We nipped to a supermarket yesterday to buy a couple of last minute bits. We already have an X-box and whilst we were there DH suggested we bought a Kinect and some new games so we could all have a bit of fun playing it over the Xmas period. I was all for it as our 3 DCs, who are spread out in age, would all get use out of it, as well as DH and I.
We got home, and DH set it up, and then subsequently started playing it with the kids and got in a terrible mood with all the DCs when they didn't do it as they were meant to or when they didn't do what he suggested. I was in the kitchen and all I could hear was DH's voice bossing them around (he is v. competitive). We then had two visitors and DH sat glued to the damn thing the whole time. Then was in a bad mood for the whole evening because he said the kids had been badly behaved, but they hadn't, they just took time to learn how to play all the new games.
Fast forward to this morning, and he is still in a bad mood. And has played X-box from around 9am and is still playing now! Whilst I do everything! And is in a snappy, uncommunicative mood.
Wish we'd not bought the fucking thing tbh! He's off for 2 weeks now and I'm damned if I'm going to do everything the whole holiday whilst he plays computer games.
