my kids have been brushing their teeth with butt cream

[Deleted]

That's what DH just told me when I handed him the butt cream tube when he was changing DS2.

DH: what? That's butt rash cream?? I've been using it as toothpaste for them.

Related, now I know why DS2 has had the runs.


ETA: for reference the tubes are similar to these.

DH is not a details guy but this kind of tops it. I have no idea why, or even if the kids, went along with it. He does most of the night routine.

BTW, no fluoride in water supply here so we use adult toothpaste on the kids per dentist.

OMG

[minzy]

Oh no!  Lol.

[lilac05]

OMG! LOL!

[zeewifeandmama]

OMG!

[cinco]

OMG. Lol.

[ilikedonuts]

Omg!

[Deleted]

OMG I don't know what to say. How did he not notice?

[gogadgetgo]

I'm sorry. I'm laughing but i'm really sorry.

[Deleted]

OMG, he CANNOT be serious. Can he not READ?!

[cincodemayo]

barf!

[brooklyn]

Omg!

[Ashley&Scott]

Not going to lie, I would be pissed.

[dulcemariamar]

How many days has it been going on for ?

Poor kid but it is kinda funny

[AmyRI]

I would also be pissed...

The bright side is that your kids are going to want to brush their teeth all the time when they realize what toothpaste is supposed to taste like.

And your kids were okay with it and not freaking out about the taste and I imagine the feel of it. How did he first of all not read and second of all not notice that it just smeared around rather than dissolving?

[MNH2013]

OMG I just laughed so loud at work!

[redpenmama]

HAHA! It is even more hilarious because it was your H's fault.

My H would totally make the same ridiculous mistake.

[bunnymendelbaum]

How did he not notice the smell difference?!?

[aspentosh]

I laughed for a split second, but then become irrationally pissed. Not cool, dude!

[dcn]

How is that even possible?? I am dying.

[spk926]

OMG! I would never let DH live that one down!

[mpc]

As I clicked I was thinking please let this be a joke!

OMG.

[mandapanda18]

OMG, that is so funny! You just made my day! I am SO SORRY for your LO's though!

The tubes do look similar.

But yes, I don't understand how he didn't notice smell, texture, no foaming.

He's really not great with household and personal details in general so while I am super irritated, I am not actually that surprised. I did keep wondering why the cream tube was getting moved around so much. DS2 didn't have butt rash the last two days but it kept moving. Today the rash appeared - thanks to a few days of Sudocrem as toothpaste - and thus I learned why it was moving. And why DS2 has runny poos

For reference the tubes are similar to these:

[redheadbaker]

OMG! LOL

[CrazyLucky]

This made me LOL in the office. I can sort of see myself doing that if it was in the bathroom where the toothpaste usually is. But it's not. The butt paste stays with the diapers and the toothpaste stays with the toothbrushes. Thanks for the laugh.

[pinotgrig]

Lolol and I'm sorry.

What did you say?? How did you figure it out?

[Deleted]

pinotgrig I handed him the tube when he was changing DS2s diaper he said he'd been using that as toothpaste for the kids.

I didn't say anything for a few minutes. We were both in shock. Google tells us the kids should be fine.

The younger one has had the runs but the five year old seems okay poop wise.

I'm actually proud of myself that I kept my cool and didn't flip out on him. Obviously it was a terrible mistake. Also, I'm in early labor (I think) with out third so I'm trying to stay calms. Serenity now.

OMG.  LOL, that is something my DH would pull, but my kids would notice right away. Didn't anyone notice it was just getting all gummed up in their mouths?  I can't imagine it would react well with water.
