To be pissed off with DD and OH

[bellsbuss]

On Saturday DD1 asked to borrow my treasured tweezers, I agreed on the condition that they were returned and that they were not to leave the house. This evening whilst watching tv I rubbed my chin and felt not 1, not 2 not even 3 but 4 hairs. I said to OH let's pause the tv whilst I pop to the loo, go to my makeup bag and no tweezers. I then remember DD has them but is at her boyfriends, ring her and she says that she has them with her and will return them tomorrow. I rant at her and then start ranting at OH how mad I am. The more he says it's only tweezers the angrier I get, the more he asks why I need them so desperately is making me boil. Now he knows I know that he knows why I want them but there's unwritten rule that it's not to be mentioned after I gave him the death stare when he caught me plucking once. He then proceeds to start saying repeatedly not by the hair on my chinny chin chin and cracking up laughing. I want to slap him

YABU a little but it’s a lesson in not giving them to your daughter and maybe telling her that she needs to get her own things now.

Hugs

I have a daughter (or two)

I don't have any tweezers

They have a universe of hidden tweezers

I wish someone would invent magnetic fully alarmed traceable tweezers

I feel your pain

I have 3 pairs of tweezers (and an equally comedic DH). I suggest investing in another pair of tweezers.

I have DDs.

We had world war 3 over tweezers.

I feel your pain.

YANBU if you asked for them not to leave the house but I do think you need to calm down a little
There are worst things in the world than your daughter borrowing your tweezers.
No need to moan at your husband for something he hasn’t done and he’s probably just mucking around to try and making you feel better

PS, my chin hair has been called Brenda. Brenda is a sneaker fucker who likes to pop out at classy events such as weddings or Christmas parties, on the rare occasions I actually wear make up. Brenda can go fuck herself.

I now keep a pair in the glovebox in the car. The car mirror is the best ever for chin hairs.

There is nothing more annoying that discovering a chin hair(s) and having no tweezers, it's actually impossible to stop stroking them, I can sympathise. You need to get them back and find a hiding place for them or it will happen again, people with no chin hair simply cannot understand

How do chin hairs just pop out at that length? I never understand how they do that

I never lend out my tweezers as I know I never see them again

It's just that my chin hairs are like wire and once I can feel them if I don't get them immediately seem to grow at an alarming rate

Mine are too OP
I once ended up using a huge pair of scissors in the loo at work to trim the 4 hairs because no tweezers and I couldn’t tolerate them anymore

Impress upon DD the importance of returning stuff and if not consequences =don't lend. That's a good wider life lesson.

Buy lots of those cheap things like that- tights, tweezers, nail clippers. Hide some.

If In desperation, put a lock on your bedroom door.

DD has text to say sorry and that she knows why I need them lol. She once promised me that when I'm really old and can't see properly she will pluck my chin for me

I can quite often pince mine out using my nails... But there is always the jeopardy od trying too many times and ending up with a zit

not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
Witty but he does know he's shortening his life?

Gnnnn, I feel your pain OP!! DS borrows mine to sort out his monobrow and forgets to return them. I now have only 2 tweezers left, but not my expensive super one I bought to replace the last good pair that went missing. These left aren't great ones

I caught DDs & DS variously getting a sim out of phone, opening a parcel and using to clean dirty fingernails, on 3 separate occasions a few months ago with my precious cherished Xmas treat (£23) tweezers!! (They disappeared shortly afterwards though I'm not sure I could use them afterwards despite bleaching them!!) . You could hear me ROAR from the next city away on each occasion!!

I now growl to my precious gorgeous beloved DC, whom I love the bones of, "Touch my tweezers again at risk of death or mushroom & lentil stew for 5 days in a row you flippin' delinquents!... And DON'T think I WON'T'!"

I had bought them their own tweezers when they'd asked, but they lose them. I hope you get them back and growl suitably at your DD.

Also, you owe your OH a piss take, bide your time....the opportunity will present itself soon enough...

But he doesn't know you know that he knows! (Sorry Friends reference)

Reading between the line a bit I guess this isn't the first time something of yours has been misused and I totally get that, I have three girls and am constantly trying to find 'my' stuff.

Well that's different ! Phew, she sounds very understanding and that she's avoided 3 days of lentil stew. Noice move DD.

@fairypuff

Whereismummyhiding2 OH is laughing as I keep rubbing my chin , I can't help it. I have tweezermans and they are so expensive but cheap ones just don't cut it. I'm not normally one for getting so angry but I once caught sight of my chin in a mirror when out and the sun caught my face and I swear my chin hairs were glistening. From that day on I check them. Used to be every few week but now they need plucking a few times a week. I found one growing out of my neck recently

bless Her she must be too young to know the NEED to pluck a chin hair. One day...

@bellsbuss
OMG my heart is being stabbed with the pain of it !! You have to cover all the mirrors in your house .. Don't go near the light!! Stay in until your DD returns tomorrow for you to whip out those wirey interlopers!!

Does you OH not know how thin the ice is that he is treading on??!!

I'm hugely lol-ing at this, felt the pain many a time! Your OH sounds funny and that underneath he probably understand your pain. Still, OH, deserves a cold and plotted revenge though...

YABU. Tweezers cost a quid!

I bought a double pack of tweezers last week to hide away from DD - they disappeared before I hid them.

I've been secretly stockpiling foundation and mascara as well, as those mysteriously disappear into the black hole known as "DD's stuff."

Think I need to install a safe.

I so understand your pain. Once I feel one of those mutant hairs on my chin or neck, I cannot rest until it is gone. I have tweezers (and a magnifying mirror) on every floor of the house. If either of my daughters take those tweezers, there is hell to pay. My poor son has the best eyesight, sometimes I even have him pluck the tricky ones for me. What can I say, he really loves his mum.

@bellsbuss .... tweezermans *sigh. .. The maninolo blaniks of facial plucking...
