Ok genuine AIBU and quite willing to accept I am. Just want to know if other posters would find this belittling.
This time last year I was the main 'housework' person as a SAHM but I have spent the last year doing a very intensive college course which has involved me being out the house 4 days a week and studying / doing homework on the others. This has meant DP has taken over the majority of the housework.
Anyway it's half term, I'm coming to the end of my course and have some time so while DP was upstairs I started cleaning the kitchen, which always involves emptying washing machine, putting wash on etc. We go through a lot of washing in this house!
So while I'm cleaning DP comes down and starts sorting a pile of wet clothes, "was just about to do that" I say but leave DP to it.
I do a few other bits and then go to empty the dryer at which point DP stops me and says they are doing it, I argue back no I was doing the kitchen it's fine. DP then says "it's my job I'll do it" and after a back and forth of arguing over who was doing the washing (madness I know) and DP telling me to do the living room instead I storm off.
Is it just me who finds it really belittling to be a) stopped from doing a job I did for 7 years precious quite fine and b) to have my jobs dictated to me like a child?
I am quite possibly overreacting on this as feeling quite distanced from my family with all the studying I've been doing and just wanted to do some "mumsy" things.
It definitely wasn't a nice, I'll do it have a break stopping me by the way but a I'm doing this so find something else.
So AIBU?
Or should that be am I being over emotional and touchy?
