DH.
He bathes the baby each night but without fail I have to ask or remind him to do it because he is Sat on his arse watching tv or in he garage or doing something.

It gets later & the baby gets crabby because he is tired & wants his milk & bed, yet I STILL have to fucking say something.

It's 10 minutes of baby free time for me to sort out the dishes or just sit.

Feel like a nag.

Try a little respect for the generation that came before you.

Someone who thinks it's sad that the husband is selfish but advises the best way is to just do everything yourself doesn't fill me full of respect Grin

I doubt being a martyr/mug would go any way to gaining respect from a husband either.

If he can't remember to do a simple task each evening that needs to be fixed. The solution isn't to pile more work onto the OP just because he can't be arsed!

"Your first responsibility is to the baby. Routine is always helpful. Just get it done yourself. It is sad that the father is so selfish. Reminding him of his responsibility will only go on exhausting you. As I said. It just isn't fair. Live with it"

For a very brief worrying moment there I thought I had re-opened the GF book..........

Holy crap, I use to love bath times especially if it was just 1 on 1 and with mum having a cuppa. OP your man is a fool.

i hate it when people give out biscuits,it makes me cringe,stop it!Its almost bad as when people say things like "grabs popcorn,sits back and waits" its embarrassing!

OH do come on people - Pink is just someone on a wind-up. Ignore.

I'd rather bath the baby and leave DH a list of jobs Grin I'd also be knocking the night feeding on the head!

mrsspagbol · 08/10/2013 11:42

ringarosy why?!?!

urtwistingmymelonman · 08/10/2013 13:43

on your own there ringa.

I couldn't give less of a shiney shit how old anyone is.
Unfortunatley this is an Internet forum where I can say pretty much whatever the fuck I like.
If you don't like it report the message

As far as I am aware it is perfectly possible to be a grandmother at 32 or even younger and you have no idea how old I am either.

I also do not understand why just because someone was born before me deserves automatic respect?
Especially when they have been extremely rude themselves.
Any way thought my suggestion was rather helpful.

PS I love my own grandmother more than toffee and she swears like a sailor even better than me after a drink.

i just imagine some middle aged woman sitting back looking all smug,getting excited over something happening on a parenting forum.

OTTMummA · 08/10/2013 14:36

Middle Aged! Shock
How very dare you!

Not really THAT exciting though is it,,, more like fed up with the same old rubbish about how old people are deserving. Hmm

NichyNoo · 08/10/2013 14:38

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but DS1 is now 3 years old and every single night at 7pm I have to yell 'bathtime' at DH about 4 times before he gets his arse off the computer and goes and gives DS1 and DS2 a bath Sad

OTTMummA · 08/10/2013 14:38

I am sitting back though, and looking smug, but only because DD has decided to nap for 2 hours and I've managed lunch in peace Grin

2/4 ain't bad here have a Biscuit Wink

urtwistingmymelonman · 08/10/2013 14:50

jimijack · 08/10/2013 19:30

Can I come off the naughty step for swearing now?

Chippednailvarnish · 08/10/2013 19:37

No you fucking can't.

jimijack · 08/10/2013 19:45

Oh bollocks.

I need to bash dh over the head for having to be reminded AGAIN tonight. Can't do it from the naughty step can I?

Told him, crack on, your baby is mouldy under his chin and is tired. So he did. Job done.....til tomorrow.
