to insist that DH takes tomorrow off

Have namechanged because I'm embarassed by the immaturity of this
DS doesn't go back to school until Tuesday so I'd asked my brother and sister who are both back from university at the moment to look after them. My brother and sister are both Tottenham supporters whilst DH is a Chelsea fan (I couldn't care less). We went to the pub to watch the game with a few of DH's friends as well. DH's team won and after it ended he started goading them even called them a couple of cunts.
They decided to leave and him and one of his friends suggested that they were off to make love to each other because that is what Tottenham fans do apparently, I briefly said see you tomorrow and my sister said fuck that we're not going out of our way to help him. We now have no childcare for tomorrow, AIBU to say that DH should take the day off to deal with it as he has caused this problem.

Thanks for that Brux Angry I can assure you, that as a football fan, I am none of those things. Not are any of my mates who love football.

You on the other hand, have just displayed a breathtaking amount of bigotry. Not to mention being very rude

I would rather go for a beer with a bunch of football fans than someone like you any day

Metabilis3 · 17/04/2012 13:57

@curryspice Exactly. Well, I don't drink. But apart from that. Grin

CurrySpice · 17/04/2012 13:58

I do met. Blush proper reprobate me!

Metabilis3 · 17/04/2012 14:03

Grin I'm the odd one, not you! Recent weeks have almost been enough to drive me to drink, mind you. (Spurs fan. :( )

Yes it would have been worth the loss in income.

Maybe next time your lovely husband lets his personality off the leash, you could try making him actually feel the consequences of it. You never know, he might even turn into the kind of BIL that your bro and sis don't feel gutted to have to call family.

PooPooInMyToes · 17/04/2012 14:15

I agree that you should have just put up with the loss of income. How much can the difference have been for just one day!?

Money isn't the only consideration. What about pissing off your employer? Just because you earn less doesn't mean your job is any less important.

CurrySpice · 17/04/2012 15:15

Oh Met Sad Spurs is my second team. I am actually a Wolves fan so you can imagine how I'm feeling

Metabilis3 · 17/04/2012 15:20

@curry Oh dear. I imagine you weren't ecstatic about last night's result either.

CurrySpice · 17/04/2012 15:46

I wasn't to be honest though I'm always happy to see the arse getting beaten :o

Metabilis3 · 17/04/2012 15:56

@curry It's looking pretty grim. Other than a miracle I suppose your best case scenario would involve Villa getting sucked in? :( Still, look at Newcastle. Consider where they were 3 years ago and where they are now.

CurrySpice · 17/04/2012 16:06

I just wish we hadn't got rid of Mick McCarthy - it's all gone to hell in a handcart since then :( Our next game is Man City

I don't care about Villa. Only Midlands team that I have an irrational feeling about that I notice is West Brom.

Metabilis3 · 17/04/2012 16:33

@curry it's difficult to find anyone in footy who has a bad word to say about Mick McCarthy other than Roy Keane. Such a shame. I can think of several clubs I'd rather see go down (Blackburn, QPR, Villa, of the ones who feasibly might). But there you go. Come back stronger.

Look - we managed to have a conversation without swearing! Grin

PooPooInMyToes · 17/04/2012 16:48

OH MY GOD! FOOTBALL TALK! RUN, RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!!!!!!!

CurrySpice · 17/04/2012 17:12

Met I met Mick McCarthy earlier this season and he was bloody lovely.

Yes, you see, here are two utter cunts football fans having a reasonable conversation witout being racist, sexist, violent homophobic twats

Hold the front page Hmm

PooPooInMyToes · 17/04/2012 18:38

Did i just fall asleep?

Oh, I'll get it right in a minute.

Envy

I think he's great...

ifeelloved · 18/04/2012 07:35

Agree with others that he should still have taken the day off. Has he apologies to them yet?

fuzzpig · 18/04/2012 13:34

How on earth can you face having sex with someone that immature?!

BarbarianMum · 18/04/2012 14:02

You know, I read through this (v. depressing) thread thinking 'why are so many posters saying that her bro/sister are letting the OP down (childcare being a joint responsibility and all).'

Now I understand Sad.

CurrySpice · 18/04/2012 15:38

Sooty, he's a friend of a friend and invited me to the director's lounge. He was funny and kind and chatted for ages. I was gutted when he was fired Sad

PooPooInMyToes · 18/04/2012 20:11

Barbarian. I was thinking that too.
