To be sick of being married to the grinch

[parno]

Why are you bothering making Christmas puddings for everyone,isn't it easier to buy one? Why are you bothering to make miincemeat, isn't it easier to buy it? Why are you putting the Christmas tree up we are going to your dad's for Christmas? Why did you pay £30 for the tree? That works out at xxp per day. Why are we bothering to put decorations up at your dad's we are only there for 2 days (df just moved into care home so last Christmas at family home before he has to sell to pay for care)

Blah, Blah, Blah.

My response is because I fucking want to you total twat (in my head)

I know LTB

Call him Victor (as in Meldrew).

It's best just to laught at it ...you could turn his grumpy bastardness to your advantage. Just think of the fun you and the children could have.

I will try and work out the cost per inch and really wind him up.

If I suggested going to choose a Christmas tree, DH would look at me like assuming I had either gone insane or been replaced by a Doppelgänger. He saw our neighbours carrying their tree down the road at the weekend and said "One of the reasons I married you was to help me have less hassle in my life. Not to be carrying fucking Christmas trees down the fucking road."

I must admit grumpiness of this kind just makes me laugh. I must be sick in the head - or perhaps it's because my dad was a grumpy git.

Parvo - this hasn't just you giggle, I've been in stitches too. I too have a DH that turns into a grinch every december. I always go and buy the bushiest and biggest tree i can find, and get the kids to make paper snowflakes for all the windows etc. I'm spurred on by all the comments to really push the boat out this year. It's gonna be tinsel and paperchains everywhere

I was that neighbour. Dragging an 8 ft tree through b and q on my own, trying to cram it into my seat ibiza on my own, dragging it out into the house on my own whilst the grinch made the comments previously posted.

Off to put my mince meat into jars for work chums. Some might accidentlx find it's way into someone's work boots and hat.
