So I am virtually a sahm with 3dc but I do a bit of avon type work aswell. I was working at a fete today so last night did some prepwork and bedtime. Dishes etc got left.
so I worked till 1pm and came home to washing up still in bowl despite dh being home with dc for 2 hours earlier As he has been ill I cut him some slack so washed up.
Dd winged about wanting to make cake so I said she could but must tidy up after herself. I went out for a meal with friends and dh had a takeaway with kids. I have just returned to plates and dips and leftover food in the lounge and washing up in the bowl.
aibu to go on strike tomorrow and not lift a finger.

yanbu. its mothers day anyway so I dont plan on doing anything...well until the ex goes.home then I have to be mum again.

Just be aware that going on strike on a normal day doesnt seem to work for me or my mum as it still gets left until we get fed up of it and end up doing it anyway! but as its mothers day they should bloody well get busy and leave you in bed Grin

Well I have just had a drink snd pressies from older 2. Youngest has produced a smelly pressie and despite pointed remarks looks like I am changing it. Dh hasn' t budged from his pit.

my lie in meant I was up at half six instead of half 4! lucky me. DS did make me soggy cheerios and burnt toast though. and I got presented with a mothers day card off each of them. DDs is her first ever piece of artwork aswell. Smile

Well you could do nothing today, but unless you tell everyone to bloody well clean up after themselves you may find it all waiting for you on Monday. They will allbe think9ng what a nice easy day it is.

Next time dont come back and just wash up. Tell your dh that you expect that he will be organising the clearing away.

We have the odd slobby day where the dishes stack up but we know we both will have to clear away.
