"17 sleeps until Santa" at the top of his voice when I'm trying to get three boys settled for bath and bed. Boys now leaping around the house high as kites......

AIBU to want to nuke him (lighthearted of course....!) Smile

Force him to go out and buy you a bottle of your favourite drink. 17 drinks to go...

It is only OK to say "sleeps til Christmas" if (a) there's only one (b) you're singing the song from Muppet Christmas Carol AND (c) you're doing it in a Kermit voice.

So, yes, your husband WBVVU.

TheABC - am loving that plan...am writing my list Wine

StartledByHisFurryShorts - sadly it's not even the muppets song - some crazy upbeat number he's heard on the radio apparently...

I love this song! It's from heart radio!

WiseOwlLady · 08/12/2016 20:24

I love that song on heart too!

ValaMalDoran · 08/12/2016 20:27

The correct response is "3 small boys need you to say goodnight" then run.

I would leave my husband if he ever said "sleeps". People who use it are in the same category as those who says "holibobs" and "drinkypoos".

Is there space for dd under your patio too? Her birthday is the 23rd so i get "only X more days until my birthday so that means X+2 days until Christmas and what day are we going to gran's again? So X+1 days until we go to gran's I can't wait to go to gran's and I really can't wait until my birthday just think mum only X-1 days and you will be mixing up a big chocolate cake for my birthday" please make her stop.
