I had my gallbladder removed on Weds, I know it's not a major operation, but still left me in pain and sore.
Family have been fab. DH couldn't get time off of work, not his fault, not why I want to kill him.
Due to this I can't drive So today is the first day where I have been left on my own all day with DD who is 18 weeks. She is not the hardest baby but certainly not the easiest. DH at work between 8 this morning and 6 this evening.
Gone a bit loopy on my own and not getting out. So suggested we go to the inlaws to get me out and give me a bit of relief.

We forgot DD evening bottle to DH went with FIL to get it which took 3/4 of an hour leaving me with DD as MIL was preparing tea.

Anyway after tea DD starts crying as she was tired. So I start to walk her up and down the hall while DH sits and watches TV. FIL comes and takes over after 20 minutes of walking. I go back into sitting room where DH is and give him the look, at which point he says do you want to go home? I say not really (though probably did just didn't want to admit it) So he goes and takes DD off of FIL and puts her on the play mat we keep at theirs. He then walks off and leaves her crying there. After waiting 5 mins to see if he does anything. I pick her up and say lets go home then.

AIBU to want to just strangle him?

Agree with Worra. Let it go. No one is being unreasonable. You are still in pain. He's had a long day at work and is pooped out.

Reel in your heads bit and accept that it was a hard day all around for everyone.

And next time, be clearer on your needs. After an 8 hour shift, all I can decipher about my own needs is 30 min. of relaxation to recharge and would've been too tired to decipher what my partner needs.

That's what I was trying to say amongst the waffle mynewpassion Blush

If you're shattered from work, you're worried about your DP, you're worn out from having a young baby in the house, you're worn out from driving too....

Well deciphering certain signals can certainly go out the window.

In the grand scheme of things it seems a biggy now (understandably) but really it won't be when they look back on today in the future.

Just one of those days that needs to be filed under 'Bleuurrgh' I think!
