He Did What!? Wednesday - My Life In Mono

Not So Common Sense - Guest post by My Life In Mono

My Husband, M is off for 10 days and I thought I would catch up with some girlfriends without the Lil Tiger. So today I caught up with a bunch of girlfriends for coffee.

Before leaving the house, I expressed a bottle of breast milk for him to feed the Lil' Tiger if she gets hungry while I was out. I wrote down instructions on how to heat it up:

  1. Boil water
  2. Pour hot water in a cup
  3. Put bottle in water for 2 minutes or until milk is warm
So off I went for 2 hours with my girlfriends. When I got home, I asked M if everything was ok and did the Lil' Tiger need the bottle and he said yes and all was good. Then I went into the kitchen to get a glass of water, I saw the stock pot out filled with water and the empty baby bottle on the side. Curious, I asked M why the stock pot is out.

"I used it to heat up the bottle," he said.

"What do you mean you used it to heat up the bottle?" I asked

"Well you said boil water and put the bottle in the hot water until the milk is warm" he continued.

"Ermm....I assumed that you would boil a kettle of water and pour it into a cup and put the bottle in there. Not boil a put of water and stick the bottle in there. I showed you once before and how did you manage to fish it out?" I said nearly burst out laughing.

"I used the barbecue thongs. No wonder instruction no 2 didn't make any sense at that time".

At this point, I was laughing. I guess it made sense to him to boil water in a stock pot because I have been sterilising the Lil' Tiger's bottle in boiling water in a stock pot.

No one has sent me a She Did What yet and I'll feel awful after ranting on about sexism yesterday if I can't show both sides...

  3. he he! somehow that all made sense to him. just highlights how different our thought processes are. i often watch my hubby do something and wonder why he would choose to do it that way when another way would have been much simpler...*sigh*

  5. I'm always amazed at how men seem to lose their ability to think logically when doing anything involving the care of babies. Give my husband an electrical or computer problem & he's in his element. Ask him to tend to a basic need of a child (like remembering to feed them while I'm out) and he's completely lost!!

  9. Hehe!! How would they survive without us, hey? This is hilarious, Feli. I had a similar experience with my hubby in the early days of Ella. Remember, men don't read manuals!!! :)

  10. Haha, when my youngest was a baby her Dad would forget to warm the milk. Luckily, she grew to like it cold! (And we live in Qld so it was kind of a treat!)
