Dh worked from home today. He got stropy and fed the tortoise as no one else has. He hasnt spoken to me all afternoon and was ranting that he has to work so shouldnt be doing it. It is his tortoise. I did not want it and do not like it very much. The kids arent interested in it either. He knew when he bought it I didnt want one. (I do feed the tortoise when he doesnt bother and is in work but he doesnt know this as I dont want him to expect me to do it)
When he brought home the gineau pigs I looked after them until they died. I am still looking after the rabbit he turned up with one day. He wanted a dog, we agreed he would walk the dog every day and at weekends clear up after him in the garden, i would clear up during the week. He has never walked him and has never cleared up after him. I get up at 6.30am to take his dog for a walk during term time (get a lie in during school holidays), i clear up the garden every day and I feed and water the dog.
His arguement is that he works so shouldnt do anything. My arguement is that I didnt want the tortoise, he just went out and bought it so he can look after it especially seeing as I am now looking after all the other animals he has brought home.
