Yes I probably am being unreasonable, but I'm so pissed off re dh and his parents

So, I am 33 weeks pregnant.

Due to money/my older ds, dh and I have never been away alone together. No honeymoon, no overnight stays anywhere.

I have decided I want to go away to a nice hotel overnight next Friday. I'll be 34 weeks pregnant and ds decided to turn up at 36 weeks, so this is our last chance as I don't want to be away from home after that really just incase it all kicks off. DS goes to his fathers house EOW, and this is the last time he'll be away before the baby is here. It's also out third anniversary that day. Reasonable to want I go away, right?

I posted a while ago about PIL booking visits to come and stay on iCal without asking first. Well, talking about hotels to dh last night, he looks at the calendar and guess fucking what? PIL are down that day/night.

So obviously we can't go as dhs can't miss seeing them (they dot stay with us, they stay in a b&b as our flat is too small).

They have booked hotel and can't change date and dh wouldn't want them to anyway.

Am thinking of just booking the hotel anyway and going myself and sayig he can come if he wants or he can stay here wih his mum and dad. I'm tired, pissed off and I want a break from these four walls.

Go ahead and call me a cow.

He is now also in charge of doing the washing up after dinner, instead of just leaving it all in the sink for me to do the next day AND he's cooking dinner at weekends.

I was like the fuckig terminator last night.

(although am now on route to the hosptal to argue my case for a section, so tryin to channel Arnie again)

What did thou do/say?!

Thou?! I didn't type that!!!

He got in from work, I sat him down and said "right, I am really not happy and these are the reasons why and this is how things are going to change. No arguments, no sulking".

Then I told him what I wasn't happy with and how we could move forward. Then I flounced off for a bath.

When I came back, he was doing ds homework with him, and was just about to start washing up.

I even got a cup of tea in bed this morning.

I basically spoke to him as I do my 11 year old when he's put of line.

But it worked.

I'm going to give you the same advice I gave you last time. Book every weekend and holiday as busy. And add the comment 'please check with me before booking'.

innisglas · 13/02/2014 14:26

Well done. Your husband sounds lovely but you were totally right

waltermittymissus · 13/02/2014 16:34
