To expect dh to make ds2 some slippers?

[hiddenhome]

He's onto making his second pair of slippers. Ds2 is an adult size 4 and I can't find boys slippers in that size anywhere. He stubbed his toe on the vacuum cleaner two days ago and the weather will be getting colder soon.

Instead, dh is compulsively making himself slippers

It's not on is it?

Couldn't you just buy adult size 4 slippers for him? Or am I missing something?

So long as they're not a la Ed Gein, it'd depend on how long it takes him to make them.

Posted too soon there, if it only takes him a week and your DS has been without for a while then he could wait couldn't he?

If it'd take him until Christmas, he should do DSs first, although they'd make for one present less to get

Did you bother to ask him?

Why not cut the pieces out ready for DH to sew tomorrow, leave them out on the side overnight and see what happens?

How do you make slippers!?

That sounds cool.

But you could just buy your child some slippers if him not having any is an issue.

You can't seem to get adult size 4 slippers for a boy. I can only find 2 or 3. Size 4's seem to be for females only. Adult male slippers don't start until size 6. It's all very unsatisfactory.

Dh makes nice slippers out of leather.

frisky

I've seen some nice moulds you can (wet, I think) felt around. They do look a bit like pixie shoes, however.

Is he a cobbler?

Maybe DS should look where he is going.
Sorry, that was a bit mean.

It's August not January.

I've asked him repeatedly to make slippers for ds2, but he doesn't.

Yanbu. He should delay making his own on account of the stubbed toe.

No, not a cobbler, he just likes making stuff. He made some shoes from a kit you can buy over the internet.

Tesco do size four boys' slippers, I bought some for my son a month or so ago.

hidden you have some interesting worries

Surely there must be some women's slippers out there that would be suitable? I would have thought M&S for example would have plain ones in dark colours. If your son's feet are still growing I wouldn't personally want to spend money on leather when they might not fit for long.

Do they? That would be great. I'll make sure I check the store out. I'd desperate for slippers for him. If I can't get any, and dh won't make him some, I'll have to stick him in plimsoles.

Or you could buy him some of these?

Oh, no dh doesn't buy the leather. He uses leather that he has stored someplace. He produces stuff and makes things. He also does rugs. I think the leather is from a leather rucksack that he's taken to bits or something.

Is your Dh called Gepetto?

Does your kid have a suspiciously long nose occasionally?

Disclaimer for rudeness: no one makes fucking slippers!

Slippers are a serious business Igloofornow

dh is a bit weird

I don't mean that I think fluffy pink slippers are unsuitable for a boy!

No, he wouldn't wear pink, fluffy ones. The only women's slippers in the shop seem to have roses or bows on.

And M&S have a number of styles of boys' slippers which go up to adult size 4 and beyond here.

So I have to conclude YABU not to Google this :)
