Today I have:
looked after DD since she got up two hours earlier than normal because DH crashed out of bed loudly when he went to work
sorted out two loads of washing
cooked and tidied away three meals
made up the spare room for a visitor
taken DD out to playgroup and done a couple of errands that needed doing
spent spare time fiddling around with a load of tedious personal admin that absolutely has to be done by tomorrow
DH has:
been to work, then disappeared off for a shower instead of joining us for tea shortly after getting home. I occupied DD as she got increasingly hyper waiting for her bath. Then he made a phonecall that has been waiting to be made for the last two weeks, that absolutely can't wait any longer. Then he decides to eat his tea at leisure (DD getting more and more wound up by the minute) before doing the evening routine.
DH then seemed to be a bit pissed off that DD hadn't settled at all well, did that thing he does where he goes really monosyllabic (projects a sort of "Don't talk to me, I'm FAR too tired to bother with your prattle" vibe), and has disappeared off to bed without so much as a 'good night'.
I am still fart-arsing around with the admin.
I am actually a bit cross now. Don't get me wrong, he's done his bit of the evening routine, it's just that it has all been on his terms, regardless of whether that suited anyone else. And I'm being made to feel like I'm just fannying about with this admin, as if it was some inconsequential bit of female nonsense.
Grrr.
