I can’t believe I’m asking this!

I asked my partner for some more ideas for stocking fillers for our 8 & 9 year olds. He mentioned new toothbrushes. I said oh actually I was thinking of getting them electric ones so we just change the heads. He said no and that he has stabbed hhimselfin the face by his eye when the head has came off the toothbrush of his electric one. I was bewildered and said how on earth does that even happen?! He’s the processed to say I’m argumentative and if I buy the kids one and they stab themselves in the eye when the head comes off it’s all my fault. In my 36 years of life and using one. That has never happened. Am I right in thinking WTF?!

Weirdly electric toothbrushes give me mouth ulcers. So if you buy them and your children complain don't assume it's imaginary 😁.

I’ve never stabbed myself or anyone else with a toothbrush, except for that incident when I was in a Bolivian prison, and that couldn’t be helped really.

He can be like this quite often. I get called that on a regular basis. I only have ever called it him in a retaliation once. I hate the word. I’m trying to make steps to leave but that’s obviously another story! But honestly you have all have me a proper good laugh so I’m feeling better!! Apart from the amount of my inhaler I’ve had to take from laughing so hard with an awful chest infection 🤣🤦‍♀️. But still laughter is good medicine 🥰

Free yourself of your boyfriend, as the best stocking filler ever.
Your kids will thrive not having some male in their home who thinks women are 'cunts'.

Aw I’ve just read all your updates. So sorry for laughing. It’s not funny now. He’s a tool. I’d buy the electric toothbrush, wait til he’s asleep then get the toothbrush and switch it on right by his face. It will be first thing he sees when he wakes up. That will teach him to stop being abusive. Rise above it. Don’t let him ruin Christmas. Maybe in new year have a think about leaving him. Idiot. Xxx

He’s the idiot not you sorry if that wasn’t made clear in my post

I hope your chest infection clears up soon OP so you can enjoy Christmas with your DC. (Your foul-mouthed "D"P, on the other hand, can go to hell in a hand cart!) Keep smiling - especially when you buy those electric toothbrushes! 😘 Sending you a BIG virtual hug! 🤗

How was the toothbrush anywhere near his eye? Has he misunderstood what “eye teeth” are? 🤣

Thankyou my love! The toothbrushes are arriving tomorrow!! Might ram them up his arse whilst he sleeps 😂 thank you for your kind words. Have a lovely Xmas 🎄

I would buy the toothbrushes and laminate instructions sheets with an illustration of a toothbrush in the eye with big red cross through it, and an illustration of a toothbrush in the mouth with big green tick.

And I would give the same gift to your husband.

But I am a middle aged single woman sick of Menrons, plus I am a piss taking bitch.

😂

But wait, hold on a mo, for AI hath spoken... (See pic) 🪥🦷🔪

What, i never stabbed myself in the eye with any toothbrus.

Or was he an innocent victim of a toothbrush with aspirations to be a nerf gun when it grows up?!

OP - Suggest as alternative buying your kids Nerf guns and a year's supply of toothpaste, and having them brush their teeth by pasting the end of the darts and firing them into each other's mouths every morning. Much safer and more fun.

I’ve stabbed my self in my cheek plenty of times! But not my eye luckily 😁

Hilarious! Wrap them with safety goggles.

I’m a dentist and have heard a lot of excuses for poor oral hygiene but this is a first!😂

He DEFINITELY needs an electric toothbrush for Christmas even if you don't get them for the kids.

Whats wrong with that. We wrap allsorts up for the kids they just love opening presents. Its obviously not a main present.

just out of interest, can he manage cutlery or is that a no go too?

Hahaha, tell him he's being a knobhead 😂

Is he serious? Did he want you to ask if he was ok or something? What toothbrush does he use now?! Is he ok opening the cardboard packets manual toothbrushes come in?! Might get a papercut 😂

I've put those cheap light up toothbrushes in my kids stockings when they were about three or four, they're great for encouraging brushing and fill it up a bit more...

If your husband's serious he's hilarious 😂

We've all had electric toothbrushes for years and years. We've all managed not to stab ourselves in the eyes with them.

He's being a total pillock.🤣🤣 Get your kids the toothbrushes.

OP please make sure you’ve locked away the dental floss in case he garrottes himself with it.
