DD has a party today DH said he wasn’t going from the moment we got the invite about a month ago. I’ve been ill for a week with a sinus infection so the house is a mess tons of washing not been done and no food shopping. DH wet his bed last night so his mattress needed cleaning. So i said to DH this morning you take DD and I will just stay here and sort the house out. He said he didn’t want to go and sit with a bunch of women.

So I said ok you stay here and clean I will go to the party that was also a flat out no. So I said fine you go the party then since you don’t want to help out here.

I gave DD a shower and got her dressed and it was about 10 minutes until the party started. He comes up stairs hanging about telling me that I’m going to be late. He can quite clearly see me in my pyjamas running about cleaning and helping DD get ready.

We went back and fourth for about 20 minutes poor DD in tears and him refusing to take her. He got in a strop and eventually took her.

AIBU?

Your DH wet the bed? Why exactly?

I know that's besides the point but you're cleaning up his mess so he shouldn't be stropping about anything. He sounds like a spoilt brat.

He wet the bed? And didn’t clean it up??

He wet the bed? I assume he’s a drunk as well as a useless husband and father?

What did he expect to do? Just sit at home?

From this he sounds utterly useless.

He’s a cunt and your daughter can see it. You need to put your kids before this dickhead-sorry!
