to think my husband is being a knob

Or am I just so tired its clouding my judgements.
This week (as most weeks) has consisted of getting up at four ish in the morning with ds, getting ready for work, going to work coming home making tea eating tea putting ds to bed, going to bed. I am, for want of a better word, fucked. Yesterday, as I work flexi I decided to finish at three however I don't drive, got to bus stop, realised had forgotten purse. Mil lives five mins from where I work and always offers to give me a ride home if I need it. So I called and asked if it was ok. She said yes and came and took me home.
Dh was pissed off I had asked his mum for a lift.
I have just been sick at work and been sent home (just in case its that nasty bug going around so i dont infect anyone else) personally I think its exhaustion.
The help thing is a separate issue but I don't understand why he went in a strop about me asking his mum for a lift when I'm drowning and need some quiet time to myself.

In the Court of King Knob in the Kingdom of Knobs, your DH is clearly a member of the Royal Family.

How unnecessary to be nasty about a lift that your MIL was quite clearly happy to give.

I think you need to book yourself into a hotel/spa/B&B/whatever you fancy for the weekend and just go. Tell him not to contact you unless life-or-death emergency. Then sleep/eat/sleep/whatever you fancy for 48 hours.

Don't understand why he was annoyed you phoned his mum for a lift, when she'd offered.....Does he dislike his mum, or does he enjoy seeing you run into the ground.........?

what a lovely mil Smile

can't say the same about h though!

Icelollycraving · 20/10/2011 14:42

I think he is probably embarrassed that his mil saw how shattered you are. He is an arse.

Is he still being Grand-knobmeister of knobville city OP?

Ifartrainbows · 20/10/2011 19:53

Agree with the poster who thinks he is angry cos his Mum helping you has shown him up - what an arse !

luvviemum · 20/10/2011 20:22

Total bell end

Your MIL sounds good. Can't she tell him he's a knob?

biddysmama · 20/10/2011 21:26

my husband gets up at 4am with ds, i get up during the night.... also my dh would have gone absolutely mad if me if i hadnt gone to the mils in that situation since the only other option would be to walk home

Secrecy · 20/10/2011 21:33

Knob to the nth degree.

abbierhodes · 20/10/2011 21:33

" questions:
1 why does he have a problem with you asking MIL for a lift? What's his reasoning?

2 How many mornings does he do the 4 o'clock get-up?

even if mil was moaning behind her back as far as op is concerned mil offered and said yes when asked. If she is moaning behind her back thats another issue. It doesn't save the dh from being a prince amoung men and op -yanbu. Hope you are getting some rest.

Gigondas · 20/10/2011 21:43

however dh is uniting this thread in agreeing on his knobness [hgrin]

eurochick · 20/10/2011 21:57

You're not pg are you? Exhaustion, throwing up...

Yes, he is being a nob, btw.

Bledkr · 20/10/2011 22:07

He is a knob head that term only previously used for my ex h.

Seriously tho, we have an early riser and we take it in turns to get up,it nice cos when its your turn you get to eat toast and watch tv and think about not having to get up the next day.
Can i also recommend the pre bed daylight which a fab mner advised me to do on here which changed her from a 4 to a 6am riser.

Dee03 · 20/10/2011 22:09

Definitely a knob...and there are plenty of those around! Smile

HauntyMython · 20/10/2011 22:11

No, don't call him a knob.

That's an insult to knobs!

Pandemoniaa · 21/10/2011 01:54

Fair enough. Let's consider him to be a consummate cockjuggler. That should avoid any allegations of knobbism.

mrsjacko · 21/10/2011 05:06

What are you going to bed at 1am for?

I'd have trouble staying up 'til 3pm if I was up at 4am.

MrsBethel · 21/10/2011 10:10

Was he pissed off you asked his Mum for a lift, or did he just question it?

It's okay to disagree. If he was angry / pissed off - that's definite knob territory.

MilyP · 21/10/2011 10:28

He is being a knob. Maybe his mum will give him an earful for not helping you out and that is why he didn't want you getting help from her. Not excusing him at all, just think that might be why.
