to murder my husband over this

My husband knows the tone of his voice wakes our 5 week old unless he whispers. Just fed her and managed to get her asleep and down in cot without waking, get into bed myself; baby still asleep fantastic- he talks= baby wakes up and won't settle back down. 20 mins later, he's now asleep while I'm still trying to get baby back down without waking. I'm sure in the circumstances the judge would let me off!

Yanbu.

ghostinthecanvas · 22/02/2014 23:58

hellooctober01 · 22/02/2014 23:59

Death by radio alarm?

People coughing outside, post through the letterbox, next doors TV, lawn mowers, every noise is unreasonable when you're jumpy about your baby staying asleep.

He should receive the everlasting sleep as punishment.

Unless the baby needs a breastfeed wake him
Up and get him to settle the baby.

Diamondjoan · 23/02/2014 00:05

I'd be digging a knee in his back as you're crawling back into bed.

TheVictorian · 23/02/2014 00:06

You could give your dp a ball gag to wear. That would make him quite.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 23/02/2014 00:09

Take it from me, this is just the start of the list of reasons.

Do it. We'll cover for you.

MichaelFinnigan · 23/02/2014 00:14

Yes M'lord she was with me

supergreenuk · 23/02/2014 00:23

Yep from now on if he can't hush up he needs to step up

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 23/02/2014 00:28

Immac one of his eyebrows.

AgentZigzag · 23/02/2014 00:29

OP making a start on cleaning up the blood?

It's a bugger to shift.

I'm told.

Apparentlychilled · 23/02/2014 00:30

Yanbu

MrsTerryPratchett · 23/02/2014 00:30

With babies; you broke it, you fix it. Why are you settling?

frogslegs35 · 23/02/2014 00:36

You've enough alibi's Op - go on murder the twat :)

Next time make him stay awake until baby goes back to sleep.

TheVictorian · 23/02/2014 00:42

AgentZigzag apparently coke cola is quite good at cleaning blood up depending on the type of surface its on.

Nancery · 23/02/2014 00:43

LTB ;-)

Jolleigh · 23/02/2014 00:44

I'm currently wide awake and nesting should you need help with the clean up and body disposal Wink

AgentZigzag · 23/02/2014 00:52

If the area's bleached it fucks up their blood stain analysis camouflages the blood stain when they use luminol to look for it Vic.

Always good to know this shit Wink

NotQuiteWithItAtAll · 23/02/2014 01:21

Loving the bleach advice. Grin

EllaFitzgerald · 23/02/2014 01:24

Don't do it! Haven't you seen CSI/Poirot/Midsummer Murders? They always suspect the spouse first.

I'm currently laying next to a snoring DH, knowing that we both have to get up in four hours, so if you'd like to do a 'Strangers on a Train' type of exchange, just give me the nod Grin

Kafri · 23/02/2014 03:57

DS is 14m now and I've lost count of the number if times it's been wholly acceptable to murder DH.

Top 3 have to be...

  1. The racket he makes walking down the landing to the bathroom. Herd of elephants would be quieter.
  1. Coughing constantly - since DS started nursery he's nigh on had a constant cold and DH seems to have been the same. I'm exhausted from the bad night with DS and the worse nights listening to DH!!
  1. Bloody racing car noise from the tv. I lie in bed waiting fir it to wake DS!!!

But yeah I agree with a pp (sorry can't remember name) as far as baby is concerned - whoever breaks it, fixes it!
