To buy an Air Purifier for DS?

[OTTMummA]

Our ds is being treated for asthma for the last few months.
There is not history of asthma on my side, only lots on DH's side.
However i seem to be the only one taking this seriously, I would like to get a AP for our DS's room as we live in an older style house and DH doesn't want to have floor boards anywhere, ( dispite me hating carpets etc ) DS's room doesn't IMO get dusty and needs airing everyday etc, DH doesn't get this.

I AM going to buy one either way, especially as im now working i feel like i don't have to ask dh for what i feel is an item DS needs.

All weekend he's been going on about how much this ' contraption ' is going to cost etc, and that he bets it won't make a difference etc.
He is really starting to piss me off.
I ve tried explaining what it does and why its needed etc, ( we can more than afford one ) but all im getting is resentment and begruding remarks about how much it costs.

I might need to buy 2 as the first might go over his head.

does get dusty

An air purifier will make little difference if the room is carpeted. It would be much better to replace the carpets with hard flooring such as laminate if the boards are not in a good condition.

You've just reminded me that we had one in dd's room until we moved when she was 6! But I had forgotten - just get one, keeps the pollen down anyway.

he's going away in october for a week, me and DS will be here alone so i think DS will be having a stomach bug that week and will inevitably vomit over all the carpet, therefore meaning it will have to be removed asap, and he's so tight he won't want to replace it.

sounds like a plan OTT

I take it your DH doesn't have asthma himself then?

Might he be more convinced by the Asthma UK website? they have some advice on keeping dust down.

I know my DH is generally more convinced by an official-sounding website than he is by me. Hmmph.

You would think he didn't have asthma THOF, but nope, he still uses the blue inhaler for when we visit people with cats!

Yet he won't do anything about carpets etc, thats why im pissed off really, i thought he would understand, but he has dumfounded me on the depths of his thickness about this, truely depressing tbh.
