to have been a bit arsey on the phone to DH

[Newmummytobe79]

DH has worked every Saturday in December.

He sees our new baby for a little while at night during the week and weekends are our family time. (plus I get a bit of a rest as he shares the caring)

He's had a tough day, but so have I.

He's just rang to say he's going for a quick pint with the lads. I was a bit arsey on the phone as I expected him home before 5pm.

I understand they've all been working hard and it's Christmas and blah blah blah but I'm knackered and miss him.

He's softened the blow by saying he'll pick me up a bottle of wine on the way home But I'm still a bit pissed off.

I am now going to have a beer and not tidy up the house like I had planned to do as I'm knackered.

AIBU to be a bit annoyed with him or will I not care once I've had a beer

YANBU to be annoyed but its not like he is out every night on the lash, its a one off.

I'd say YABU if it is just a pint.

However if you know that a pint means 8pm-9pm as it does for my DH, then your are NBU.

Enjoy your

YABU. Just make the room a bit dimmer so you can't see the mess. If he's working Saturdays it's for money isn't it?? Not exactly having fun.

YABU. He told you where he's going and who with and he's been hard at work. Not saying you haven't but why get arsey when he's only going for a pint?

AFuckingFestiveKnackeredWoman - can I have your username please!

I know, I know ... it's not that bad I guess and at least I can crack open the soon :)

OP, I'm sure you work very hard, do you work, outside of the home? If not then I'm sure you would agree that you can be a little bit flexible on this one, as it sounds to me as if your dh is doing his utmost and that "fexi" time for him is scarce. Wouldn't it be lovely if you could express that to him.

Have a beer and chill out.

YAB a bit U, but understandably. Have a rest and you might feel less U about it all.

Driftwood - we have a small baby so not 'working' outside of the home at the moment. Just knackered with looking after the little one.

Trills - I am doing and feeling less and less U as we type. Cheers!
