We’ve got a newborn as well as rec age dd so we’ve had a few competitive tiredness and weight pulling arguements already which is why I didn’t start another arguement now, especially as we’d had a nice evening.
So I was just getting stuff ready for school run tomorrow when I said to dh ‘any chance you can get up with me to help out before I take dd to school’? He doesn’t work Mondays so I didn’t think this was unreasonable. He laughed and said ‘but I wouldn’t really be much use would i’. I agreed and said that he wouldn’t because he gets up and sits outside drinking tea and smoking for about half and hour before he can engage with me and the kids. He agreed and didn’t try to argue against what I said because he knows it’s true. By this time I’ve done everything and if the baby’s crying I’ve sorted it before dh would be any use. So what’s the point in getting him up? Not sure why I’m posting this but just had to get it off my chest. What would you say in that situation without causing an arguement?

A bit pissed off with Dh’s comment when I asked him to help out in the morning before school.
