Husband requiring "full assistance" in the mornings?

[questi0n]

My husband told me last night that he will "require full assistance" to get out in the morning as he has some important meetings etc. He often says things like this and I don't take much notice. I have 3 DC to get out to school as it is. Last night I put everything by the door for him, keys, phone headphones and some documents I "must not let him forget". I even hung his suit out and put his shoes by the door because I can't be doing with him asking me where Particular items are in the morning. Only for him to get up and have a flap because no, he's actually cycling to the meetings and apparently wanted a bag packed .

Wouldn't you think that if you could see someone was dealing with 3 children in the mornings, you wouldn't add to the general rush and stress everyone out by shouting ridiculous questions and demands about things you could easily do yourself? This is a man who employs hundreds of people, by the way. Does anyone else have this kind of issue with their husband?

[PathOfLeastResitance]

Nope. Because he’s an adult and I’m not his slave.

I'd crease up laughing if my DH said this

[Locotion]

Wow.

[Heismyopendoor]

Eh no. I have three kids, not four.

[DontDrinkDontSmoke]

Full assistance?

What a giant bellend. Laugh in his face next time he says it.

[Butterymuffin]

Oh FFS. Adults sort themselves out in the morning. And children too in your case.

[SayNoToCarrots]

Your husband is a bellend

[EweDoEwe]

Does anyone else have this kind of issue with their husband?

No.

[stretch]

Tell him to set his alarm earlier and grow the fuck up. Seriously. Don't do a thing for him.

[flowery]

No, because my DH is a fully-functioning adult. He has important meetings every day of his life and still manages to get himself sorted and walk the dog and help with the kids before leaving at 7.30.

Stop sorting stuff out for your DH as though he’s still at primary school

[glitterelf]

What a knob

[Sirzy]

Why did you get anything together for him? As an adult he should be more than capable of getting ready for w day at work

[Inkanta]

Oh for god sakes.

[corlan]

I must have a dirty mind because I thought 'full assistance' was going to mean something else entirely.

[APermanentlyExhaustedPigeon]

Does he think he has employed YOU? Hope he pays well!

[Globetrotter100]

No. Tell him to pack his own bloody work schoolbag.

[BuntyII]

He sounds like a pompous arse. No assistance required to get out of bed and go to work here.

[Pumpkintopf]

Try reminding him he's actually an adult, not an additional child.

[fuzzywuzzy]

Really? Does he often speak to you like you’re his skivvy?

What would happen if you ignored him and concentrated in getting yourself and dc out the house instead?

[Twickerhun]

Wow no. My contribution to helping my DH get out if the house in the morning is to try to keep the kids out if his way.

[Fruitcorner123]

Is this real? Please stop doing this for him. Its awful and if you have daughters they will learn that this is a woman's place.

[tissuesosoft]

If my DP asked me to do all that I would die laughing and promptly ignore it all.

[Ohforfoxsakereturns]

I did.

He is now my XH.

He had a lovely turn of phrase, “why have a dog and bark yourself?”

I was a SAHM and sucked it up for far longer than I should have. Lost any respect I had for him and saw him as a man-child. A deeply unattractive quality in someone you are meant to consider your lover.

If DP tried that shit he’d be told to fuck right off.

[TSSDNCOP]

Oh give over. I clicked assuming you meant something quite different

No. I do not have that problem with my husband because he’s a grown up.

[Sparklesocks]

He sounds like a manchild tbh
