AIBU to divorce him over this?

My DH has just taught my 18 month old “baby shark”

AIBU to divorce him or should I skip straight to burying him under the patio?

(Lighthearted obviously!)

I wouldn't say LTB he should have to suffer for his own stupidity. My vote is for you going in a weeks holiday in the sun to relax while he gets to look after her and enjoy the fruits of his labour!

Just tell your child that only daddy knows the words to 'Baby Shark' so no, you can't sing it with him/her and will have to wait until daddy comes home.

If he supports football secretly teach him some (non rude) chats from his teams biggest rival.

It's when they teach the 2 yr old how to use the TV remote is when it's time to LTB.

And in the early hours / when daddy has just woken up. And they win a treat if they can sing it VERY LOUD.

Definitely a patio moment, that song is evil.

2 year old might pick the remote skills up on their own, ours did a bit older 😅. Then at 4 taught himself how to use the remote to access YouTube, including search, Netflix, change profiles, find shows etc. They can pick up tech scary fast.

Be careful that any revenge doesn't backfire! Years ago, in revenge for something or other my Chelsea supporting brother had done, I taught his toddler son to chant Chelsea are rubbish. I thought it was hilarious, but then he taught his son to call me Aunty Silly Billy. Said toddler is now grown up and has a son of his own and all through the years I have been Aunty Billy to not only him, but his younger sister and all their cousins too!

Pick a day to go out for a few hours leaving your DP to look after your child. Just as you walk out the door, hand your child a kazoo and skip happily away knowing you've got your own back. The kazoo can meet an unfortunate end or 'go missing' under the sofa when you get home.
