Jean in Newcastle Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 An ITT what do you think? Dd babysat yesterday. She had called me to come pick her up. I was obviously outside waiting in my car. The dad came home and proceeded to take a shower because he didn't want to deal with a fussy baby while he had to shower. Just wonder what you all think.

Was he covered in animal guts or soot from chimney sweeping? 'Cause otherwise a shower can wait. Maybe he is just clueless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dad came home and proceeded to take a shower because he didn't want to deal with a fussy baby while he had to shower. Just wonder what you all think. (Not a big thing.) He took a shower while a teenage girl was in the house and his wife was not there? Weird. I'd have been uncomfortable with that. Even covered in animal guts. Mothers take showers all the time with crying babies. I may not have thrown a fit or anything, but I'd not be comfortable with it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I think the shower could have waited. Almost done with the day's schoolwork. Man, I'm tired. Looking forward to pizza and a movie tonight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I think it's not appropriate, but more likely an indication that the guy is an idiot rather than anything else. Some men are more terrified of a crying baby than anything else they can imagine. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, a fussy baby, who's not wet or hungry, can hang out in the crib a few minutes and fuss while dad takes a shower. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yeah, I was uncomfortable. They are a young couple and I think that is a factor. Dd is addition to their normal nanny so they don't do a huge amount of childcare (no judgement - just a statement). I was also a bit ticked because I had to wait 20 minutes. Dd had no problem with it but then she was paid for the time that included showering. PS - as far as I know, no animal guts or soot was involved. I don't know if it is the kind of thing that should be addressed or just ignored. (He's never been inappropriate with dd) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Dh would not have taken a shower with a teen babysitter in the house. Neither of us would have inconvenienced a waiting mother in car in driveway. I don't think his motives were sinister but that he has not figured out what to do with his baby and would rather be weird and inconvenience people than figure that out. FWIW, dh was not good with our kids as babies or even as toddlers. I mostly dealt. Edited May 22, 2016 by texasmama 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Ivy Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 My grandmother's name was Eleanore, and my niece is named after her. She goes by Ellie. It's not often you see Eleanore with an e at the end. :) My sister refuses to call her Ellie, probably because her MIL insisted she name the baby Eleanore Mae, so she (MIL) could call her Ellie Mae. My sister can't stand her MIL, so that was a negative. My mom tried to convince her to nickname her Nellie. All I can think of is Nellie Olson. :huh: So, sis opted for Elle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I don't know if it is the kind of thing that should be addressed or just ignored. (He's never been inappropriate with dd) Maybe a conversation with your dd is in order. Find out how she felt about it, and give her ways to voice her opposition if it happens again. Make sure she knows she can always put the "blame" on you if need be. That sort of thing. Sometimes it is not about what happens, but about how it looks, KWIM? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
