My partner has just started a new job after 11 months unemployed, at the same time his new job began I was made redundant from my job and I have been looking for work since.
Yesterday my father visited, the kitchen was a mess (I was cleaning the entire house and it was my last room to clean so the mess from every other room had made its way to the kitchen to be sorted), and there is a large pile of garden rubbish on the drive way because I have attacked the gardens that my partner neglected for the past year and had to remove huge quantities of weeds, it will take at least 6 more full days of work and until I am finished there is no point clearing the mess.
Darling father, who I do love dearly, he just has a very set view of the world and not a sentimental bone in his body, immediately starts huffing and puffing about the state of the kitchen (ignoring the fact that I was cleaning it when he arrived), has a grumble about the mess on the drive (not a word about how good the gardens look, when he has been saying how much work it needs for ages) and essentially gives me a rark up about my obvious failures as a house wife. None of this pissed me off, it is par for the course.
What did put me into a rage was, after inquiring about how my job hunt is going (two weeks is far too long apparently) he said to me "you need to find a job Goat, it is not fair on DP to be the only one working."
Jobs are hard to find around here, and in the 3 years we have been dating I have been the sole earner for 3/4 of that time, yet it would never cross his mind that it was unfair for me to be the only one working. I can't help but feel like my dad prefers my boyfriend to me, am I being unreasonable to be hurt and pissed off by this comment? Should I say something to him about it?
