Angry Fuming

We've been to a friends house for tea, this never happens I was looking forward to it and we've had a lovely night. So it's very late DD knackered, so am I, I've had her and my month old DS to mind alone all day whilst he goes football.

So the bright spark first of all says she can come in bed with us, Confused why? I'm gonna be up all night feeding don't need this shit. I say no and asks that he puts her to bed.

She's crying, daddy story. He's says no it's too late, do you want the iPad!!! She says yes but want a story too, no story it's late. He comes out if the room I said no way, your not really gonna do that? He says yes. So I can get out of bed mid feed, take the iPad off my DD and feed her a story whilst feeding my DS. I tell him he's useless, he says well done, what a hero you are. Come back in room he's sleeping. Lazy fucking fuckwit I'm fuming.

Oh well I am doing something wrong so, as sometimes I skip the stories at the end of the day

Yep, overreaction. No-one is going to die from one night without a story. Tbh if I get back late with DD I tell her it's straight to bed and we'll do a story tomorrow. No need for story or ipad in the situation you described, just straight to bed. I can't believe you are having a massive domestic over it. What a waste of time and emotion.

We sometimes watch 'in the night garden' on iplayer, that works quite well. One of us is in there for a cuddle at the same time, and to stop her prodding the screen!

You're overreacting a little, op.

Yep probably sleep deprived and ratty, but the quickest way of getting her to sleep was a story not pissing about with an iPad. Any hoo, no massive domestic just don't appreciate him being lazy when I'm having them all day then doing the night shift BFing.
