to be pissed off with DH for spending the day ironing?

I've had the past week off work and DH (SAHD 4 days a week) wanted a day to himself partly as a break from DC but also to get some of the DIY jobs we're doing finished so I agreed to take DC out for the day. We left soon after breakfast & didn't get home until teatime so I was expecting to get home and find the house reasonably tidy and some decent progress on at least one of the jobs...except DH was sat in front of the TV ironing and hadn't anything else - breakfast things still on draining board, clean washing sat wet in the machine despite reminding him to hang it out and no clue about our dinner Angry

I had a bit of a fit at him as IMO ironing in front of the TV can be done anytime (ie in the evening!!) but he thinks I'm being totally unreasonable because the ironing needed doing and he wasn't sat doing nothing but just didn't do what I'd hoped or expected!!

So, AIBU or was he being a lazy arse albeit disguised by a couple hours worth of ironing?

Are you seriosly complaining because you came home and found your DH ironing?
My DH has not ironed one thing since we got together 10 years ago.If I came home to find him ironing I would have given him a shag, not a bollocking...hate ironing.

Blimey a stay at home dad who does the ironing. Divorce him.

If you were a man, posting this about your SAHM wife instead of the other way around I suspect you might have been ripped to shreds on here!
