I spent all day cleaning, tidying, doing laundry, washing up etc trying to make the house nice for Christmas. Literally did not sit down.
DP was 'watching the baby' (17 months) but basically letting her watch back to back cartoons on his phone whilst he watched his own thing on the TV.
Got annoyed because I got annoyed that he wasn't lifting a finger to help. Claimed he was keeping the baby out of my way but wasn't interacting with her at all. I feel that was just lazy parenting... am I being overly harsh? I feel that as he was using her as an excuse not to help me, he might have actually bothered to play with her. I wouldn't have minded if he had. I mean, I could have plopped her down in front of some videos, she hardly needed supervising with it.
He wouldn't have a reasonable conversation about it and has now gone to spend the night at his mums 'to get some space'. It's Christmas Eve ffs. Now our little one will wake up with only one parent on Christmas Day. I know she doesn't have a clue what's going on, but it still makes me sad.
So WIBU? Should I apologise?
