for peeing on you when changing his nappy is well out of order?

YANBU - that's not good! He can't help it at that age!

YANBU, definitely.

If he's in nappies, then more or less by definition he hasn't got the power to control it yet.

Please tell me this is a wind-up.

My ds wee'd in his own ear when he was tiny.

It's not nice to be wee'd on of course, and I may have been rather exasperated - but I wouldn't hit a child for it, of course.

DumbledoresGirl · 02/11/2007 11:08

18 months of changing a nappy and someone hasn't been weed on before or worked out a strategy for dealing with it?

idontcarewhoreadsthis · 02/11/2007 11:09

H did it.

well then, no offence, but he's a wanker.

DumbledoresGirl · 02/11/2007 11:10

I think you have been changing too many nappies and your dh needs a bit more practice of doing it.

OTOH, if he is going to smack a child for something the child has no control over, maybe not.

idontcarewhoreadsthis · 02/11/2007 11:13

Actually Dumbledores Girl he the main carer.

DumbledoresGirl · 02/11/2007 11:14

In that case

EHM · 02/11/2007 11:16

oh dear I hope you kicked her hubby in the nuts when dc wasn't looking. No seriously I wouldn't even cross my mind to smack my dd she is nearly 18 months, neither would dh. You need to have a long chat with your hubby.

hey there, of course it is not ok to hit an 18 month old BUT is it because your H is really stressed out and needs some support (and obviously to know that smacking is NOT OK). He maybe is rowing because he knows it is wrong and feels terrible.

I shouted terribly violently at dd this morning because I am so damn tired. Not Ok. And she got big apologies and cuddles but I would more appreciate my dh to be giving me a break and a cup of tea to allow me to calm down than having a massive go (without condoning of course but I know it is out of order). Do you see what I mean?
