Is there a check box bingo card of things that DHs have to say to Qualify for fully fledged Twunt-ness....

If so, can I shout BINGO on this one...

I brought up with my DH the other day that he keeps ons tarting things and not finishing them - ir he gets a bee in his bonnett about something I've not had time to do, does half of it and then leaves it for me, when I have already had problems finding time to do it. For example, he had a massive tantrum the other week about the girls' toys, threatened/promise to sort them and tidy them - then what he did was put them in boxes and leave them in the dining area....yeah, I could have done that, what I haven't had time to do is sort them...now I HAVE to do it ebcause I can't move in the room. Or we have baby bottles that we aren't using at the moment, they were happily stored in teh cupboard as we aren't using them. While I was out he decided to take them all out of the cupboard - (because "we aren't using them") asnd left them on the work surface...they were FINE in the cupboard, I then had to mvoe them all before I could cook...

Anyway, this escalated into an argument which ended up with the "bingo" phrase - "Don't bother saying you haven't had any help for the last 18 months (my contention as to why things haven't been done as wella s I'd like) - you haven't done anything fo4r the last 6 years...".

I gave up work 6 years ago to ahve DD1. Since then I've been a ft SAHM to our 3 children - aged 6, 3 and 12 weeks. In the last 4 years I've managed to hold it all together through his severe MH issues. I've also looked after the girls alone for periods when he was working abroad.

But now, because he is stressed at work, I'm accused of sitting around doing nothing for 6 years......

So, twunt or not...

(things have calmed down since, he is no logner sulking with me but of course I've had no apology. I have also offered to get an evening supermarket job and he said No to that suggestion)
