To be massively, MASSIVELY pissed off that...

DH didn't wake me when the kids got up do they've opened all of their presents without me being there.

I shopped for them, paid for them, wrapped them and stuck them on the end of their beds.

He did fuck all apart from enjoying watching them open them and right now I hate his fucking guts. Very unseasonable I know, but I'm too upset to care.

Oh Keema love, I'm so sorry he's been such a thoughtless twat, boy, he's been busy - all that twatishness and it's only 7am, hopefully he'll take the rest of the day off and busy himself with something more useful Hmm

I would be unspeakably angry too, but, you know you've got to take a deep breath and enjoy the day with the children, - which I'm sure you will.

Then let seven shitloads of hell on him when the moment is right, wtf was he thinking?

Big Christmas hug to you..{{{{*}}}}

KenDoddsDadsDog · 25/12/2012 07:12

I would be foaming. Make him tidy up and cook breakfast and GROVEL

BinksToEnlightenment · 25/12/2012 07:18

Yeah, that is truly awful. Not just that it happened - but that he would think it was ok. It's dreadful. I would be speechless with upset.

There's still time to watch them enjoy playing with the presents though.

Then raise hell with him later.

AmberLeaf · 25/12/2012 07:20

YANBU at all.

Id be so upset by that.

Alliwantisaroomsomewhere · 25/12/2012 07:27

Has he realised that he has upset you??

Yes he knows I'm upset and has been sulking about it for a while now. The kids do not know I'm upset.

Anyway, I'm off now to crack open the cava. Happy Christmas everyone apart from DH

Maybe next year you could keep the main presents back til later in the day? I'm not trying to be 'my traditions are better than yours' but it would avoid this. Stocking presents are different IMO.

DeafLeopard · 25/12/2012 07:39

Oh Keema, I'd be beyond furious at that too. He's behaved like a twat. Hope you manage to enjoy the day in spite of this.

PumpkinPositive · 25/12/2012 07:59

Did he think he was doing you a favour? Were you very tired?

I'm a very light sleeper and would be woken by a leaf blowing 3 streets away. Xmas Sad Did you not hear them squealing as they opened the gifts?

Onezerozero · 25/12/2012 08:02

What a thoughtless idiot. I'd be very upset and cross.

Cantbelieveitsnotbutter · 25/12/2012 08:08

Wanker!

Lavenderhoney · 25/12/2012 08:11

We do the same as grumpy. I would be super pissed off if dh did that. Did the dc nag him?

Assume he is very sorry and directs dc to give you a big cuddle for organising Santa. And I hope his present to you is enough to make you feel better.

Thoughtless but next year and birthdays make sure he and the dc are aware of what will happen. Make sure he is listening ( experience)

madbengal · 25/12/2012 08:13

Poor you and grr to thoughtless OH

Im working a 12 hr shift today so am missing the Santa pressies :-(

We had Xmas early on Sunday so I wouldn't miss the pressie opening

kirrinIsland · 25/12/2012 08:15

That's awful - I would be furious. And I don't get worked up about much...

FellatioNelson · 25/12/2012 08:19

Shock This would be utterly unforgivable in my house, and would just NEVER happen. I'm not surprised you are furious. Obviously every family has their own way of doing things, and some people might find it worse than others, but I think he has been a completely mean bastard (and the children too - unless they are very, very small they should also know better) and I am devastated on your behalf. Sad

Tell him as he clearly doesn't need your input on Christmas Day he can be wholly responsible for cooking lunch. What a bastard. Angry

CSIJanner · 25/12/2012 08:20

I'm sorry - he's sulking for being thoughtless, upsetting you and right royally cocking up? I'm with Tragedy. If Earl Sulk-a-lot of Sulkdom wants to do it all, he can cook. Twat.

FellatioNelson · 25/12/2012 08:20

This is up there with Custy's family all starting Christmas dinner without her when she popped out for 15 minutes last year. Horrible.

MagicHouse · 25/12/2012 08:33

How horrible - thoughtless git. Hope you can put it behind you. I'm sure the cava will help Grin He'd better be cooking Christmas dinner after that!

ChaoticforlifenotjustChristmas · 25/12/2012 08:44

The Bastard!!! Xmas Shock

Watching the kids unwrapping presents and seeing their faces is one of the best parts of christmas. He's bang out of order and even more so for sulking...twat.

There's been some redemption in that the dolls house, Skylanders & gifts from DSD had missed the frenzy so I got to join in some of it.

Xmas at our house is that everyone is there for opening, full stop. He said "but the kids were desperate to open them", well of course they were FFS, but I wouldn't have let them start without him.

He's still sulking. I'm enjoying a bucks fizz. Breakfast of champions. Fuck it.

I'd still swap yours for mine. Came in at 2.30 last night, told me he loved me about six times, then passed out. I doubt he will achieve anything significant until lunchtime.

peaceandlovebunny · 25/12/2012 09:03

you are right. leave the bastard. don't have him interfering in your christmas.

Narked · 25/12/2012 09:04

He was so, so wrong. Try to enjoy the rest of your day.

HairyGrotter · 25/12/2012 09:11

Man alive, I'd be FUMING. In fact, I'm getting enraged for you, what a div for not thinking

Hope the rest of your day goes better

AloeSailor · 25/12/2012 09:17
