I am not caring for Theodore..

[Backtoschoolnotsoonenough]

I just want to wash my bloody clothes!
Aibu to be sick of catching my hand trying to get into the washing tab box?? Even when it's left open it seems to jam shut! High on a shelf, in a cupboard away from dc I seriously doubt dc would want to try one...
What simple task is 'dangerous' in your house?

Theodore?

They are extremely dangerous though to little Theodore.

I'm fed up with childproof bottles that refuse to open

I keep wondering if she's supposed to be vaguely famous as if we should know who darling Theodore is.

I think it’s referring a cringe worthy laundry advert. Can’t remember for which brand, had no idea who the woman was but got impression she’s vaguely famous.

She’s Vogue Williams married to Spencer Matthews.

Model/presenter and he was MIC but turns up all over the place.

Or even Vogue-ly famous...

I’ve got the smol tabs and they’ve put them in a child proof type box that you need giant hands to open. So I end up decanting them into another box. With no lid.

Whoever designed the kitchen door and drawer handles in my kitchen is an arsehole. Little edges on the handles that catch on any drapy clothes whilst you're busying around. I've ripped two tops. I intend to chase this wanker down for compensation. I am currently looking for new kitchen door handles that don't attack me when I'm doing chores.

🤣

When she says "I make lots of little noises when I'm caring for Theodore" I'm afraid I think of her farting.

We never really worried too much but DD knew not to touch them and they were dangerous, also she was never alone in the kitchen so that helped. A bit like some people don’t have baby gates, this was our area of lax.

She has an enormous chin.

Just put them in another box?

Laundry tabs piss me right off. Manufacturers could easily make them so that they're NOT attractive to children, and then there's no need for that shitty virtue signalling advert. But they don't, as they want the positives that come from how they look and they're happy to trade off a bit of a risk of child poisoning.

And obs they also want the massive markup that comes from having pre-portioned tabs rather then powder or liquid.

You and me both Back to School! I don't even have kids! I have had to try to tear the top off using my teeth! And don't get me started on any of those child -proof bottles etc.

Me too!

The catches on the boxes really annoy me too.

I was never able to open the blasted things, so always left the box with the lid up in the cupboard under the sink. No safety catch on it, because arthritis meant I wasn't able to open the doors with them fitted.

Strangely enough, I managed to supervise my kids so they were never in a position to go and start eating the cleaning materials.

Did every parent (and let's face it, they mean mothers, as men don't have shit adverts inflicted upon them about how important it is to not have shaving foam where children could get to it) stop being able to watch their children at some point in the last twenty years?

The way she said "when I'm caring for Theodore" I assumed she was a nanny. Had no clue who she was until I saw something on Twitter.

Theodore is the child of Vogue Williams who is on the ad for Fairy washing tablets

Yes that's exactly what we think of in this house, complete with sound effects too

Aaaaaah I knew she must be famous! Is she a model?

YABU to buy washing tabs - what a waste of money! Just buy normal laundry powder and a little measuring cup and you won’t have these problems.

@CayrolBaaaskin

I gave to confess i saw the advert with no idea who she was and thought that she was a victim of a childhood accident and was going to end with how it affected her life which would have been moving

Turns out just too much filler to the lips
