To cut up DH's hoodies

Yesterday, as we all know, it was quite hot, it was over 30° here and today it's quite hot again. Okay, it's not 40 odd degrees (which dh calls just right) but it is still pretty hot. Have I said hot enough?
Yesterday DH (teacher who's started summer hols already) went about his daily business out and about in jogging bottoms, a t shirt and a big, thick hoodie. One of those hoodies that's all fluffy and cosy inside. Today he's wearing a tracksuit with a hoodie. I feel inexplicably annoyed...and hot.

people who live in deserts wear robes that cover their whole body.

Aren't they light, floaty, breezy, cottony robes though? I can't imagine anything worse than a thick fleecy hoody in this heat. In fact the thought of it has made me feel so hot, I'm off to rub an ice cube over my forehead.

DS is the same. I tried to hide all his hoodies but he still left the house wearing one this morning Angry

But it's their life isn't it? You're not wearing the hoodies!

If my DH read this he would think I'd written it. He spends his life in a hoodie. We've just got back from 2 weeks in Spain, 32 degrees most days and he took 4 hoodies.

Keep checking mn for a 'my plumber just gave me an eyefull' thread!

I'm with your hubby, sorry. I'm perpetually cold. I never wear shorts and almost always have a hoody or cardigan. My ex used to say I was cold blooded! I do have an underactive thyroid so do tend to run cold.

I'd cut them up, not for the reasons you propose, but because he's a grown adult a spouse and a professional job who dresses like a juvenile delinquent. What is he going to do during his holiday? Drink 2 litres of white lightning in the park? Get the man some sensible Farah slacks.

Dylan I don't see what he's wearing when he's not working has anything to say to the question. If he was wearing them to work, by all means have at them, but it's nobody's business how he dresses off-duty.

OP, if he's wearing a fluffy hoodie in summer, what does he wear in winter?

Knicker my tongue was very firmly in my cheek, hence the reference to Farah slacks.

AndrastesKnickerweasels · 30/07/2016 11:46

Dylan, aaaahhh ok. I have literally no idea what Farah slacks are!

Yabu. You should be a good supportive wife and wear a hoody too.

The word "slacks" has been posted on this thread Shock

I hate that word.

OP - my DS dresses like that all the time.

Hoodies are really difficult to cut up and you'll get fluff all over the carpet.
