DH is ridiculous!

[iamboudicca]

And maybe soon to be SBXH ?

yes another silly spat today. and he’s now in a massive sulk…

He’s wfh today and I am off with the kids for summer holidays (I work term time only).

he is in and out all day. He apparently started work before 7 and knocked off at 3.30.

I slept in ( as did kids) to 8 and then I took kids out for an activity with their friend till lunch time. DH is making lots of passive aggressive points about us not getting up etc. I then did a couple of hours housework… got kids to tidy their rooms and then started a long promised activity with DC1 (she has been waiting 2 months for me to have a window to help her with it). DH come in and interrupts after 20mins. Expecting me to drop DDs activity to help him with something which is NOT urgent.

I said I would help after Doing DDs activity but this was not good enough and so he started fussing … I ended up telling him off ( cos he was being such a twat about it) and went back to help DD.
after we had finished I offered my services but no. 1.5 hours later he is still sulking. Sitting in the garden staring into space. WTAF.

Not much anyone can suggest apart from LTB ( I am thinking of it…) but needed to Vent.

Ask him to choose a place for the new patio op.

Always an alibi on mn...
Seriously the silent treatment is actually grounds for divorce.
Ime.

I cannot bear my DH working from home when I’m home with the kids. It just doesn’t work for us at all

@NancyJoan DH has a home office/garden room so he has peace, quiet and space to work. He just has FOMO which drives me mad

Save all those PA sleep in comments for the next time he has one, or has a nap.
Just leave him in the garden. He can come in when he's ready (or not).

He sounds like a passive aggressive baby. It is not like you had a long lay in or anything. You have done the right thing as you are spending time with your children and doing an activity you promised and you sound like a great mum. He is sulking around making comments trying to talk the fun out of your day and let him just sit in the garden sulking. I would tell him after that you do not appreciate the comments and demanding that you jump to his request to do something while you are helping your daughter. Glad I am single and am staying single as in perimeno appreciate being able to do as I please with no man giving me grief or putting me down. It is like he is sulking because you were out doing stuff and poor him has to work. If he is working then why is he hassling you to do something for him and not doing his work. Do not let him put a damper on your day. Does he do things with the children or leave it up to you. You sound like a great mum.

I couldn't be bothered OP, I really couldn't.

He's hardly working long hours by the sounds of it, doesn't have the right to demand help simply because he wants it then and there and you're the first port of call and to then sulk at not getting his own way.

Clearly can't cope with any/all attention not being on him.
