I seem to have spent the whole day cleaning and tidying. The living room was pristine (by my standards anyway) the kitchen ws clean with a swept and mopped floor, the washing was all done and in a pile waiting to be sorted.

I went for a well deserved bath and left dp in charge. An hour later

  • there is dried rice all over kitchen floor - seems ds thought it was fun to play with and dp didn't notice in time because he was helping dd write in anglo-saxon runes Confused
  • Living room is covered in toys - lego, duplo, sticklebricks, cars, teddies and last but not least a packet of sequins -spread about the floor
  • clean piles of washing have been spread about the place and unfolded and in a complete mess

AIBU to send dp to off licence with demands for wine and admit defeat. I don't know why I bother doing anything it seems such an uphill struggle. Everything returns to being a complete mess almost at once and no one cares except me it seems,

Uabu - you need chocolate AND wine - only then yanbu.

ooerrmissus · 03/05/2014 19:58

A bottle at least, definitely.

wowfudge · 03/05/2014 20:00

Go for it - you deserve it. And chocolate.

Ploppy16 · 03/05/2014 20:01

Why are you even asking?? I would have necked half a bottle without even noticing!
In your DH's defence, runes/ogham script do need quite a bit of concentration....

Drink up. I find a slight wine haze helps greatly.

Matildasmam22 · 03/05/2014 20:01

I feel your pain. I'm sat looking at the mess eating the wicked dc's Easter eggs. Have a glass for me Wine

I'm sitting in chaos with vodka in hand.

It helps Wink

Drgonzosattorney · 03/05/2014 20:02

Yabu! As Ooermissus says, a bottle of wine.

magimedi · 03/05/2014 20:02

YABVU to post this in AIBU - of course you are not being fucking well |U.

Get stuck into that Wine & enjoy yourself.

LoveBeingCantThinkOfAName · 03/05/2014 20:02

Dp has just gone for me for no reason other than I finished the last one so you deserve a vat

NannyPlumIsMyIdol · 03/05/2014 20:04

YANBU, I'm ignoring the bombsite around me too

If that was my dh, he'd be tidying it up after he'd gone to the offy to get my Wine

Cheers!

I feel your pain. My dh is incapable of finishing any domestic job. He cooks tea and leaves the dirty pans on the cooker. He empties the dishwasher and leaves the stuff strewn about the kitchen rather than put it all away. He tidies drawers and leaves the contents all over the kitchen - that's what the bloody drawer is for. Hmm

I realise I sound ungrateful but when they make more work than the job originally entailed you might as well do it yourself.
