DO goes through stages of being on his Xbox constantly. He is currently going trough one of those stages and it's driving me mad. Every evening he'll do the dishes while I'm putting the kids to bed. He always finishes before me and will come into the living room and play his Xbox. I do all the night waking so I have to go to bed early. He always stays up 1/2/3 hours longer than me so will sometimes be on the Xbox for up to 5 hours in the evening.
I do ask him to come off sometimes so that we can talk/watch TV together and he says 'once I've done this bit.' 40 mins later he will still be on.
The evenings I don't mind so much because I suppose I can just find other things to do. It's at the weekend that annoys me.
Our DC are 1 and 3 and of course playing in the living room and walking in front of the TV/making noise/ trying to interact with DP.
He just ignores us all and moans if DC get in the way of the TV. It's also down to me to watch the DC. I would never just sit here and read a book ect, just ignoring everyone. It's just rude.
He's been on the Xbox for nearly an hour this morning and if I didn't make him come off in another hour or two, he would stay on all day. (I've tested this before. It got to 8 hours before I gave in.)
If course I'm not actually going to throw the Xbox out the window by AIBU to think DP is on the Xbox too much?
