to be titsed off?

[worldgonemad72]

Ive had a weeks holiday from work this week, i normally work a 40hr week, plus an extra 1hr and 20 minutes travelling time per day.
My dh is working for an agency at the mo , he has only had 2 days work in 3 weeks. He does go college every thursday.
I have had to get up with the kids every day, ive said i want a lie in but it just hasn't happened. Im so brassed off,my last lie in was on easter sunday.
Today was the final straw, he ddn't get up until 11.30.
There isn't any point falling out with him over it as im back to work tomorrow...think im just going sulk the rest of the day.

Well, why didn't he get up? why did you get up? Why didn't you send the kids in to jump on him? Why didn't you shout the kids into the bedroom and stay there all together until he was wide awake?

Sulking is very manipulative and passive agressive. Far better to state clearly your complaint, even if it results in a falling out.

YABU for "titsed off"

YANBU for the lack of lie-ins.

Im a total pushover sometimes, one of my failings as a person. I did give him a nudge but decided as i was already awake that i may aswel get up.

whats wrong with saying titsed off??? it one of my favourite phrases

Well, with the best will in the world - that was your own daft fault!

You can't choose to get out of bed and then blame him for it If you wanted a lie in, you should have kicked him in the shin until he woke up. You didn't. You got out of bed. That's not his fault.

Next time, push him really hard.

the thing is - you've got to take what you want because he isn't going to do it for you.

it's annoying but true, you've just got to do it. promise yourself that next time you will just stay in bed and let him crack on with it.
shut the door and ignore all moaning.

good luck

I have disagree with the YABU posts on here. It's all well and good saying the OP needs to tell OH to get up and let her lie in, but actually she may have wanted him to show care and appreciation by offering without being.

My DP works full time and I am a SAHM and he is always offering to do things for me (including allowing me to lie in), just because he cares. My exh was a selfish git, who NEVER let me lie in, did no housework, played on his pc all day and never helped with our dd. This was because he didn't give a toss about me, hence we are divorced.

YANBU.

*without being prompted.

your so right rocklover, he does do other nice things for me and he does say he'll get up, but he never does, he says he doesn't hear them.
thanks for all the replies.
