We're looking to get a playhouse for the children and I found this - he won't let me get it . It's very good value I think!

Budababe, you're right. Any man who can be so unreasonably tight isn't worth it.

Doesn't he want your ds's to have lovely happy childhood memories when they are adults. They must have it and YOU must insist!!

RLYL - I could just get it anyway. I think it's terrible wanting to deprive my precious children of something they clearly need.

buy it DH can live in it!

Cor men eh! Tell him to get out and get a evening job and night job to earn the money for it. Sleep is for the weak. He Should be there to provide all the essentials for his kids (isnt that what men are for???)and this is obviously essential.

Yep looks bigger than our house too!!!

Good lord! - I guess this is the playhouse for the mini Beckhams etc of this world

Men hey. No idea of what's important in childhood. My children will be scarred for life.

Divorce the bastard.

My parents didn't get me one of those and I've turned out to be a right mess because of it.

Rarely having a garden, moving a lot and having no money were their feeble excuses.

Bah.

It's not a lot to ask is it, one little playhouse.

Good grief, put that in my garden and there'd be a family of squatters living in it by the end of the weekend.

Have just remembered my childhood 'playhouse' - a sheet with doors and windows drawn on it hung across the hallway. Which explains years of psychosis. Your children need this.

casbie · 04/05/2007 11:46

look out for Rosepetal Cottage by Worlds Apart, in TRU and Argos in May - gorgeous...

I worked on it!

sockmonkey · 04/05/2007 11:58

How can a feeling father deny his children somewhere like this to play. He ought to get two of them to make up for it!

Oh yes sock mummy - a terrace! In fact, I've got 3 children, so 3 of them would look fantastic!
