To want to come first, just once?

I know i probably ABU, and i'm the adult etc, but just for once i'd like to be important too.

Am a regular, but have namechanged for this.

I went into hosp. saturday morning and came home yesterday. Have had a bad chest infection and lots of drips to replace fluids ect. Still feeling very rough, coughing all night, not sleeping ect. DP has been looking after our three children and has literally done bugger all else. I had to send him shopping yesterday when i got home, and then make a start on the tidying up - dishwasher hadn't been filled, washing in front of washing machine ect - nothing had been done. He'd fed them on bloody cereal all weekend and himself on pot noodles.

He's more than capable, just needs a boot up his lazy arse, so it would seem.

Anyway, he was due to have his son on Sunday, but because i was in hospital and he had the other three to look after he decided to put off seeing him and has just gone off up there today - he left at 8.15 said he's be back by six, and i'm just left thiking that's fucking great. He gets to waltz off for the whole fucking day whilst i'm stuck in the house with three under fours, i feel like shite - all i want to do is pick a corner and die in it - and somehow i have to sort everything out for Christmas too - there's nothing wrapped, i still need to buy a few presents and there won't be a turkey unless i can go and get it tomorrow.

I really don't begrudge him spending time with his son, but just for once i'd like to come first.

Sigh.

Not going to happen is it?

Oops thought you coming first meant something else! Smile

What a complete and utter fucking arsehole!

I'm glad you are going to your dad's, OP, you need someone to look after you and help you.

OP - the hospital have discharged you in the belief you will be getting care and rest at home - tell that to your dh. They have not discharged you to go running about after 3 children, doing all the cleaning, cooking etc.

Does your dh know the meaning of the word recuperation?

He sounds very selfish and immature imo. Please show him this thread.

that's atrocious. absolutely awful

bad enough going off for the day, although nice he wants to spend time with his son, he has 3 other children and a poorly wife

you don't stay in hispital to recuperate, there aren't enough beds for that

you go home and rest

can anyone come and help you?

going for a pint knowing what situation you are in is vile and selfish
