DH has gone to bed.
He was up most of last night with DS2 who has had D&V and had the kids all day today while i was at work.

But i've got conjunctivitis and am rubbish at putting eye drops in myself.

Can i wake him up when i go to bed to ask him to do my eyedrops?

Do it yourself. Don't be pathetic

Lubyloo · 01/04/2009 20:52

No - don't wake him up. It sounds like he definitely deserves an early night. Put them in yourself!

nevergoogledragonbutter · 01/04/2009 20:53

pull my bottom lid down to form a pocket.

er, yuck!

i am being pathetic i know, but conjunctivitis makes me feel pathetic.

Just look at the ceiling, focus on a cobweb or something (don't look at the bottle), and squirt wildly. Some will go in.

pinkspottywellies · 01/04/2009 21:02

I've never tried it but after cataracts op dh's nan was told to rest the bottle on the bridge of your nose to keep it steady and drop from there. Good luck. Wimp

wannaBe · 01/04/2009 21:02

do it yourself.

I have to put drops in my eyes permanently twice a day and I don't let anyone else near my eyes.

And I can't see.

if I can do it, you can.

nevergoogledragonbutter · 01/04/2009 21:10

ow.
my eye is itchy but i have to wait at least another hour before i can have more drops.

yab such a sissy. Do it yourself

Sidge · 01/04/2009 21:14

YABU. They're your eyes, put your drops in yourself.

Wash your hands, close the eye, rest the bottle on the bridge of your nose and put one drop into the corner of your eye near your nose. Open the eye slowly and tilt your head so the drops run across the lower eye, then blink a few times.

This works for children too.

nevergoogledragonbutter · 01/04/2009 21:56

hee hee,
he's woken up.
problem solved.

How selfish are you?

Wezz · 01/04/2009 22:03

why can't you put them in yourself?

yabu

DesperateHousewifeToo · 01/04/2009 22:09

Have you been stomping creeping around the bedroom whispering loudly ''are you awake?''

Bad, bad Dragonbutter

morningpaper · 01/04/2009 22:13

are you piglet?

MAN UP and put your own drops in your big WUSS

HTH

2rebecca · 01/04/2009 23:24

It's much easier and less painful to put them in yourself. You just look up, pull the lower lid down and put them in the gap between your lower lid and eye. I would be highly hacked off if my husband woke me up for this. Why should women get away with being useless?

nevergoogledragonbutter · 02/04/2009 17:51

i didn't wake him up.
the neighbours did.
he came downstairs, had a bowl of cereal, and i told him that the mumsnet concensus said i should put my own eye drops in, but he did them.
why? probably because he loves me.
i do his and the kids when they need eye drops.
tis how we roll in the db household.
