IABU but I resent his New Years resolution.

[boardingschoolbaby]

He has always like dabbling with photography but has decided that this year he would do photography 365- every single day he had to take a photograph that he is pleased with. In theory, no problem. The reality is that it is now 9.40pm, I got home at 8.30pm after a 13 hour day at work (he works from home and finishes at 5.30pm) so he is now faffing around with my dinner service in the dining room table taking pictures and will so so until about half ten when he will want to go to bed.

?

As above.

it means you get left in peace to watch tv or go on the pc.. whats the problem..

who has?

Let him get on with it, he'll soon get bored when the novelty wears off, as long as he puts everything back when he is finished I would be quite pleased to have some wind down time to myself in the evening. Although I can see how it would get annoying if it drags on for much longer, he needs to balance his hobby with spending time with his family.

YABU, he has a hobby, he is even in the house doing it, its not like he made a resolution to go and get drunk every night or something. Go through and speak to him or sit and chill out and watch what you want on the tv or have a bath.

You could be the photo?

Is his faffing with the dinner service holding you up from having dinner?

Oh yes, I know I am being unreasonable- hence why it is on here and I have not said into him. It's just that it is every evening and means we don't do anything together as I work those hours 6 days a week one week and 7 the next so I'm always abut precious about time together. Im really hoping that the novelty wears off soon......

You work 13 hour days 13 days out of every 14? It's a miracle you are still standing, never mind just moaning on here about family time. When do you and DH spend time together?

He finishes at 5.30pm, you get home at 8.30pm. Why not just point out to him that he has 3 feckin' hours to get the shot without it cutting into joint time? And presumably a lunchbreak/teabreak?

most resolutions last two weeks......this time next week your problem will be solved.

Still, sounds like a pretty good idea to me, where's the harm in it?

I tried this last year. Didn't last long and I'm rabid about photography and memory keeping. It will be over soon. Just wondering why he is taking photos of your dinner service though? Try to get him to take photo of everyday life?him/you/pets and then you have some memories to look back on from his short lived new years resolution

Maybe suggest going to interesting places for him to take photographs so you can enjoy part of his hobby with him,if it's lack of quality time that's bothering you?

My Mum is really into photography and my step dad almost always accompanies her when she goes somewhere to take photographs.

"Oooh that's a photographic opportunity" is their catchphrase regarding anything vaguely visually pleasing/amusing

OP: YANBU, purely because of your personal circumstances. It does sound like this is something you need to do at least partly together, for the sake of your sanity. Getting decent time with your OH is crucial with the hours you work.
