son-in-law

Eminently so.

But I suppose you'd better not.

Sending a virtual slap!

Some men are idiots! Would he prefer her to go into hospital for some bed rest? If I was her, I would be packing my hospital bag right now!

ninathenana I think it would be totally unreasonable to slap him. A well aimed application of footwear to the testicles would be far more appropriate.

And a good kick where it'll hurt the most! (I've just sent him a virtual one of those)!

Green I thought that's what I said!

Why did he?

The poor girl needs all the rest she can get - what a pity this selfish moron can't get pregnant - that'd teach him. I hope they keep her in hospital as long as possible after the C section. I remember when I had a threatened miscarriage during my first pregnancy, my (now ex) husband was getting pretty resentful at my being kept in hospital for a week. Wish I'd read the signs then!

We crossed over by less than a minute, phoenix! Methinks he needs to do a bit of growing up - very fast!

What is his problem? Did the poor diddums have to do something for himself for once? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

green I agree with you! Not only grow up, but understand a bit more.

After you've all given Nina's SiL a good seeing-to, may I invite you to turn your attention to mine? The two of them have so much in common they deserve to share the experience!!

I once told my two teenagers [at the time] that one day we women would freeze the bits of men we needed and chuck away the rest .....

I'dlike to watch Nanban

The prat [disgusted]emoticon.

Awwww, nanban, I have very nice, considerate and well adjusted sons - don't stigmatise all males!

Four days after my waters broke, I was in great pain, still at home, and my ex-husband infuriated my mother and sister by saying, as he practised knocking a golf ball into a glass in the living room ' Trouble with X,she panics'. I am the least panicky person in the world - I was just in agony.
When it came to having a vasectomy, he was too afraid and instead was happy for me to be sterilised. I ended up feeling nothing but contempt for him. When I told him I wanted a separation, he took to sitting outside the girls' school, drunk, embarrassing them and saying he was going to commit suicide.

That resonates with me,*Greatnan*. My ex had made an appointment for a vasectomy, but then claimed that he had heard that this procedure shortened the lifespan - of primates! So decided to cancel his appointment. He made no objection to my having the far more intrusive sterilisation. This was at the time when Michael Parkinson was making much of having had the snip. He appears to be still quite hale and hearty, I think!

Haha! My ex-husband's vasectomy was booked to be done at our local surgery. I was going with him whilst in-laws looked after the children. We picked them up from school and when we got outside our house, we stopped to speak to neighbours. After a few minutes, I said to the children 'come on, let's go in as grandma will be here in a few minutes.' My husband then announced, half an hour before his appointment 'oh, they're not coming now.' He'd called it off the week before and decided not to tell me till the very last moment. Another nail in the coffin of our marriage.

Obviously, you know him best ninathenana but is he scared about how things are going to be after the baby is born and a sign of weakness on his partner's part is adding to it? Or is he really just an idiot?

Have only just caught up with your replies as guess what......................DD was admitted to hops for rest !!!

I've been at hers with DGS1 since Sunday. They have now let her out with strict instructions to rest.

phoenix you made me LOL just what I need at moment

nina just what was needed by the sound of it - has he moderated his daft views now? x

Carol
I did discuss it with him, he made some excuse and said DD was exaggerating!!

He's useless at showing/discussing his feelings. But I do think he's had a wakeup call
