To make DH take a morning off work to wait in repair man?

[MemooMerrilyOnHigh]

DH broke the tumble dryer, Ok it wasn't on purpose but I have told him a million times to empty the water drawer inbetween loads.

He didn't do this and nows its broke.

I am mighty pissed off!

DD2 is really grouchy at the moment with teething and a cold.

Plus I stuggle with strangers coming into the house at the moment, it cause me a huge amount of anxiety and I get panic attacks.

So aibu to tell DH he'll have to sort out the repair man to come and fix it and stay home on the day he comes??

That title really doesn't make sense!

LOL I read the title the way you intended it - when you said it didn't make sense I had to go back and re-read it. That is why I can no longer be a proof reader :( (I blame spending too much time on MN!!).

If this was anyone else I would say YABU, you are already at home, he's not and hopefully just having to pay to have it fixed will remind him to empty the bloody tray between loads!! (I'm a bit suprised you have to though to be honest, the one we had with a condenser didn't need to be emptied that often and had a light to tell you when it needed it).

However, I know how much you struggle and if this really is going to give you a panic attack, set you back - then yes, he needs to take the time off of work. Not so much because he caused it, but because you need him to.

Its a crap machine tbh, the one we had before didn't need emptying this much. It does have a light but he hadn't noticed it apparently.

I know it sounds a bit wet but I struggle so much with having a stanger in the house at the moment. Even my CPN coming round causes me a lot of anxiety but I can just about deal with that.

YANBU.

will he get paid if he takes the morning off?

could a relative/friend come around

He will get paid as he can take AL.

I have no family at all near by and my friends will all be working

oops, forgot I had namechanged!

I don't know, it does seem a waste of some of his leave but if its going to cause you undue stress then he probably should.

YABU

But the panic attacks make it understandable.

Do you really want him to lose that leave, though?

Or is that less of a concern compared to having a stranger in your home?
