To not be amused by DPs joking about my injury

[Sunflower49]

A while ago DP agreed to build a wardrobe for me. He's never had one but I wanted one when I moved in. He just hangs his clothes on a rail in the spare room. Because I wanted a wardrobe, I paid for the wood for him to build it.
Anyway, the wood was hanging around the house in various places for ages and ages and eventually I told him that if he didn't do it by X day, I was going to take it back or sell it on to my friend's woodyard, as I was sick of planks and blocks of wood hanging around and him not doing what he said he would do.
He pleaded with me not to said no, I promise I'll do it this weekend I PROMISE!!So I said okay, but I want it putting safe as I keep tripping over it, knocking it over-it wasn't small planks of wood we're talking, it was big 4" by 4" blocks of heavy pine, taller than me and quite heavy. (Hope I've described that right, I'm no builder)! Basically long bits of wood, square at the end.
So he came home from work and said he'd put all the wood away, out of my sight until the weekend so it wasn't in my way. Fine.
Anyway I went into the back porch to get something that day, aaaand a large plank of this wood fell as I opened the door and knocked me on the head. I won't be a drama queen, it didn't hurt THAT much, but it did hurt and I sported a large greeny-red lump on my head for a week or so afterwards.I was not amused, not in the slightest!
I text him at work that day saying the wood was still going I wasn't having it causing me injury-but he insisted he'd use it that weekend (and he did).

Anyway since then he's dropped 'jokes' about this a few times. Eg today texting 'if you do housework in the bedroom, try to not knock wood over :p' and keeps saying that I should have seen the wood as I opened the door , not his fault.
I do have a sense of humour, honest I just think that when it comes to something hurting me because of his laziness, it isn't a laughing matter.
I've been a bit harsh regarding today's text-I've text him back asking would he still find it funny if that wood had have knocked him out?Because I've repeatedly told him I'm not amused by injuries I get because of the state of his house. Harsh?
I'm very ready to be told IABU and I'm ready to apologise to him.

Oh lighten up. You weren't seriously hurt.

Build your own wardrobe.

The jokes would annoy me, but I wouldn't have waited around for him to build the wardrobe in the first place. Why couldn't you build it?

I wouldn't appreciate the jokes so YANBU.

It sounds like he feels guilty that his actions cause you to get hurt, so is trying to mitigate this by joking about it. I can see why you don't find it funny, but he might not be being mean, just trying to diffuse a situation which has got a little bit heated by the sounds of things.

Why didnt you just buy a wardrobe?

I don't think I'd find that joke funny more than once, so YANBU to be annoyed. No, it's not a big deal, but I would find it weird and tiresome that he has brought it back up several times. Maybe he feels guilty?

Or, what DoJo said.

Send the wood back and buy yourself a wardrobe. I'm serious.

If I waited for my husband to begin the job of crafting and building something like that I would probably be waiting for the rest of my life. He would start out with all good intentions and buy all the stuff. However, not only does he rarely have the time, but he just really wasn't born to do DIY at all.

slimjiminy I wouldn't know where to start building a wardrobe! I wanted to buy one but he didn't want that-would rather build it.

DoJo likely I suppose-we do joke about things a lot-I just am a bit inflexible when it comes to physical injuries as opposed to anything else , I guess!
This is a bit different, but his house has a lot of things wrong with it and this isn't the first time I've been hurt due to things that he's promised to fix.

YoureBeingaSillyBilly sorry, mentioned above-I wanted to buy a wardrobe, he wouldn't have me buying one when he's capable of building one hence I bought the wood and he said he'd build one.

Thanks for the replies all :)

Its OHs ridiculous sense of humour that makes me smile everyday, lighten up!!

Well, regardless of how 'hurt' you may have been, I don't see him as being wit of the century, to be honest. He's probably just trying to deflect the focus of him having been indirectly responsible.

That said, I think I have a pretty good sense of humour on the whole (mind you, wouldn't everyone say that about themselves?) but I confess to getting pretty frosty with any supposed wag who attempts to make jokes about my recent broken leg. It was a very severe break and, 11 months on, I'm still not fully mobile. Just cannot laugh about it, I'm afraid, and I'm not convinced I ever will. Still get a bit teary about it at times, actually.

Sorry xpost

Maybe it is him feeling guilty thanks keatsiepie
Well he's exactly like that topseyt ..But he's very good at building &fixing things, so gets annoyed if I suggest buying them or getting someone else to fix them. He thinks I'm accusing him of being incapable -I'm not!Just trying to save him time.

I joke about all sorts of things that others wouldn't though... The times he's really screwed up-and yes It's often my way of getting over them. He does it with me too, we do bond over our humour and always have. Which is one reason I thought that telling him I didn't find this funny, once, would have been enough :)
I know It's not a big deal. Wanted others opinions regardless so thanks all ;)

Clam that's what I'm like. I can laugh about most things but sometimes one or two things I will not find funny and feel I never will!

Hope your leg sorts out!

I suppose so quietbatperson the issue isn't the injury or the jokes per se It's that I've told him I don't find it funny, and he continues.

I just want to forget about it to be honest because there's a fair few injuries I've sustained because of his house being in disrepair and if I over-think them I'd likely be more annoyed with him!

The fact that he seems to find it funny is making it worse. I think it should be the injured/hurt party's choice (as with your broken legs!) to decide whether they joke about it or not, not anybody else's. :)

No I haven't and you're right, I should do and I will do-good advice!

Oh god, this all sounds a bit over-serious. I mean, if somebody laughed at me in the ~5 minutes after such an injury occurred, of course I'd be livid, but after that it's time to lighten up about the whole thing, and obviously get rid of the wood.

But a) you should have just bought a wardrobe, and b) either one of you should have laid the bloody wood flat. It CAN'T be so heavy that you couldn't manage that, right?

brownsauce yes I know we should, he insisted on not having me buy one when he'd rather make one.. Yes we could have laid it flat but there isn't any room to do so, I wouldn't have wanted it laid flat in the middle of the living room or kitchen and there isn't any room upstairs at all whilst work's being done.

And yes quietbatperson that's what had got me wanting to ask opinions lol.
I'd already said I didn't find it funny-plus I really don't like being injured unnecessarily (in this case because DP was not doing as he promised when I wanted to just BUY a wardrobe lol) and don't think It's something to laugh at.

? It isn't my house, It's his. Literally.
