To think DH should turn the radio off when looking after DC

and not because he doesn't communicate with them, but because DS1's language is becoming and I'm certain it's because the radio on constantly and he's picking up song lyrics! Today he was chanting 'fight fight fight' and yesterday it 'oh my god' - I don't like either from the mouth of a 4 year old but infinitely better than 'my hump my hump my hump'

So, AIBU to expect DH to turn the radio off when he's looking after DC or put something a bit more child friendly on than Radio 1! ? He's recently become a SAHD so they do spend a lot of time together.

The only thing I will say is - how would you have felt if your DH asked you to change what you did while looking after your DS (assuming you were a SAHM at some point)?

I don't think you would be unreasonable to suggest R2 instead, or CD's rather than the Radio, but hmm.. I don't know. [sits on fence]

But your ds is old enough to be learning about appropriate language - this is a very good place to start!

why have you posted multiple threads about this ?

I will say it again

you are a nutter

We have Radio 5 on in our house and ds has yet to develop an interest in football so I think YABVU!
