Aibu to want to put my man child husband in a nappy?

[Celp28]

😡 need a little vent and possibly for someone to tell me that I’m massively overreacting and this is perfectly acceptable behaviour from an over grown man child! We have both been at work, admittedly he starts earlier than me at 7am until 2 pm, I work 8.30 until 4.30pm. Dh picked up ds2 (3yo) from grandparents. Ds2 is unwell with a cold - so much snot it’d fill the Grand Canyon! Ds2 falls asleep in the car on way home about 3.30pm, dh carries him in and let’s him sleep. I come home at 4.45pm, ds2 still asleep. I ask dh to wake him up while I go to supermarket for needed supplies. 5.20pm I return, ds still asleep. As I walk in the bag splits, shopping spread all over the drive. At this precise moment ds1 (12yo) comes to the door, the dog has eaten a sock and no joke it’s hanging out of his bum ds1 understandably refuses to remove the offending bum sock. So I’m gathering food items from the drive and trying to prevent the bum sock from entering the house. I shout to dh to come help who says he can’t as ds2 needs his nose wiping in his sleep and he’s busy. Wait a couple of minutes, shout for him to bring a poo bag or something to help me retrieve the bum sock before the dog gets in the house. He still doesn’t come. He then shouts that I’m always stressing and finally gets off his bum to come see the commotion. He then literally gags and runs in the house and leaves me with arms full of food and a dog with a sock hanging out his arse! So needless to say, I put my big girl pants on, pulled out the sock, packed away the shopping, woke up the snot monster myself and am now cooking dinner all while he complains that the dog is gross and it’s put him off his dinner just thinking about the sock! Are all men this big a babies? He seriously thinks his life is stressful 😡

😂😂😂😂. This sounds like a day in my life!

My dog once pood out a long length of electrical cable as I was walking her through a very busy upmarket botanical gardens. I had to pull it to prevent her trialing it behind her.......was horrendous 😂

[Magpiefeather]

Not the point of the thread but....

If a pet swallows a ball of string or a long length of floss or thread - do not pull it! Go to the vet. Inside it might be tangled around in their intestines and cause big problems if pulled (vet friend has told me lots of horror stories) .

[Coffeeisnecessary]

I know someone whose dog did a poo and it came out in a pop sock.

[nervousnails]

Bum Sock 😂😂😂😂 Oh, OP. This is a common scene in this house and my DH always gets a bollocking and he is sheepish for a few days until he reverts to his usual, useless self.

[seasure]

Could we make bum sock a mumsnet code please

[honeybeeq]

Same dog once shat out a pair of red French knickers whilst out with a dog walkers and she gave them back to me in a bag 🤢 promptly binned them. What did she think I wanted them for? Ooh yes I've been looking for these I'll just pop them in the washer and they'll be good as new

Picture of knicker eater attached

[Peoplemaynoticeus]

I will never get a dog

[Oldaintallthat]

Im so sorry OP but
He's a dick

[Smoothsailing9]

Was just relaying this tale to DS (12). He says you should have left the sock there to catch the dog’s next poo 😂😂

[Northernparent68]

You are over reacting, your husband was with your son not watching tv. He probably did n’t realise how urgently you needed help. You could have sorted the dog out and asked your 12 year old to pick the food up

[Celp28]

I’m laughing now too. I must of looked a right sight to the neighbours. To top it off I realised when I got in the house and disinfected my hands and hosed the pooey dog down that I’ve sat in green paint at some point today! So whilst shopping and bending over on the drive I have had a massive green stain covering my arse cheek of a black and white dress! The neighbours are going to point us out as the ‘poo bum house’ the dog has dangle berries and the owner craps grotbags coloured liquid in her pants 🙈 maybe I need the said nappy. Oh today can just sod off! Too much bodily fluid! The 3yo is still leaking an obscene amount of gunge and and the dog is further in disgrace after trying to lick the snot off ds face! I need wine!

[AcrossthePond55]

Luckily, my DH is in charge of 'bum issues' with our dogs. We've had toilet paper, a hair, and 'dingleberries'.

Seriously, your DH needs to get off his ass. I'm not blaming you, but this behaviour is learned. It can be 'unlearned', but it's hard. I did the 'super mum/wife' thing during the early days but but my MiL sat me down and told me she didn't raise him to be a helpless idiot (her words) and for me to stop running around after him and the DC and let him pull his own weight. She was a treasure, my late and lovely MiL.

[Echobelly]

LOL, tell your DH he was being a bum sock!

[Snowysky20009]

Thank you for giving me a much needed laugh OP!! 🤣🤣🤣

[Celp28]

Oh guys your replies are making my face hurt! I’m crying actual tears! Who the heck wants back digested knickers!?! Hilarious! And redexpat I literally choked laughing when I read your first comment, is ‘bum sock pulling’ going to be the new craze?!! 😂😂😂 each to their own 😂

[overnightangel]

“Are all men this big a babies?”

No. Of course not. But you chose one who is

[OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny]

PMSL @ Bum Sock!!

Our cat once ate so sparkly stuff from the Christmas tree and had Tinsel Arse

Hope your day gets better OP

[TigerTooth]

Thank you op - and your dog

[GrabbyMcGrabby]

OP, that is one funny story.

Your DH is complete wanker.

for you.

[longwayoff]

Its definitely time to get some chickens.

[vampirethriller]

My dog ate a whole sandwich in cellophane and the wrapper came out the other end still bearing the words "chicken salad roll"
Feed the dog another sock and lock it in a room with your husband to let nature take it's course?

[Iputthescrewinthetuna]

I've just had a really long day at work. Bum sock has just cheered me up so much!

This will now be my new phrase when I mess up. 'Oh shit' is so outdated! 'Oh bum sock' sounds so much better!

[Roomba]

Whenever my children beg me for a dog, I just remember the time my friend's dog ate then shat out a pair of tights - and I say NO BLOODY WAY AM I GETTING A DOG!

[posieperkinandpootle]

If it makes you feel better at least DDog got the sock out himself. Our DDog is a sock muncher, first time I phoned the vet who said, wait and see what happens if you don't have it back in a couple of days, bring him in. He threw it up while out for a walk with DH who found it necessary to send me a photo of the sock puke. I mean I was relieved but I could've waited another half hour for the good news. This scenario was repeated a couple of months later. Then the third time the day before we were due to fly away for holiday and I was supposed to be packing, cleaning, etc. I swear the dog got wind he was going into kennels, managed to sneak a pair of DD's trainer socks out the case, brought them through & I swear looked me straight in the eye as if to say "ha you can't leave me if I eat these, you will have to wait for the sock puke", and swallowed them in a oner. Cue, emergency trip to vet for an emetic as couldn't chance it that he'd sock puke at the kennels and not rupture himself instead. £62 (& that was half price because we pay a monthly treatment plan).
We've managed to keep him away from socks since then, but he has eaten Lego (tantrum from son as I refused to retrieve the vital brick from shit and wash it), a packet of crayons (rainbow shit) and a skittle (chewed up plastic one not sweets), cat shit (violent doggy diarrhoea).

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny..... You mean your cat had Tinselitis!!
