to be pissed off with dh over a temporary tattoo

[K8eee]

He's just come back in with dd who is not even 15 months old and he's put a bloody temporary tattoo on her arm it's safe to say I'm so pissed off! aibu to be like this? I've already googled how to removed them safely and it looks like baby oil is the best way, any other suggestions welcomed!

Its nothing like having ears pierced. What a stupid comment.

Oh for fucks sake, how precious! It's a glorified sticker that will wipe off, its nothing like putting holes in the child with sharp implements.
Take the stick out of your arse and apologise to him for over-reacting massively.

Yab more u than amost any op I have read on aibu. Hth.

YABU

Hairspray gets them off fairly easily.

I'm not especially fan of these temp tattoos, but I don't really see the issue here. It'll come off in a second. Your DH presumably thought it was a nice/fun thing to do. You don't agree. Why so angry about it?

You said something like 'like ear piercing and whether it's classed as abuse' which reads to most people on this thread like YOU equate ear piercing on babies to abuse and therefore this is also like abuse.

No need to get snippy because you've been told you're being daft!

it's a similar thing of getting your babies ears pierced and whether it's class as abuse or not

Hahahahaha. Seriously? You think sticking an easily removable transfer to a child's skin is the same as shooting a sharp metal object through their flesh?

Not entirely sure what your comment about abuse means.

I can never put those things on right. I always put them on the wrong way round.

He was out having fun with daughter ( considered to be a good thing on mn) he did a harmless thing that probably made her giggle, my dc could recognise favourite cartoon characters etc at that age, even before they could speak much. Lots of women complain about dh not being involved with dc, they do something sweet and harmless and then get criticism, let both parents be parents even if they do things differently ( as long as everyone is safe and happy)

I find most don't come off with oil any more. Have to use surgical spirit to get them off DD. I hate them but DD fucking loves them

And yeah, I don't get the connection between this (a superficial, removable picture) and ear piercing (irreversible [in most cases] body modification). Can you explain why you have conflated the two?

I'm the same nobody. I end up with if on me. Ds currently has spidermans crotch and left leg as the rest of him got stuck to my palm

I dont understand the issue. What is wrong with a temporary tattoo?

Wow, I bet you're a joy to be around OP.

Of course YABU. If you don't like it just calmly tell him that you'd rather not have stickers on your child and explain why. No need to get angry with him, he can't read your mind.

I loved it when my dcs had temporary tattoos. Batman logo, power rangers, harry potter zig zag. Ahhh.

Oh Jesus Christ she's not gonna be demanding you go to get her inked at 3. The poor man having fun with his daughter tut tut

Wait until she comes home with her nips pierced and a bunch of flowers inked on her arm

Body modding is fun

It's rather silly to put on a child that young because her skin might be sensitive, but it's not worth a battle. It'll come off and hopefully he won't do it again.

If you don't like it just calmly tell him that you'd rather not have stickers on your child and explain why. No need to get angry with him, he can't read your mind.

And he can still do it anyway if he wants.

Your husband put a sticker on his and your child.

THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING GOING ON IN THE WORLD TODAY!

After tattoo-gate it's just a matter of time before your daughter end up faced down in an alley somewhere with a bottle of cheap vodka in one hand, and a needle in her arm.

Did you know that 97% of temporary tattoo victims don't live to see their 40th birthday.

Why oh why oh why oh why oh why is there no government treatment programme to help out youngsters to just say "No Daddy" to this type of terrible assault?

It's a "gateway" to more disgusting behaviour, such as sweet cigarettes, that coconut tobacco stuff, and McDonalds crack burgers.

£100 million pounds a year spent fighting this menace, or a bit of baby lotion, is the obvious solution.

We are all praying for her.

OP are you ok? Sometimes it's easy to get overly anxious about our children, we've probably all done something similar in the past but if it's happening with you a lot you might feel better having a chat with your gp.

OP. Take a step back, take a deep breath and think "does this really matter?"

Is your child harmed? Are they happy? Has she had fun with her dad? These are the things that matter.

I can see why you might not like it - my partner paints our two year olds fingers and I'm not keen - but it's not a big deal, they have fun doing it and it's not going to hurt anyone. you have overreacted a bit I'm afraid.

I think you need to find your DH and apologise for having treated him like a disenfranchised onlooker.

As pp have said, he is her father and you are, quite simply, not the (only) boss. You need to wind your neck in and save your ire for something that actually matters.

Oh, and please, don't remove it. That would just show that, regardless of what you say or he thinks, you will a have the last word, the upper hand. Mind you, I would guess you have utterly spoilt his father/daughter morning now anyway.

Shame...
