Who is being reasonable re razor on the bath?

[Grumpylumpy]

Thrilling subject coming up.

Me and Dp have just had a little bicker about this and he said I should post it on here because he knows everyone will agree with him. I think I am right so we shall see.

I leave my razor on the side of the bath after my shower (it used to be on one of those sucky shower tidies but it fell off). When I bath Dd I move the razor and put it in the bathroom cabinet so she can't touch it.

Dp is forever moaning about it because he doesn't see why he should have to move it when he does bath time and is worried Dd will cut herself. I think he should just move it every time he baths her.

We both think the other person is lazy.

I'd say you've got bigger problems if you're genuinely bickering over this!
Although I do think it should be put away straight after use.

My mum used to leave her razor on the side of the bath, whist visiting her house DD age 2 wandered into the bathroom (I was in the next room) and managed to cut her lip with it, not badly but I felt auwful about it so did my mum,
Yabu just keep it in the cabinet

We bicker all the time over stupid stuff. It's not arguing as such.

Glad you've seen sense.
If you have a small child in the house, you don't leave things like razors at child height. Today she might not be able to get in the bathroom (unless a visitor leaves the door open or one of you doesn't quite shut it when rushing to open the door or something), and today she might not be able to reach the other side of the bath, but you turn round, and they've just grown a bit and can do something they couldn't do yesterday.
All that aside, it's just tidier. Why create another job by putting it in a different place, when you could just put it away when you finish with it ?

I leave mine on the bath. I also do bath time and remember to move it. However, I may start hiding it away after seeing these replies! I can honestly say it's never crossed my mind! Yet it was totally fine for me to shout at DP for leaving charger plugged in where DD can reach it as she's currently in the 'put everything in her mouth' stage ---- Oooops

I agree you have to remember to put them away. Many years ago my DC had to shower quickly in my bathroom when the family bathroom was out of order. My razor fell on DS's foot and made a tiny cut - not big enough to be seen but big enough to bleed and it bled quick because he was wet. Cue DS getting hysterical at the sight of his own blood and all his siblings developing sympathetic vomiting. That was a fun morning and no one got to school.

I couldn't blame them or DH. I was the one who left a razor lying round.

YABU. Move your own razor!

My sister found my dad's razor once when we were kids and tried to shave herself to be like daddy. She cut her face to shreds. No permanent scars thank goodness but she had blood everywhere.

Sorry OP yabu. Just make a habit of putting it away. LO wont stay this little forever so it's best to make sure it's always put away. Plus I hate clutter around the side of the bath

I won’t say yabu cause I’m not gonna put the boot in. But I will tell you this- I thought my ds couldn’t reach where I left mine- I don’t have a cabinet so it was up ‘out of reach’

Well he woke me the other morning screaming he was bleeding. Yup. He’d tried to shave the ‘hair’ on his hand. A very tiny mark but fucking painful and I feel like shit even admitting it. It was also behind a door which I struggle to open so was certain he couldn’t. Well, he could, he did, I feel awful even though it’s fully healed and I won’t ever make that mistake again. Don’t be me!

I always put mine away. Friend of mine left hers out and her 2 year old shaved their tongue. Bled for ages and ruined her cream hall carpet (no long term damage done to the child, it just doesnt stop bleeding)

I can't stand clutter so I'd say put it away. I remember the exact same thread from a few months back though..
