We have been together 16 years, married 12. We have 3 dc's. he is very work orientated, loves his job, probably works on average 15 hours a day with rare days off.
I work ft, I do all the housework, cooking taking kids to activities etc.
When he comes home he's tired and grumpy, snaps at us all. Earlier tonight he told ds1 to turn off Xbox and ds protested a bit. Dh said if he doesn't like it he can bugger off (he's 14). That was all the conversation he made with any of the children :( ds2 had been at football practice and was telling dh about the goals he scored and was all proud, dh couldn't have looked less interested. It's horrible to watch, I can't stand it. When I speak to dh about it he brushes it off.
I know he's tired, I'm fucking shattered but I can still take an interest in my children. He stormed off to bed at 9pm because I blanked him after the Xbox thing with ds1. I know he will be all apologetic tomorrow to me but not the kids.
He does have good points but I just wish he would take time with the children, they grow up so fast and after tonight it's got me thinking they probably can't wait to move out away from this grumpy arsehole who doesn't seem to have any time for them. It's so sad.
