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!

Yabu. You have massively overreacted here. Her and her father have gone out and had some fun.
I bet your partner wouldnt have reacted this way if the roles were reversed!
This is the same as if she has had her face painted!
This is NOTHING like her getting her ears pierced, seriously you equate this with having a piece of metal shoved through the ear??

Iklboo me and my dad used to wear ones with big spiders on our arms to freak my mom out!

YANBU, obviously now she is going to grow up into some kind of sexual deviant, covered in tattoos and piercings with a blue and purple mohawk...

Now for my serious answer, it's a glorified sticker, it comes of easily enough, it is NOTHING like ear piercing (which for the record I don't think is child abuse, I don't like it personally, but it's not bloody abuse)
You've probably ruined his father/daughter bonding time, and he probably feels like utter shit now you've had a pop at him!
I think you should apologise and tell DH you overreacted.
If my DH had done this, and I didn't like it, I'd have either said 'Oh, I wish you hadn't, I don't really like the idea of it, but never mind, she likes it' or not said anything at all.

Temp tattoos come off much more easily than permanent marker....

I got scribbled on by a young DC when I'd dozed off one day. One hell of a job to get it off.

Where do you stand on face paints OP? You'd better make sure your dh knows your views there too in case there's another school fete related faux pas over the next few years.

When I'm doing them for the DC parties I always have a few myself! (Other parents often also seem keen) I've got some lovely Hello Kitty ones but for real class you need Djeco (pricier though)

My DM never let us have temporary tattoos, DSis tells me it's because she'd read something about LSD in temporary tattoos in the Daily Fail.

I let my DCs have them whenever, don't sweat the small stuff.

So, is because she couldn't say whether she wanted it or not. Does she tell you what she wants to wear everyday Or is she seen in public in clothes she hasn't chosen herself? Massive overreaction OP, and potentially damaging to dh's confidence in handling dd, which is a lot worse than a silly temp tattoo

fondly recalls the tattoo's that used to come in toffee cigarette packets

YABU.

Yabu, it's nothing like ear piercing. Ear piercing is putting a hole through the skin. This is a sticker that did not harm your dd at all and comes off.

Since he is her parent too and hasn't harmed or damaged her, Yabu to be angry over this. You may not like it, he may. If he puts one on again, simply wash it off.

Oooh, a unanimous AIBU

LSD in temporary tattoos

Yabu op

K8 do you think you might be transferring some greater significance to the tattoo? Clearly something has pissed you off about it but you must be able to see on it's own the tattoo is harmless?

Story time!

I recently bought DS some temp dinosaur tattoos. We covered ourselves in them. I was overdue with DD and knew I should try and wash the ones on my bump off but when I tried they wouldn't shift! DS wasn't so worried about his. I thought it was funny at first but quickly became embarrassing when I went into hospital then sadly inappropriate when DD was transferred to the special care unit. I was expressing milk for her and would just sit on my bed staring at these bloody tattoos on my now saggy belly then shuffle through the hospital to deliver my milk to DD.

It was made worse by DS acting up everyday he came in to see us. He was just a sad little boy who hadn't met his sister yet and couldn't understand why mum wasn't coming home. AND HE WAS COVERED IN DINOSAUR TATTOOS TOO! I couldn't escape the bloody things!

Anyway we're all home now, safe and sound, and the tattoos have gone but I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said I never want to see the flippin' things again. Unfortunately DS is now asking for more and I'll probably give in and let him play with them because 1) he likes them 2) they're harmless 3) they had nothing to do with DD being ill. They just remind me that she was.

Whats the real reason you didn't want one on your DD?

I've definitely heard that LSD has been known to be smuggled soaked into all kinds of paper goods, like posters or wrapping paper, than could then be cut up and sold as tabs. It's not impossible. But it's pretty unlikely if you've bought them from sainsbury's etc.

I've never had one but am tempted now. It might liven up the school fete

When DD was a tiny baby my DS decided to colour her in with felt tip pens. It took ages to wash off.

I also think you're over reacting quite a bit. They do come off very easily.

Well yes, yabu. And unpleasant to your dh. Apologise and try to keep a grip on your perspective of what constitutes a bad event.

You sound horrible op. There is nothing wrong with temp tattoos. is her father not allowed do anything with his child without your ok?

Yabu. You're being a control freak.

I think yabu and that this is a ridiculous thing to get worked up over.
