To burst into tears when my husband said he was going to bring the washing in?

[LadySusanVernon]

Toddler got me up at 5am. We have been on the go All Bloody Day - he hasn't stopped! Including a 2 mile forced march/run to the dentists, where he howled and wouldn't let the charming and lovely dentist anywhere near him.

This was after manic playgroup, but before racing around the park for hours demanding to be pushed on the swings, lifted onto the big boy slide etc etc etc. Then we eventually got home and I made him tea, sorted out the washing up, got dinner going for us later. And then he wouldn't go to sleep! Went upstairs at usual time, seemed sleepy, but then we had an hour of shenanigans!

Then my husband came home and said he'd get the washing in now rather than chat to me for longer while I cooked and get it in later, and it just felt like the saddest thing in the world. (He hadn't said it in a horrible way or anything, btw).

Anyone else get like this after a long day?

Did you let him know how you were feeling?

You probably are just exhausted after such a hectic day. Have your dinner, put DS to bed and just relax with DH. It will be better tomorrow

Aww! He was probably trying to be helpful.

Hope you are feeling better now. The toddler years can be trying.

Sometimes everything seems personal when you are feeling shit. Was he just trying to get everything sorted and help?

Wow! What kind of man gets home from work and then is evil and thoughtless enough to go and get the washing in himself, instead of leaving it for you to get in after cooking dinner?

LTB.

Way to misread the tone Grunt
OP I burst into tears after a similar day when some Romany gipsies trotted past. They just looked so free and unemcumbered.

YABU. He was only trying to help. There's probably a multitude of people who have had worse days than yours and had to bring the washing in themselves. Have a wine.

POAS!!!

Oh my - I really hope you have some 'time out' planned for the weekend Send the boys out for the day and just do something nice for yourself

You sound very tired and (dare I say it) hormonal?

It's the weekend tomorrow, can you get DH to take whirlwind toddler out for the day while you sleep?

I hate it when my DH gets the washing in (about once a year) cos he scrunches up everything . I do it to order. Scrunchables like underwear, pj's, nighties at bottom of basket and stuff that could do with an iron -but-won't-get-ironed-cos-I-can't-be-arsed- is carefully folded on top of the basket.

oops - hyphen fail

What an utter bastard.

And my utter bastard got home, found we were out at the shop (still, thanks to the 3 year old dawdling, needing a nappy change, lying on the floor refusing to move etc eyc). - came out to meet us on the walk back from the shop and then had the utter audacity to push the loaded buggy for me. I almost cried.... Seriously I did.

3yo has been an utter nightmare today - been to play group where she tried to kick other children, library where she was running around the grown up books annoying people then kicked off when I had to remove her, been generally whingy and unpleasant to her little sister and finally refused to let daddy put her to bed.

YANBU and you have my sympathies....

On the flip side he can talk to you later when he would have been fetching it in if he hadn't done it now. You will still have the same amount of time, just later - and possibly when you aren't preoccupied by something else.

If there are two jobs to do and limited time together it makes sense to do the jobs at the same time.

YANBU to burst into tears at anything though - it sounds like one of those days. I hope tomorrow is better.

I had a massive strop at my husband the other day because he put the avocado in the salad rather than asking me if I wanted it separately.

I am pregnant though.... Any chance you might be?

I stropped this morning because DH had the audacity to get up and help when DD wet the bed at 4.30! I then got my period, which explained it. DH came home with chocolate and wine. Love him!

I feel like crying and do quite regularly these days. I have an active 3yr old DS and I'm permanently exhausted.

He has me up at about 5am every bloody day and I feel like I never stop or have a break.
I'm a single mum and DS is with me 24/7.

Everything makes me cry these days, bad stuff and good stuff (sometimes just an advert on tv will do it!!)

YANBU, exhaustion is so debilitating.

I know hes a great bloke really, I wasnt actually complaining! Should have put in the thread title.

Its alright I'm leaving at 7am tomorrow for work - I can have a nice break!
