to be really PEEVED that dh has told our son that his bed is full of ghastly bugs!

[QuintessentialShadows]

How could he be so effing STUPID!

The poor boy was yelling and in hysterics for an hour. He has just gone to sleep now, in our bed.

did he mean the microscopic bugs?

yup - he meant bedbugs and dustmites....

ds has a touch of ocd, loves washing hands, is obsessing about bacteria.

oh dear
don't tell him about follicle mites in your eyelashes!
i would invent a special spray that gets rid of bugs, and you and ds can spray his bed with it tomorrow?

The bug spray is a good idea.
He insisted in sleeping in with us last night, and to change linen today. I tried telling him that those sort of bugs were only found in really OLD bed, and not in new clean bed where linen were changed frequently but it did not help.

I tell you, camping is interesting with him. (we go wild camping in a tent) The whole idea of not having a sink with running water, and that you dont really HAVE to wash your hands all the time, is tricky.

Long term, maybe a good cure?

My dp told our and mates children on holiday in winter that the snow plough used to clear the roads would get small children if they didn't hurry up.

Cue hysterical screaming from the two 3yo's every time we left the house and saw one.
