To kill my DH when he gets in?!

There has been a wooden garden chair out the front of my house since the first weekend in December when DH put the Christmas lights up...

It is really chunky and heavy and doesn't fit through the gate to the garden, so it has to be carried through the house, in one go so as not to mark everything in its now dirty, damp, slimy legged state. I've asked DH to please carry it through pretty much every day since he left it out there..

Today, I came back home and the bloody chair gives me such rage every time I see it, so I thought, fuck it, it can't be that heavy, I'll do it!

  1. Why has he picked the chunkiest chair we own to do this job, and why not simply a stepladder?! Who f*ing knows!
  1. Yes, it really is that heavy!

So first, I have to remove a box of rubbish he has placed on the chair which promptly the bottom falls out of due to dampness and goes bloody everywhere. Then I notice an elephant ornament I like is secretly broken in the box so I'm already at quite a heightened level of pissed off-ness.

After I've picked all the rubbish up, I realise the door has blown shut and I've locked myself out.

I manage to get the garden gate open and run the spider gauntlet down the side and slip straight over as I step on the slippery decking.

Into dog shit.

And the back door is locked.

And I've Really hurt my wrist.

And the bloody chair is still out the front!!

I go back to the front door and knock and knock till my 3 year old answers the door.

I carry the chair (with hurt wrist) through my hall, into the kitchen and scrape the whole white wall.

I practically throw it out onto the decking and count to ten.

My wrist is now very swollen and kind of purple.

I have dog shit on my coat.

There is rubbish everywhere.

I've destroyed my kitchen wall.

It's all his fault...

WIBU to kill him?!?!

Both about icepack and it being not the most important hand... although as DP often says when dcs jump on his arm or leg or hand or foot, 'It's all right I've got another one' Smile

ThAts not very nice, domestic violence is nothing to joke about, blah blah blah Grin cannot believe nobody has told you off yet.

softlysoftly · 04/02/2014 17:59

"Argh DH x y z happened and it's all your fault!"

DH " we'll I told you to leave it I'd do it"

The proper role of murder is matrimony is sorarely appreciated...

Goldmandra · 04/02/2014 18:08

If he laughs when you tell him about your catalogue of disasters, report back to us and we'll help you plan his slow, painful demise.

I'm sitting now listening to the dripping kitchen tap that DH has been going to fix for about a month now. I HATE WASTING WATER and am considering ignoring his protestations that he will do it tomorrow and getting a plumber in which will make him very, very cross.

glenthebattleostrich · 04/02/2014 18:09

Domestic violence is no joking matter ...

Unfortunate accidents, say slipping on dog shit into a handily placed hedge trimmer whilst you are out having coffee with a fellow mumsnetter or 5 or perhaps slipping down the stairs on one of the 3 year olds toys however are worth discussing.

I've not planned dh's murder honest

Hope your wrist is feeling better and make the git at least buy you take out, wine and chocolate tonight.

HoneyDragon · 04/02/2014 18:12

Last time dh left me in similar circumstances where I couldn't stand the undone job anymore he came home to whole in the wall. From the bathroom to the spare room.

As I had to let him live long enough enough to help me fix it, I. Managed to calm down enough to merely seethe rather than murder.

I'm more than happy to be your alibi.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 04/02/2014 18:14

Oh dear! YANBU!

Burning the chair would have solved the problem a lot quicker though. I also don't understand why he didn't bring the chair straight back through as soon as he'd finished putting the lights up? Confused

I wouldn't have been able to leave in there until February? Blush

BasketzatDawn · 04/02/2014 18:17

Ignore the chair for the sake of marital harmony? I've been doing this for decades - after a bit you'll hardly notice it. Then when the weather dries a bit, put a match to it. Blame global warming if he asks. Sorted!

BasketzatDawn · 04/02/2014 18:18

OP, I do feel for you. Very frustrating - and I hope your wrist okay.

wyldchyld · 04/02/2014 22:04

LTB or murder him. I sanction it completely!

Another vote for getting your wrist checked out, could be an x-ray; even if it doesn't feel broken, purple and swollen is a very bad sign

curiousgeorgie · 04/02/2014 22:13

Why didn't he bring the chair straight in?! My thoughts exactly!

It just slowly got pushed further and further round the side of the house by the front door until I think he thought it was acceptable...

It was not Wink

My wrist feels better, it's quite swollen but I think it's just bruised..

Is he under the patio yet?

Gileswithachainsaw · 04/02/2014 23:04

You have feet you know! Don't need hands to kill him
Wink

AdmiralData · 04/02/2014 23:08

I am so sorry op but I lmao reading your post. Only because it sounds like something that would happen to me!

Please take care of your wrist, I knackered my thumb permanently from not getting it checked out :/

Goldmandra · 04/02/2014 23:25

I am so sorry op but I lmao reading your post.

I hope for his sake that her DH didn't! Shock

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 04/02/2014 23:37

Seeing as wrist is ok, I'd bin house and move Wink

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 05/02/2014 00:29

Use the box of rubbish as tinder and kindling and set the chair on fire! Toast some nice marshmallows over the fire and do "smores" or whatever the americans call them with choccy digestives, and have a nice bottle glass of wine to wash them down.

LadyGardenersQuestionTime · 05/02/2014 00:36

Put your wrist in a large ostentatious sling and declare yourself incapable of doing anythinhpg with that hand for a while especially cook laundry nappies and anything marital. Say ouch regularly.

missingmumxox · 05/02/2014 00:54

Yanbu , and I will tell you for why?

Actually skip that, I am pretty sure there is a tails of the unexpected where a group of unconnected people murder each other spouses for less ... Well maybe not?

Last week I sprained my ankle because I tripped in our porch, asked dh to replace the bulb at Christmas .., yes I am capable of replacing a bulb, I am not capable of undoing the fitting his man hands have tightened...

So Pm me :) lol

Coumarin · 05/02/2014 02:34

So, so much sympathy! Wine Flowers

I would go into all the reasons I empathise with you but I'll work myself up into a seethe and I need to sleep.

You are not alone in your plight.

Monty27 · 05/02/2014 02:38

I'm happily single. Go figure Grin
