Heh, it's impossible to argue with your wife when she tells you what you need to buy. And even when you point out that an item was never used, you're a heartless git who shouldn't even consider cost implications when it comes to the kids.

I thought we'd done it all, and was determined we'd manage without a bloody double buggy... Of course I was told otherwise, and we're now the shame faced owners of a P&T!

Hee hee my OH said similar when I said I wanted a tummy tub (aka baby bucket) for no.2. I'm still working on him re the Tripp Trapp newborn seat!

[hellosailor]

Oh I love this, it's so true!

I've definitely had to persuade Mr.Hellosailor into a few 'essentials' that were oh so not essential!

though there has been very little we've bought that we haven't found useful, even if it did seem overkill at the time.

Still cannot believe that these exist though - a step too far methinks!

[Otta]

Ha ha, I bet it sells well though!

[ClareC]

Omg! I never knew that existed!! On a cold winters day though ;-)

Allegedly they are a festival goer's must have... - I obviously

have not been to a festival recently :)

[mooncake]

haha, amazing thread...

I have been to festivals recently (well not so recently as am now 7 months pregnant), but I can definitely attest to the sheer brilliance of She Pees! (not *quite* the same as a Pee-Pee teepee)

Oh, that's hilarious! My mother made me some as a joke when no.1 was tiny, by cutting and gluing cotton wool pads. Can't believe people actually buy them... can you imagine their being pitched on Fragon's Den? "So one day my son peed in my eye, and I thought -"

Euw, that father gave me the creeps. Hope he doesn't have a daughter.
