My husband started a new job this week which involved a training course. He has been out of work for 3 months.
On Sunday morning, I always have the morning to myself. Dh takes the boys out and I generally stay in bed until 10, get up, have a shower BY MYSELF and get dressed, all in one go without anybody asking me a question.
As DS2 is waking a lot in the night and I'm averaging about 5 hours a night during the week this is sacred.
Anyway, I rang my sister on Sunday morning to ask if she would be in in the afternoon as we were going to pop round. I told her DH needed to get his things together for his training course, iron his shirts etc and I would leave him in peace.
She was going out.
Anyway, apparently she went on at my niece for ages afterwards about how outrageous it was that I hadn't ironed DHs shirts for him that morning instead of laying in bed and how unfair I was to make him do it.
Now, I will add that I did actually iron his shirts in the end anyway as DH took them to his Dad's instead, leaving just me and Silent Witness. So it's not like I object in principle to helping him out.
I would also add that DH has NEVER got up to DS2 in the night.
DH didn't mind the prospect of ironing his own shirts although did ask me very nicely if I would do them for him.
Anyway, now I've written this all down it sounds incredibly petty but I'm going to press post anyway as I am disproportionately insensed!
