To ask DH to go get dd from school because ...

[TeaJunky]

.....it's windy outside (Manchester, DH works locally for himself)

while I stay at home with 1 year old dd2, potter around after a long bath and have tea and crisps

Not at all

This is my plan too

Great minds, baker

Do it.
I'm wondering how I can get Dh to go and pick up. He's home so will just say I should go too.

Squinkie, perhaps you can go for a bath around home time and then shout from the bathroom 'darling I'm in the bath now and it will take me aaaages to get rinsed off and out and dressed, you'll have to go alone'

How did you manage to have a long bath with 1 yr old dd? I have a 6 month old, is there an Other Side to this parenting lark where lovely long baths are possible??

Puurrt

Dd's long naps are engineered to the second in accordance with my long baths. It has taken me a year to work it to perfection.

I can now have a long bath every day if I so wish. great mum me

If my DH was available I would ask him to get my DD too, but as usual he is at work and can not get out. So she will just have to walk back
but at least she has her coat. Seems to have eased off a bit here, thank god.

If I actually had a partner I'd ask him to go and pick mine up.

Having said that I now live five minutes walk from school, whereas we used to live a bus ride away and sometimes we'd miss the bus and have to wait half an hour for the next one, so I'm still loving the novelty of a five minute walk

Tea Do you run courses on how to achieve this zen daily bath state? Maybe a textbook with instructions?

OMG Tea if I'm naked in the bath he'll think thats an invite and try to join me.

Bath baby. Run self a bath while baby has nappy free time. Boob baby into submission for the night. Luxuriate

Purple @ boob baby into submission

Purrt - I'm just a stubborn arse who wouldn't sacrifice her long baths for no one

Tea you're an expert!

I'm too lazy for any other method (he's also 1 btw) :o

I honestly think we kind of fell into a routine because my baths are so crucial for my emotional and mental well being and no I don't feel like a nob saying that

Wake up in morning, get dd1 ready and DH takes her to school, have cup of tea, feed baby porridge and milk. She has a little play and then goes down happily for a nap. (Don't flame me but don't all babies do this? ) This is the point at which I drop everything and RUN to the bathroom

I'm worse- I've sent my oap father to get mine But really, it's blowing a gale out there and I can't find a hair Bobble- if I went I would come back bearing more than a passing resemblance to Brian blessed. Really it's a public service that I not go.
