Had wine and would love a rant *lighthearted*

[flowerpowerspiceknicks]

Well after cleaning the bathroom tonight and placing new tooth brushes in the relevant pots, hubby shouts down "which ones mine"... I replied " your toothbrush is always in the left hand pot". No he says, I always have a green toothbrush, No I say "I change the toothbrushes every month, as long as you stick to your pot you,re fine"... So it transpires hubby (because he had a green toothbrush 2months ago) has not stuck to his pot and for the past month has been using sharing our 14 year old sons toothbrush!!! Our son is horrified and kept looking at his dad all night in disgust, I found it hilarious at first typical me but I,m also fuming that hubby couldn't take in the fact we all have a 'special' pot! He is so literal (green toothbrush forever!!!) sometimes it drives me mad...but I shouldn't complain about him as I wouldn't be without him really....he just can't see logic sometimes! I have had such a laugh that they,ve been sharing a toothbrush yakfor a whole month (son hasn,t) but aibu for being annoyed at him for minor things like this or should I cut him some slack and start and appreciate all his good points? Light hearted post but after wine (as I have day off tomorrow) i,m wondering whether I can be too hard on him sometimes. He's very much a man-child...has lots of interests but a good heart....although ds1 is still disgusted with him

I would assume that my toothbrush was always the same colour too, you can't really complain about him being a man child if you change his toothbrush for him and have to put it in a specific pot so that he knows it's his. Perhaps you could allow him to choose his own toothbrush and decide where he will keep it to avoid confusion?!

Not surprised your ds is peed off, I hate the thought of anyone using my toothbrush and my ds won't even keep his in the same pot as his brother and sister in case the heads touch. They even have separate toothpaste so that they don't have to come into contact with the nozzle where someone else's brush has touched it!

Blimey. I think MN is just here to show me how insane the world is. A toothbrush fairy comes and changes everyone's brushes once a month? I think I'm guessing why he's a manchild. You aren't raising the next gen of menchildren are you?

Is it an actual pot or is it one of those toothbrush holders? Not especially relevant, just weirdly interested.

I always get my boys the same colour toothbrush when I replace them to avoid situations like this. Keep it simple.

You can't just change his toothbrush and expect him to know because it's in the same pot! Or am I missing something because I've had wine too?

There is very little I find more disgusting than shared toothbrushes. Ick.

No I specifically told him last month that I,d changed his toothbrush, expecting him to listen, and flight yep its a lovely pot especially for him.
amy andMrs terry that's great your blokes get to choose their own toothbrushes and where to put them... mine has no interest and now ive realised I quite like that about him.

Actually I'm off to bed thankful after a whinge and realising yep...we,re all not perfect!!
