Help - dh has bought me a rabbit (not the furry kind)...

[Eowyn]

& the point is, I really don't know I want one & even if I ever drink enough not to feel totally embarrassed about using it, dd's room is close enough for me to hear her breathing, so I will be worrying about her hearing the whole time.

So, he is now in a strop & saying shall he take it back, & I don't know if I'm overeacting & should try to improve our very rare sex life, at the end of the day I'm just so self-conscious anyway I can't see this helping, unless I was very alone, & that doesn't exactly benefit him.

Any advice ??? & if I'd known how to change my name I would have, there you go, no secrets me.

hee hee hee!
no advice, I can't begin to imagine how I'd react if my dh did the same for me. but I guess I'd pay attention to what he is trying to tell me.... ie that he thinks something needs spicing up... if the rabbit isn't something you can imagine using why don't you retaliate with something that you will use? even if it is some very silly sexy underwear or something?

sorry, still giggling. have you seen the sex in the city episode where charlotte becomes obsessed with her rabbit and the others have to confiscate it?!!

I can't believe you've posted this. I was going to start the exact same thread. Today a parcel of goodies has turned up that dh ordered for me. The names make me cringe, let alone the thought of using them. I've already downed a few drinks to try and dull the embarrasment factor. I'll be reading this thread with interest.

I have considered sleeping during the day and staying up on mumsnet all night, just to avoid the issue.

come on, howstrangeisthat - you can't leave it at that! A PARCEL of goodies? Come clean - what else was in the parcel apart from a rabbit? We are all dying to know...

Spooky, do you think we share a dh (he's all yours)...

I just don't know if I'm a total prude & should loosen up (maybe that's what it's for.. oops)
Hadn't seen that episode, but have heard said product is supposed to be great. I wouldn't mind having a go on my own I guess... have pointed out to dh that he may render himself totally obsolete , on one level trying to improve our sex life is a good thing, infrequent for last 3 years (fancy that, dd is 3)- but her being so close totally puts me off...

oh well, strangly reluctant to let it go straight back, but can't believe he spent so much money without consulting me a bit more..

Eowyn why restrict yourself to the bedroom if you're worried about the proximity of your daughters room.........Christen the sofa instead

it can't be much noisier than an electric toothbrush - or a hairdryer - she'll sleep through it!

Oh but it's the noise it might encourage you to make isn't it

There is no rabbit. There are some strange lotions with cringe worthy names. A fingering thing and some other ring thing that the man wears. God I can't believe I am saying all this. Thank god you don't know who I am.

yes, there is that.....!

wow, the mind boggles.
my dh sends me books from amazon... things like "How to identify British Birds".

Oh well!

my hubbie would be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to shy to go and buy this stuff... was your ordered on the net or did he go to a shop and select for himself?? and what was said when he gave it to you??...' here you go dear...lets get jiggy'?

LOL!!

you've obviously all gone off to play with your rabbits!!!

My parcel was ordered off the net. He had hinted that he might do something like this and the other day he asked me what I would like. I called him an old perv and he said he would choose for me.

The parcel arrived this morning and I had to wrestle it off the kids. Bloody nightmare.

Funnily enough pph, the last present dh got me was a bag of wild birdfood!

my pc wouldn't let me in for last half hour, now even madder at dh as he used it & it crashed.

Anyway, beat this, at work some girls mentioned that an Ann Summers shop had just opened in town so he immediately asked them where & told them he'd be there today, they now know exactly what he's bought me & I work there p/t. Really looking forward to monday.

Currently feeling like stabbing him with it, but if i can persuade him to take dd out sometime...

problem with noise is prob me rather than reality, I just haven't been good at sleeping/relaxing since she was born, we've been in seperate rooms (dh & me) most of the time for last couple years as i can't sleep.

Well, I've got one and it's quite nice really (how very british, nice?!!) but you know what's realyy scary? Had a few glasses of wine recently and went to find my "Barney", ('cos it's big and purple!) and there's no bl..dy batteries! How starnge, one thinks and then starts wondering just who has a) taken my batteries, b) what for and c) what the hell were they doing in my bedroom in the first place and is it bettter for the four or 13 year old to have been poking around?? The thoughts running through my head were "If it's the little one he's probably told all the kids that hand around my front door" and if it's the oldest one he's either so mortified/sniggering he'll not tell me anyway!! I must admit, I've been to a few of "those" parties and it amazes me how thin all the people in the brochures are and how little material/covering you get for your money! (I must be getting old,too!) I've got to the teddy bear nightie stage and the only begging I do these days is for a whole nights sleep, without snoring, kids waking up or having to go downstairs at 3am to wake dh (who then assumes I'm a burglar and tries to beat me up and snore at the same time) and shutting the patio doors which have been open since 10pm when I staggered up to bed!. (Hope there's no robbers reading this!).LOL

What happened to the batteries then? Did you ever find them? Barney?!!! Bloody hell!!

I'll have it!

Eowyn, how about a couple of drinks to make you less uncomfortable? Your DD is very unlikely to wake up and these things really don't sound like road drills. Go for it

Well it's still here & still unwrapped, completely fell out last night, however, he says he'll take dd out at the weekend so...
of course that is when i do the hoovering so guess the house will get even messier, just hope i don't get confused.

Thanks for advice everyone, i think... pity it isn't something you can try & take back.
Lou, if we have a get together, you want me to produce it in the pub as an ice breaker??? ha.

Me and all my mates have a rampant rabbit. I've NEVER heard any complaints yet.

Must say, I always enjoy it more when I'm on my own. And dh does kinda feel redundant now. That rabbit does things that dh just can not compete with.

OK I may be living in the dark ages but I have never heard of a rabbit (apart from the furry variety) Is this just a new name for a dildo or wot? And where did it come from (so to speak)

SamboM - a rampant rabbit is a state of the art vibrator, with a 'clit' tickler (sorry - I HATE that word!), and little balls things which kind of pulse inside. Mine came from Ann Summers.
