To be pissed off that OH has spent 3 days doing nothing but playing a fecking game??

[MummyTo2MonkeysAnd1Bug]

Battlefield 3 was released friday.

OH has been spending every waking hour - even eating meals playing on the PC, with a pair of headphones on so he is completely oblivious to what is going on around him.

3 DD's have been ignored, shouted at by him if they speak to him, and iv been left to do basically everything, all the cooking, cleaning, childcare, he even had me making snacks for him lastnight whilst he played this game, inbetween watching the one TV programme i enjoy, and trying to pacify our youngest DD who has a chest infection - my stupidity in thinking he may get a grip and get off there if i did!

He is now complaining of a headache, and i basically said if he didnt spend so much time playing in the pc he may feel better. His response was to tell me to 'shut up'. When i replied that it was unfair he was spending all this time playing a game and generally being selfish i was told to fuck off!!

AIBU? Or does the pc need a trip out of the window?

haven't read the whole thread, but clearly this isn't about computer games. It's about him being immature, selfish and controlling. He had you making snacks for him? I'd have told him to get his own fucking snacks and then gone out. he only acts like this because you let him get away with it, the lazy, selfish bastard.

when he's finished the game, tell him you've booked a weekend break then go off for 3 days and leave him to do all the work.

You know it's completely unacceptable don't you?!

I'm terrible for spending far too much time on MN, 'just half an hour' can turn into hours - but never at the expense of someone else - whether that's a child or an adult and if anyone (IRL) called me on the time I spend on here the very last thing I'd do would be to tell them to shut up and fuck off :(

For me, it's not so much the amount of time he has spent on it, it's his attitude to you about it.

It would have been so much better if he'd have said something like 'The new game is coming out on Friday the 28th, I would love to spend the weekend playing it. Would you mind doing a lot more than your fair share and then in a couple of weeks I'll do the same for you' .... of course, not at the complete expense of spending any time with the kids at the weekend.

But his attitude... it's disgraceful. He would be being told to shape up or ship out.

Maryz - I'm very very impressed at your DS !!!!!!

Bloody hell - maybe he could run a workshop!! I'm very impressed with him he's showing far more common sense and maturity than me, ahem, have you seen the time Really, really impressed with him.

YANBU, he sounds like a mean sad twat.
