Of course I know that after a couple of years of marriage and a young baby that anyone would tend to relax the civilities at home... BUT after a weekend with my (usually lovely) DH I'm wondering if being explicit and writing a list of basic manners to be expected wouldn't be a bad idea???!
Has anyone actually had this conversation?
I don't know if it's too simplistic to put it down to his upbringing (quick stab at MIL there!) but he does come from an exceptionally thoughtless family.
This all kicked off from the tiny incident of me bringing him his apple strudel in bed(!!), putting mine on my bedside table while I was getting the dvd ready (yes, it's a romantic life here) he just starts scoffing away. Could he not have waited the 30 seconds until I was ready?! And maybe prefaced it with something like "this looks lovely"... Thoughtless schmuck.
I know. I know. It's hardly a great travesty but it was the straw that broke the camels back as I'm still on mat leave and have 100% responsibility for DD (no nanny, family close by, etc.), a young labrador who needs at least an hour out each day, all laundry and housework, cooking, shopping, etc...
What "basic manners" do you expect from your DH/DP???
