to ask DW to stop spending so long on MN ?

[mrbunhead]

well am I?

YABU. Go and make dinner or mow the lawn or do something else useful.

Probably! A couple of nights ago my DP came and told me there was a really good film on TV and I should come, but what he really meant was 'please get off MN'

Sorry - I meant to say, probably not!

YABU. But you must have guessed we would say that.

Hey JaynieB, whose side are you on?

Both. My poor DP is a bit of an MN widower.

Probably not...my DH calls himself a "Mumsnet widow" sometimes.

Tis addictive though!

hey I've mown the lawn, done the ironing, planted some plants and fed the child, what more could I do?

Ah...make that "Mumsnet widower" even

Couldn't possibly judge. More info needed please.

why mr bun head? have you a bun on your head?...

Only if you've got a better offer - like you're cooking dinner for her, you've booked a babysitter and are taking her out
if it's just so you can surf the net urself yadbu, lol

Depends how much time she spends on here and if the family is suffering because she prioritises MN above the kids or something.

Erm, you're not mine, are you? (just checking!!)

as in the scientist guy from brainiac, I can do science me!

It depends. Does she ever ask you to spend less time on your PS/Xbox/Blackberry/sports channel etc?

Are you perfect?

Please go and unball your dirty socks from the laundry basket and then have a good think.

YABU I hope you don't have any hobbies/interest or she may ask in return for you to give them up, are you prepared for that?
Instead of MN what do you want her to be doing?

Excellent!

Well you can always ask....

actually i did make her dinner although twas only beans on toast so not a great achievement!

But what do you want her to be doing instead?

I don't know really maybe a nice conversation?

but having been surrounded by you lovely ladies for the past five minutes I can see the attraction, it is a bit addictive.

I like him.

So the problem is you don't talk enough?
Do you BOTH make time for each other when the kids are in bed?
Have you told her how you feel?

I think if a man comes on and asks his wife to spend some one to one time, then their is a issue within the relationship.

I come on here, when its suitable for both of us, not just me, and I definitely would not be ignoring my husband for a Internet website.
