I got up at 6.30, just as he was coming to bed. I left for work at 7.30 and worked till 12.30. I came in and dh was on the computer doing something for his ebay business, he had been up 2 hours and the girls got their own breakfast. He asked if I could get their lunch because he was busy with something. Not a problem. He seemed very busy so I decided to take the girls out for a bike ride for an hour to get out of his hair.
When I came back he was doing the washing up, and had put a wash on. He then made a big fuss of going back to the computer to do more work, moaning about how much there was to do. i said he should have left the housework and I would have done it later while he was out in town.
I decided that dd2's saddle needed to be higher, so started to root about for the alun key I thought I needed. He said 'don't expect me to start mechanics now.' I said, 'I'm not, I'm doing it.' He gave me 'a look', to say yeah right, which is bizarre since I usually do this kind of stuff. I discovered I didn't need the alun key (wrong child's bike) so started rooting for the shed key to get the spanners. He said 'seriously, however much you hassle me, I'm not doing it!' WTF?? I ignored and sorted the bike. I then came back in, with the door still open, figuring I could bring the bikes through the house to the shed when he'd gone out otherwise I would have to virtually lift them over his head.
He finished up, and got the shopping bags to go do the weekly shop, and as he went to the car noticed the bikes and exploded saying they would be stolen. I said, how ridiculous, the door was open, we could see them, I was waiting for a convenient moment and we live in a very safe area. We NEVER lock our door, why the hell would our bikes be nicked instantly? He's brought them in and dumped them in the house saying he's expected to do everything again. And stormed out saying he's ALWAYS expected to do EVERYTHING.
I will go back to work at 5.30 till 10.30. I have literally asked him to do NONE of the things he has done, and although he's the main SAHP i would not have given a damn if he'd done FA today as long as it doesn't happen every day.
The kids will be back at school this week, so he will have all that time to do ebay. I do the morning school run so he's got from first thing until 3 if he wants, but he doesn't start until 10.30ish. Seriously, do things whenever the hell you like, but don't shout at me that you have to do everything!
