DH didn't move the bloody elf

[hippoherostandinghere]

This just about sums DH up at the moment. I swear he can't do anything thing without being spoon fed. I'm sick of him being totally useless/lazy.

DD, DS and I away for the night, just got home this afternoon. They talked the whole way home about what the elf might have got up too and when we got back they were disappointed to find him still in the same position. I purposely didn't remind him because he KNOWS about the elf as he reminds me about it every night before bed so I left him too it

I've told them he maybe only moves when they're at home but is it seriously that hard for him to remember one thing?

Either leave him to it, and deal with him yourself.

You are giving yourself too much stress if you have to check after an other adult.If he can't be bothered and your kids are always disappointed, decide what is best for you: doing it yourself, or ignoring the drama.

I love the elf, I am not sure I would have before internet, but it's so easy nowadays and requires 0 efforts, my kids are really excited every morning. Just because it didn't exist in the past doesn't make it less worthwhile. Having a thousands of quick ideas at the tip of your fingertips is a godsend though.

That sooner that little fucker elf dies out, the better.

Lol I wouldn’t have moved it either. He didn’t want to do this stuff, why are you forcing him? If he wants he would do it. We don’t do elves in the house because neither of us bother. But if DH wants to, I won’t stop him but I wouldn’t do it for him. Just like he likes lights and he puts them up. I don’t go and turn those lights on. They are PITA. I much prefer decorations where you can put up and leave for a month.

How do you know he didn't want it? I'm not forcing him into anything. He doesn't hate the elf. Last year when I worked night duty he happily engaged in it and had plenty of good ideas. This year it's like now I don't work nights he expects me to deal with it all. He should have had enough common sense to think about moving it. It's not about him hating it he just didn't bother.

I’m with Hilda

exLtEveDallas, who sees to it? I thought Teachers were barely able to manage their workload, let alone fuck about with something so unnecessary.

OP, make the 'well done' banner put of something naughty. Toilet roll, white sock, tea towel etc.

Maybe he forgot?! Christ, after a long week of work the last thing I’d be thinking of would be to think up some shite for a commercial product. This is why I won’t do it, I’d do it on the first, forget all month, feel like shit and have to make up some excuse for dd. Pointless.

@Birdsgottafly

The fabulous teachers and TAs that come in to work at 7:30 (an hour before the kids) just so their children start the day with a smile on their faces. That's who.

I love that Eve. I'm sure it just makes all the little children so happy.
