Let's go and ask Mummy

[SnugglySnerd]

No don't ask me. I don't have an opinion I just want 5 minutes peace. Piss off and make a decision on your own for once.

Also why is it never "let's go and ask Daddy"?

The one which winds me up is relatives asking what to get my daughter for christmas. I struggle to come up with my own list and they want me to give some of it away???

"Craft Stuff" is all they get!

DH and I are more or less interchangeable as far as the dc are concerned. So much so that he gets called mummy and vice versa

Same here. Except he still gets all the bum wiping duties ;-)

Yes, we've just had the request from both sets of grandparents about what the DC want for Christmas. We don't even know what we're getting for them yet!

I guard my xmas list for DS jealously, he so seldom can think of anything he wants I have to spend ages coming up with ideas, don't want to then give all the good ones away!

Yes I get the feeling we are interchangeable too, and we both get called both "mummy" and "daddy".

Even my step kids do this

"Beco, what's for lunch?"

Whatever your dad makes you

"What's he going to make us?"

Boy, he is RIGHT THERE. Also you are 14 and I have shown you how to use the hob.

My two year old stepson has started doing this. Bearing in mind I'm not his actual mum. I'll be sat trying to do some work for university and I'll hear a little voice, 'Legally, can I...?' I don't know, ask your dad! I can only assume he does it his mum's house and has carried the practice over.

Mine do this; although my DH is usually the first to say ‘Why are you asking Mummy (if I’m a different room) when I am sitting RIGHT HERE! ‘ it is usually do some food or drink. It’s like mums are seen as the provider of all food and sustenance.

This is my life The idea I am the only parent.

DP promises something ridiculous, (ie that we can't afford) then can't follow through, BUT asks me to tell DDs quote 'as he doesn't want to be the one to disappoint them'

Cue me asking WTF!!!

OR: DDs want candy floss at the fair just minutes after having just eating donuts
They ask him so he says Ok...I say, but they've just had donuts 5 mins ago, you know have to help me parent and monitor the sugar and junk intake plus you say to me in private are they getting fat (they aren't)
DP says 'But it's my day out too and then that's no fun for me'.

Useless fucker.

MiL does this. Will call me over to the kitchen to put a plate of food together for the DC even though DH is stood right next to her

Just because she married someone who was completely hands off with children, she thinks all fathers are like that
