DP blaming me.

[FaceForRadio]

I work FT, DP is SAHD.

This morning the alarm went at 07.40am, I switched it off and had a snooze.

Next thing I open my eyes, check the clock and it's 09.05am! I need to be in work by 09.30am and it's at least 40min drive! Fuck!

So I go into bathroom, quick wash, teeth brushed etc etc, no shower because of how late I am, make up and hair then clothes. I don't go downstairs until I'm ready to go.

During this time I'm thinking 'why hasn't dd woke up, this is really late for her' It has happened occasionally on the weekend where she has slept a little later and we've taken advantage and had a lie in so we thought it was one of these mornings, but naturally I worry, so said to DP 'we best check on her' So we did.

She was asleep, and we gently woke her up. She was a little grumpy but we thought it may have been because she slept too heavy.

Anyway, we all go downstairs (at this point I'd have breakfast with them, but due to the time I was leaving straight away), then I look at the clock on the dining room wall. It says 07.20am. Checked TV, same time.

Turns out, my alarm clock was wrong and it was 2 hours earlier than I thought! No wonder dd was grumpy.

Of course DP is now in a terrible mood, blaming me, and in general not being very nice about it. We had a row I left the house anyway and now I'm in work an hour earlier than I should.

Surely it's not anyones fault that the clock was wrong.

It was 7.20am not 5.20am! How can there be a row over getting up at 7.20am?

oh the breakfast thing is not on my insistance by the way, it's just what we both do.

good job we don't live together then MooBaaWoofCheep hey?

it's just our routine and we like it, never had any complaints before - well until the fucking clock was 2 hours fast

[shrugs]

I also had the reverse of this. Some years ago I had been coughing all night and took myself off to the sofa. In the morning my DH let me sleep in because I hadn't been well. I woke up about an hour and a half after I should have and all hell broke loose because I had to be in London soon and I didn't have a time machine at my disposal. So somtimes we/they can't win.

I think your routine sounds nice Face

And in our house, the hairdryer comes to bed with us. DP likes to use it as his own personal towel, so it doesn't matter whether I am going to work or not - if DP is going to work I am gently woken by a practically purring DP waving the hairdryer under the duvet after he has hopped out of the shower

Now that's weird twllbach

Your routine is FINE OP - stop justifying yourself to these silly people who think everyone else has to do things the same way as they do, and need it all explained to them when they don't.

Most off-topic thread of the week!

thanks pictish :)

TwllBach - are you in a relationship with chewbacca

made me laugh.

when I question him about it every day because it is wired he can't seem to find a better answer than"but it's so...cosy"

He is not the sort of person you would look at and think used words like cosy.

Where else should you dry your hair then? I've always done it in my bedroom. Even when I worked in tesco and left at 6.30am on a Sunday shift

Sorry faceforradio - think I've got you this time!

Fwiw I'm a terrible grump in the mornings when I'm. Just up, wouldn't matter what anyone did it would all be their fault!
