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?

I don’t have Vogue issues. Just kid issues.

I couldn’t open a pot of tablets of dog medicine. When he gets a new pot, it takes a good 5 minutes of pushing and twisting for me to get it open. Red raw by the end of it.

Also, not a child lock thing but twist off beer caps are not a the easy, cool move you see in the movies. DH bought me a pack of bud as a novelty and they hurt! I just use the bottle as normal on them.

We all survived childhood without drinking bleach or eating a family size pack of Surf.

Because our parents weren't dimwits and kept that stuff out of reach of children. No need for the "click-clack" stupidity.

File that advert in the same category as "have you ever worried about BACTERIA on your carpet" and "I didn't know Oral B did a toothpaste" - for people incredibly hard of thinking.

She’s Vogue Williams married to Spencer Matthews. who? Both of them

Fucking annoying boxes - have stopped buying them. How many times have I had an armful of washing, opened the cupboard with a view to grabbing a washing tablet/capsule whatever and been infuriated because I’ve had to put the washing down and wrestle with one of those fucking irritating boxes?!!! I’ve had 2 kids and have managed to never had a child help themselves to a handful of tabs. Just organise your life so your kids can’t get at the bloody things don’t make it so everyone in the entire population has to struggle with the packaging.

Sorry Theodore for the bad language!

Oh and on the subject of packaging. Whoever designed those blister packs for the Calpol Melt tablets needs shooting. You have to press so hard to pop them out that they disintegrate into a powdery mess. Only had them as an emergency back up when out and about but ended up chucking the whole pack.

Her husband is the brother of Pippa Middleton’s husband.

Wow, so she's that important is she? She is on the list of people of whom I am proud never to have heard! It's a very long list too I'm glad to say.

I like Vogue but the ad is bloody irritating.

Yes, I learnt on MN that is Danny Dyer's daughter, Dani Dyers.

She is saying "perf with Surf", meaning perfect with Surfect.

I am going to go against the grain and say I think Vogue is hilarious.

She has made Spencer Matthews likeable and that was no mean feat.

If you haven't seen their reality show it is worth a watch just to see her roll her eyes at Spencer and have his balls in the palm of her hand at every step.

To be fair - they clearly adore each other but she won't take any crap and I respect her for that.

I’m Irish and about the same age as Vogue. And I’m just not buying that that’s her real name. No way in hell did a priest baptise a child ‘Vogue’ in 80s Ireland. I don’t care what she says.

I bought some of those CR2032 button batteries, and oh my goodness - trying to extricate them from their packaging was torture! I am surprised I didn’t cause myself a serious injury, as I wrestled with scissors and a sharp knife, and then, to top it off, stickers on the actual batteries which had to be removed. I am pretty able-bodied, with good eyesight. I cannot imagine the frustration experienced by people with limited vision or arthritis, for example, in trying to open the packs.
Frankly, I do not understand why EVERYONE has to suffer ‘child-proof’ packaging in order to protect feckless parents who can’t be bothered to keep such stuff away from their offspring

The answer was explained in the exact same post you got this from

When scissors come in pancaking they have to be cut out of!

Sorry Theodore for the bad language!

😂

When I buy a new box of washing tabs I can't open the childproof locks and hack at the lid with a carving knife to get it open. [embarrassed] Once the lid is off it stays off - no children to worry about.

I like those laundry adverts...

"Keep away from children"

Jolly good advice if you ask me.

@Fossiliy I always open these by slitting the flat foil side with my thumbnail.

DS can't open them for the same reason you can't, so he just resignedly hands me the pack to liberate one for him. My nails are usually trimmed shortish (and his are bitten well back) but my thumbnails are like a Swiss Army Knife around the house.

I had no idea who the people in the advert were, I assumed it was an American advert originally. I haven't taken any more notice of it as ads with people saying "This is what I do" and implying that you should too are too annoying and I just get stubborn and flatly refuse. OK, I may be inferring something that isn't there but getting annoyed at adverts is one of my hobbies, so meh.

I am not caring for Theodore either. So there. Why doesn't she leave them in her utility room (I bet she has one) and lock the door?

@Tistheseason17 Totally agree. I loved the reality show - they have such good chemistry/banter and both are pretty funny. He was such an arse in MIC, much more likeable now. They started a weekly podcast recently, it's pretty good.

@Wishimaywishimight ooh, might look into the podcast! I was hoping they'd get picked up for another show. There were talks she was getting picked for Celebrity Juice to replace boring Holly Willoughby - fingers crossed!

Or even Vogue-ly famous...

And the winner of MN for this week is....

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

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

How immature. I can't imagine any other house where that happens when the advert comes on. Except ours. Every single time. I personally make sure that it does

Also, there must be other little noises as well - less than positive ones - when caring for a baby. You never make them in front of the baby and it's obviously not their fault, but when they've been fed, burped, changed, cuddled and played with for two hours and you put them down to take two minutes to go for a desperately-needed wee, and the demanding bawling starts up again instantly.... you do indeed make sounds, but not quite the happy little chuckly ones....

Apparently it is her real name.

Skip to a couple of paragraphs or so from the end, save trawling through the whole article (I've wasted 5 mins of my life so you don't have to).
