To find DP disgusting right now because of his choice in music?

He has just come home from work and put music on whilst he runs a bath like he normally does. But this time he was listening to a song containing the following lyrics as part of the chorus "Make the pussy squirt, make that pussy flow".

We have toddler DC ffs. I asked if he could not listen to it out loud for all of us to hear.

I can't believe he can listen to such an explicit song without a care for whether I would like to hear or not. And do I really have to explain to him that it's not appropriate to listen to around our DC?!

If I bring it up he'll say he likes the beat or whatever...

"I asked if he could..."
"If I bring it up he'll say..."

So did you mention it or not?

Obviously not super appropriate round the kids but it's a bit of an overreaction to find him disgusting! Tell him to get himself some decent wireless headphones...

argumentativefeminist · 10/07/2018 17:32

He's not disgusting for wanting to listen to it, that's his own decision. From googling the lyrics it does seem a bit misogynistic in places but not the worst he could be listening to and I'm no saint on that front either. But it's unreasonable for him to be listening to anything with bad language and drug references in front of the kids, even if they're not old enough to understand, I think it sets a bad precedent for future when they'll be able to hear and repeat this stuff. It's also just a bit anti-social to have on music like that out loud instead of through your headphones, unless you're really sure everyone in your house doesn't mind, which clearly isn't the case here.

Ive sometimes listened to songs and then realised when I've listened carefully that the
Lyrics are inappropriate, was he even fully aware??
I agree it's not great but some of the stuff on the radio is pretty terrible, I would argue that society as a whole shouldn't allow such lyrics but we do so I don't think it's solely your husbands fault
Did he agree to monitor what's on when you're kids are around?

HectorlovesKiki · 10/07/2018 17:36

It is totally inappropriate for your DP to subject DC to these explicit lyrics. When DC starts repeating these words at playgroup I wonder if they'll report you to social services? Little ears learn their speech by imitating what they hear. Apart from anything else, I wouldn't want to listen to those lyrics either. Tell him to wear headphones. He's a dad now & should put the interests of your DC first, not his own (he likes the beat!) I ask you!

IknowIWBUbut · 10/07/2018 17:36

I just talked to him about it and he has agreed to pay more attention the what he's listening to.

And disgusting was the wrong choice of word. I don't find his taste disgusting. He can obviously listen to what he likes. I'm just not happy for my DC and myself to be subjected to it.

Subjected myself to a bit of it to test your very valid theory nellly and it's really obvious what he's saying in those lyrics. 😳 but I agree that children are going to be exposed to stuff that's almost as bad on the radio. Its pretty much impossible to avoid in that sense.

LyndseyKola · 10/07/2018 17:37

I just talked to him about it and he has agreed to pay more attention the what he's listening to.

Was there a reason you didn’t just talk to him about it first?

Lethaldrizzle · 10/07/2018 17:38

Yanbu. I wouldn't be happy if my dh was listening to misogynistic crap like that. Who is it?

IknowIWBUbut · 10/07/2018 17:38

He has also agreed that it is completely inappropriate to listen to around our children for obvious reasons. Shame I had to initiate that thought process but at least he understands now.

LyndseyKola I was in the middle of cooking dinner so didn't have time to and then he had a bath.

I would just find his taste disgusting personally.

DayManChampionOfTheSun · 10/07/2018 17:48

No kids in the house but I am terrible for listening to awful lyrics because I like the beat or tune. One of my fave go to running track is 212. I just don't really take notice of what is being said. Tell him to invest in some headphones in future and not to play around dc

nellly · 10/07/2018 17:52

Fair enough @argumentativefeminist I'm not familiar with the particular song but I know sometimes I'm bopping along and suddenly tune in properly and realise I'm listening to something a bit Blush

HeresMe · 10/07/2018 18:15

Sound alike a terrible song, I've not heard that one and hope never too, I'm guessing it's rap.

Load of rubbish I didn't hear the lyrics how can you miss stuff like that honestly

People do need to listen to lyrics of songs.

JohnsonsSpreadsheet · 10/07/2018 19:52

Ooh I'm not really a music fan but I'm sure I have this CD in the car, is it The Weekend?

Instead of posting anonymously on the internet why didn't you say to him you didn't think it was appropriate listening for children, he was probably listening on autopilot. I know I've definitely done this to my DH before and he skips to the next track.

NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking · 10/07/2018 19:58

When I was a kid I was singing Push It by Salt n Pepa, then Sweat by Inner Circle, and then onto the lyrical master that was Wayne Marshall... I think back and cringe now! 😂

Okay, it’s not kid friendly... but a quick ‘Oi!’ to your DH would’ve sufficed surely?

eightfacesofthemoon · 10/07/2018 19:59

What’s wrong with push it?

argumentativefeminist · 10/07/2018 20:07

What do you think she's instructing him to push, eightfaces? 😂
