to think that DH is well out of order?

[EndangeredSpecies]

"D"H doesn't seem to think so and in response to DD's question "why does my tummy button stick out?" he replied "It should be in. It's ugly". This is about the fourth or fifth time the subject has come up and each time he makes a massive issue out of it, in front of the children.

Both DCs have outies and I have never given it a second thought. AIBU to think this is insensitive twattishness and wonder why I married him?? He has behaved like a total arse all day, also.

No I can't really leave him over it can I. I'm hoping it's just an acute attack of twat-itis that's been brought on by the heat. This weekend the sum total of his parenting contribution has been: an hour with them in the swimming pool, the outie comment, then "why can't you go and play in your room instead of torturing me" (when they asked to watch tv), followed by disappearing to the computer for the past three hours leaving me to do the whole teatime/bedtime routine, when he knows I have to work this evening.

Willow, you can have him. Great computer skills but very shaky on interpersonal relationships.

Heave ho. Seriously. You sleep with that tosser? Tell DC daddy is just jealous of their lovely "outties"

I had a friend as a kid whose parents took him for surgery to convert his outie to an innie... I don't know if there was actually some problem with it but the kid just said it was because he didn't like it. Even then I thought it was strange and wrong of the parents.

He was being a knob..I swear!..you need to sit him down and tell him how you feel ES

my DD2 had an outie..now its an innie..things change when they grow

Have told him MCP. Four times, we've had the conversation. All this comes after I drew up a "summer holiday survival plan" and talked to him about how we could address the problems we had this time last year...

Oooh, I don't want him ES - got enough problems with my own twattish fucking knobhead wanker DH!

I have a belly button phobia so I stand by the outie statement though.

Am due to give birth any day - am dreading the whole falling off umbilical cord and clip thing

Bell-end.

Tell your DD that her belly button is where she and you were joined up when she was in your tummy, before she was born, and that that means that it's beautiful, and that Dad's just being silly because he's jealous. And if DD is young enough for face paint, do a big smiley face on her tummy, using her belly button as the nose.

And then spray Deep Heat on your DH's pants.

Some people have wierd phobias about tummy buttons
he probably needs counselling of some sort

Fair enough Willow, mine is even worse with newborns than with 6 year olds. Good luck with the birth btw...

Perhaps he also has a belly button phobia. Or perhaps he's just a twat.

perhaps he's a twat with a belly button phobia...
