to be mildly miffed at DP

So I have had a over a week of barely seeing do and he has been in a relatively foul mood when I have - he works nights and is tired and has struggled with the first mother's day since his mum died, especially as work have been running a competition and emailing daily about special mum's. I have had his kids on my own most of the weekend as well as our baby with no help from anyone. He is off today and instead of a nice night spending some time together he has spent all afternoon with his head in the laptop and is now snoring on the sofa

Am a sahm with no income so not able to do anything much (not that he denies me anything, if I asked he would happily hand over his card/put money in my account I just don't feel comfy about it) so am lonely and was looking forward to a nice evening.

He is working for a friend tomorrow and then back to his normal job on Wednesday - am I unreasonable to be miffed and want to wake him up

I understand what you are saying but you can't really say that you can't do anything because you are a sahm. Your OH earns money for both of you so either spend some on yourself ( if you can afford it) or don't complain you can't do much because you don't have any income.

Your money, his money?

Family money.

I'd talk to him about how isolated you feel, after a full weeks work I bet no one's in the mood for a guessing game. You need time too, being a SAHM is just as much (if not more work Grin ) and you need to support each other. Try going out some more too. Thanks Wine
