To be pissed off with DH regarding me cracking the boot lid down on DD's head

I had been shopping earlier today for DH as myself and DD (2) are going away at the weekend with some friends as a belated birthday treat.

I came back from shopping, got DD out of the car and started unloading from the boot, at this point DHs niece walked out of MILs house stomped to her car and drove off (we don't get on and we live next door to MIL). I guessed that DH was probably at MILs having a cup of tea and in the usual fashion, didn't bother to come out to help me with bags.

Anyway my hands were absolutely full with shopping bags, I had hold of DDs hand and tight I had her pulled back but as I shut the boot down she was just there, I feel terrible but I feelissed off also that DH didn't bother to come out and help me.

I blew up at him and just said yet again you've watched me struggle on and his defence was that he didn't see me come into the yard, I find this hard to believe as he has a clear view of the yard from where he sits and the fact that his niece walked out the minute after I got there and the fact that I was due back anyway told me differently.

He won't talk to me now and has disappeared out of the house, I've calmed down and I feel bad for blowing up at him but I'm so upset that I always have to struggle on with everything! It's a culmination of things. Obviously it wasn't his fault that I closed the lid on her head but if he'd come out to help me it probably wouldn't have happened.

She's been down to A&E checked her over and thank goodness, she's fipme but I still feel so bad and even worse now that he won't speak to me.

How do you know where he was sitting.And how does your DN leaving the househave any nearing on anything Confused

Next time pop a head in and say "I'm back, can you give me a hand with the shopping"
That's what dh does if I'm around and I do if dh is around. Unless there's something we can't leave then we do.

Was he at work when you went shopping?

If no & he could either have gone shopping himself or looked after his daughter then ltb!

Well it sounds as if your problems are way bigger than this, mainly that you have a lazy useless DH who won't help you.

PND was attention seeking? Shock

You shouldn't have to 'ask for help with the shopping'. It's equally his responsibility to do it. At the very least I'd have left DD with him. He sounds useless and like you let him get away with it for so long and then blow up about something like this, which makes you look like the unreasonable one. Relationship needs a big rethink.

Next time take dd in and ask "which would you prefer looking after dd or unloading the shopping?"

gamerchick · 26/06/2015 08:36

I'm wondering why you didn't leave the bairn with him while you went shopping.

Are you saying that he refuses to do the food shop or mucks in?

Does he not eat? Because that's the only reason I can think of that would even come close to excusing his behaviour.

OP, it sounds like you have a man child not a partner. He needs to pull his weight and quite frankly his mother needs to but out. My MIL wouldn't dare criticise for asking DH to pull his weight (that's what it is, not helping you out). When my mother tries to she gets a sharp piss off.

I'd be moving house there's no way I could live that close to my parents or in-laws.

His family sounds horrible, he doesn't acknowledge serious health issues (PND), he doesn't pitch in at home. What's he for?
