Partner and I are moving house in a week. We have a 7 month old and a 2.5 year old. I have pretty much done all the packing myself - partner has this frustrating attitude of “it will get done”…
Anyway I removed all the art from the walls this evening and he’s come home from work and said why did I do that, he’s just going to put it all back up???
He said it takes 30 seconds what’s the point, and that having the art keeps the flat looking nice… The point is it’s the accumulation of 1,0000000 things that “only take” 30 seconds, 5 minutes, etc. it’s knowing we are done and we can just leave the house and not have loads of shit to do on what will already be a very busy day… please remember we have 2 children under 3.
I know it’s a stressful time - esp for us, moving home and having a baby and a toddler, but AIBU to think he’s being absolutely ridiculous here??
I am planning to marry him next year and he is usually really reasonable but sometimes he gets a bee in his bonnet about something like this and I just don’t understand it, at all.
YABU - keep the art up, it takes 30 seconds to remove and looks nice
YANBU - it’s one more thing to do on what will already be a ridiculously stressful day
