To be more than a bit annoyed with my DH.

[lollilou]

I went out last night for with a friend. DH quite happy with this he watched a dvd with the kids (age 11 and 8 not babies)then put them to bed. So I rolled in at 5.30 this morning! Yes I know not good but DH doesn't mind we often pulled all nighters when we were younger. I got to bed at 6 then got up at 8.15 as my DS was awake and I was actually wide awake. So far so good. Meanwhile DH stays in bed getting up about an hour later. Here is where I began to get annoyed with him. So far today I have,made kids breakfasts, washed up,tided bedroom/kitchen/bathroom,made the bed,done the uniforms and lunches,put a load of washing in,made lunch for all,washed up again,hoovered all rooms and I am going to start the roast dinner in a bit. DH has done NOTHING Oh sorry he made his own fry up then left all the greasy dishes in the sink. But he has now taken the kids off for the afternoon for a bike ride I didn't want to go because of my horrible hangover feeling a bit tired. So AIBU to want more help around the house or should I be more grateful that he's given me a quiet afternoon?

Don't stay out until 5.30am then? Get back a few hours earlier. You really missing much by staying out that late?

Finding it hard to have sympathy with someone whose been out on the lash until all hours...

What were you doing until that time? sorry but you can hardly moan if you choose to stay out all night!

Going out all night negates your right to moan about anything, ever?

I'd not have got up that early in the first place. We usually agree the night before whose turn it is to lie in (normally mine HA!)

"What were you doing until that time?"

What is there to do until that time? Genuine question.

Good point, Vivi. I've seen these threads from the other POV and usually by now there'd have been a suggestion that the man had been cheating. It would also have been nearly all sympathy for the poor woman stuck at home while the man carries on as if he were still single. I think the OP's had a pretty smooth ride in AIBU, tbh!

Is everyone scared of the ban hammer?

My thoughts too. Although I'm picturing the hours between kicking-out-time and 5.30 being spent round someone's kitchen table having a good old character assassination of DPs over a kebab & chips.

I'm just wondering who would have died if just for bloody once the house was left in a bit of a state? For one day?

Definitely a whiff of burning martyr!

Welll, that's where I used to spend it when I was young and had the energy for these things. That or watching crap dvd's sprawled on the floor!

However, how the fuck is the OP's DP supposed to know that?

I suspect your DH is like me and thinks bed making, tidying and hoovering can wait! Especially on a nice autumn day like today has been (here anyway). (I admire your stamina though.)

Obviously

I went to a friends 30th birthday party till 2 then at the end of the night a friend of mine got into a fight with his brother and his lift went without him so we went back to another friends house to calm him down and look after him. We also carried on drinking and having fun! Looking back on my original post it does sound a bit of a moan, I suppose it is a bit of an underlying problem not a major one but it never gets resolved.
