So dd lost something important. Me and dd spent ages looking for said item. I was doing housework and tidying at same time. Dh looked for about 5 minutes and than preceded to lecture her on looking after her things. ( fair enough I said same)
After about 4 hours we werelosing hope. Did bedtime for dc and continues search. By than dh was in bed as had to get up early.
I found it in ths last place possible.
Dd was grateful in the morning.
I rang dh to tell him and all he said was where was it. No well done or you must have worked harx to find it etc.
I am feeling so fed up of my efforts going unappreciated. He has even claimed quite recently that I I sit on my arse all day whilst he is at work.
We have 3 dc including an 18 month old so I work probably longer hours as he does really. I do all nightwakings and all bedtimes etc.
I also run a small business but it is suffering as I have so little time to devote to it.

This is the real issue and I guess you being upset about DD losing this item is a reflection/part of it.

On its own, expecting appreciation for finding something is pretty weird IMO. It wouldn't occur to me to ring my DP to tell him something like that, and if he did it to me I'd think he'd lost the plot.

Sorry just been back on after a busy few days.
I had to ring anyway about his car mot. But yes I was just upset he sat watching tv whilst I did a load of searching and tidying and childcare.
He could see how hard I worked and how stressed dd was.
