Using a pacifier is lazy...

eokorie

when dh does it. It is his first response to her crying. He just lays on the couch and keeps trying to make her take it, no matter how many times she spits it out and keeps crying. I have to come and suggest that she may be hungry, wet, or want to get off the couch. Damn Neanderthal.

LOL i was pictureing this BIG cave man sprawled on the couch shoving a pacifier in a babys mouth that clearly has a dirty diaper...

LOL. My DH does this too - while watching tv or on his computer. He also bounces DS and says shhhhhh, but isn't paying any attention to him.

2 things I am LMAO about this post:

1: "Damn neanderthanl"

2: that your ticker is out of control. lol

My Dh's first response to fussing is "I think he's hungry", aka, "I think this is a problem only you can solve, mommy". So annoying.

That's my DH too, he doesn't seem to realize that the cry means something.

Yeah, DH is a little paci crazed too.  He tries to give it to her ever time he puts her down for bed or a nap.  Then he gets frustrated when 15 mins later she spits it out and starts crying because she lost it.  If we put her to sleep without it, she's just fine!!

Huge Ditto.  It's very irritating!! 

I will also catch DH sitting on the couch w/ him crying/fussing and doing the same thing over and over again.... I always feel bad telling him what to do, but I want to be like "okay, get up and try something else, that's clearly not working to make him feel better!"

Ugh.  Yes.  He's so desperate for her to love taking a paci, he always pops it in then expects me to go put it back in for her when she drops it.  I told him to let her use it when she's awake and she'll learn to to like it just as well!

My DH, too.  And he wonders why DS likes me better.  I just pay attention to him.

Yep, my DH does this too...so annoying.

My DH does just the opposite. He will pop a bottle in LO's mouth at the first sign of a whine, and this is bad for a few reasons. #1- sometimes he just wants to suck, #2- it sometimes makes him eat even if he's not hungry so it gives him a stomach ache (and guess who's left taking care of said stomach ache?!) and #3- DS is mostly breast fed, so I'll be ready to BF and walk into the room and see this bottle in his mouth and be like, "Ok, I'll just let the girls bust open, no problem"

 Ugh, DH is so clueless.

Amen Sister.....sounds EXACTLY like my DH
