DH is 39 and just bought himself an Xbox. Before he bought it he asked me what I thought and I explained that I hated them and I didn't want one in the house. So he went and bought one.
He's in the lounge now leaving me to put our 1 year old DS to bed, clean up the mess from supper, empty dishwasher, do a million and one other useful things around the house (and a little bit of MN) before bedtime.
I hate the Xbox and the fact it symbolises him taking me for granted and making me miserable. I also hate the way that since we've got it there is always a small part of his brain going 'I wish I was playing on my xbox'. He's grumpy, miserable, snappy and aggressive and generally vile to live with - and if I challenge him about it I get a lecture about how I should 'lighten-up' and let him have fun. I have no problem with him having fun - but I do mind if he shirks his responsibilities leaving them all for me to do - so that I can't have fun too (not that I'd ever go near his Xbox).

AIBU to want to walk into the lounge with a hammer and smash up DH's Xbox
