To find this odd and, actually, a bit annoying

[Fireyfieryfiery]

Up until recently, I have done 100% childcare.

A few things have happened which have meant I've asked my DH to do bedtime when he gets home. Around 50:50.

Tonight, the kids are messing around it is (in the new rules) his turn. He is not happy. He turns the tv off as he walks out. So, if he cant watch tv no one can?

That's odd, isn't it ? I won't switch it on again.... I just find it odd, and not something I would ever dream of doing to him (and I was sitting in the room when he walked out and switched the tv off)

A bit like a petulant child really....

[mamamibbo]

it was a man strop, just turn it back on an ignore him

[PhyllisDoris]

Queer folk, men.

[SantasStrapOn]

Two things I can't stand: Martyrdom and sulking.

Just turn the tv back on, and keep possession of the controls.

[SugaricePlumFairy]

That's arsey from him.

Put the telly back on, make a cuppa and read a mag.

[SantasStrapOn]

Shit, that reads wrong.

I meant him being the sulky martyr, not you. Just in case you misread.

[OldLadyKnowsNothing]

I wish dh would switch the telly off when he leaves the room. I have sat through far too many episodes of Pointless blaring away in the background.

But I'm not the OP, obv.

Were you watching it?

[lizziebach]

At least yours knows how to turn the TV off, mine leaves it on if he is the last one out of the room and has no intention of going back in there for awhile.

Grab a glass of wine, put your feet up and ignore his man strop. When he comes back in thank him nicely for turning the TV off in a "oh you are so thoughtful to notice how tired I was and to turn the TV off to give me some peace and quiet" kind of way.At least that way his strop hasn't worked

[Fireyfieryfiery]

Petulant child. Utterly

I won't put it back on. He switched it off. I'm not supposed to be down here enjoying myself... No no, he is. Except he's not. Because I've forced him to deals with his children.

And here I am mning. How very dare I?

[ShatnersBassoon]

Did he do it without thinking? I've turned the lights off when I've walked out of a room away from an argument, making me look like a twat.

[Fireyfieryfiery]

Yes, I was watching Obama

[Fireyfieryfiery]

No, shatners.... It was as very conscious decision

[pigletpower]

Hang on.let me just compute this.Your husband walked out on the kids when it was his turn to look after them? Leaving them to do what? He sounds like a childish prick.Is there anyway of actually leaving the house physically? So he cannot rely on you to pick up his slack?

[JimmysMum1988]

I'd put on a chip flick and refuse to turn it off x

[Fireyfieryfiery]

No, he's gone to look smarter the kids. He just switched the tv off on me. He is looking after the kids. He's just pissed about it

[Fireyfieryfiery]

After. Flipping ipad

[HuwEdwards]

Bloody rude. Switch it back on and ignore.

[Meandmycats]

I agree with coconutty. Yes, it was stroppy of him to turn it off but if you want it on then just turn it back on!

[StuntGirl]

Turn the TV back on if you were watching it. Good god.

[KellyElly]

Chip flick lol.

[scrablet]

Don't get why you don't just turn it back on if you want it on?

[MayTheOddsBeEverInYourFavour]

I would switch it back on even if I didn't want to watch it just to make a point

I can't abide childish strops in grown adults
