I think I have been, re DH and DS1's birthday party

[Ormirian]

DS1 was 14 on Tuesday. We are taking some friends to play laser tag on Sunday and the home for food and cake. Didn't want to do it on Saturday as DD has a riding lesson and it would mean rushing around like a mad thing to fit it all in. Could have done it Sunday afternoon but then it would run into Sunday evening chores (baths, packed lunches, inevitable last minute hw ). So I booked it on Sunday morning and told DH today.

Problem is DH plays footie on Sunday am and there has only been one match for about a month. But there has hardly been a day over Christmas when Dh hasn't been out in the evenings for an hour or so, and has watched matches in the pub or at a friends' house. He managed to avoid a few family visits that way. All of which is fine in moderation but I think he took the piss personally this time.

I could change it to Sunday afternoon but as it would just increase the stress factor for me I don't want to. And I suspect I am trying to give him a subtle slap on the wrist - which isn't really like me.

DH didn't complain but looked a bit sorry for himself. So AIBU and selfish?

152 posts.

The poor, oppressed man didn't complain once.
Says his family is more important.

Verdict.

Knock his teeth out.

It's all about the menzzzzzzzzz

Er, he was in the wrong.

What would he complain about?

Oh yeah, he's a menzzzz, he gets to complain anyway.

Apparently, some Very Clever Scientist has proven that if a man does not moan or feel put-upon at least once a week, his balls will explode.

It's true, fact-fans.

He can't be in the wrong he didn't do anything.

Or is being a menzzzzzz mean your just wrong anyway?

It would seem so: you're

Touché!

I like Truck. He's a man defending the menz. Like taking a fart to a shit fight.

Truck - no he didn't complain, poor darling. He did sigh, look sad and in general play upon my overdeveloped guilt gland. My argument was that he had no right, dammit, to feel upset!

Anyhoo, it turns out he knew that already. So all is well

Bup you weren't so rude when you were in Dadsnet.

We even chatted about Friends and Flight of the Conchords.

I think you're just acting tough in front of your mates,I'm disappointed.

Sorry Truck, you're right :( I've been buoyed by Hully linking arms with me. That bloody Hully.

Here,

p.s In that film, Brett and Jermaine are played by Alistair and Truck and the well 'ard gangsters are played by Hully and I.

It's Ok kids, you don't have to agree on everything

< quite likes Flight of The Conchords >

Brett or Jemaine?

Brett - sexy
Jermaine - weirdly sexy

Jemaine is ugly on paper but in reality is a sexual man

I prefer Coco in the series.

Branch accepted and returned.

And

LOL at Jemaine's purple blazer

There's a picture somewhere on the interwebs of Jemaine in VERY short shorts, a tight crop-top style t-shirt and flip flops. I must find it...

Thankyou Truck. I am indeed the only most beautiful girl in this house room

PMSL at this thread!

Sad to have missed the fight, but it's 4 a.m. here and I'm exhausted, so really it would have just been me jumping around and saying "take that" after someone else let fly with the wit.

DH and I like to play:

I Told You About This Weeks Ago

and

How the F*ck Should I Know Where Your Socks Are

Ah, we know how to keep the spark alive, I tell you!

Hi Cheerful Yank.

Have to go now, sadly, but nice to "see" you

You too, Jamie my lovely :)

DH has left with all the children. I am trying to cook chili and ice a birthay cake in between throwing my guts up due to a vile hideous bastard migraine. The ironing pile is being ignored.

Happy birthday to ds for yesterday, Orm.

Ironing is not to be countenanced. Throw the iron away.

And throws a kiss back to Cheerful.

Ugh, migraines! They are soooo bloody awful, aren't they?! I remember the first one I had after DS was born...I called my mother and said, sobbing, "I just didn't think...I still have to be a mom when I have migraines, don't I?" That's one of the worst parts I think...you still have to do things for your DC even when you're feeling like death warmed over.
