AIBU to be upset at husband over this?

My husband has just gone to bed but has not yet wrapped up a single Christmas present for me. He's bought them just not wrapped them or put under tree. All in carrier bags in his study still. He has however managed to fit in an eight mile run this morning whilst I did the cooking and looked after 3 year old. Am I being unreasonable to be irritated by this?

sorry but YABU. You sound about 6 years old.

Because she's like some consideration? You sound like a miserable sod.

Really, catwoman? I guess you haven't wrapped any presents up then, because it doesn't matter if they're wrapped or not. Smh.

He will probably quickly wrap them before he gives them to you.

Hey catwoman here on earth it's not unreasonable to expect someone who loves and cares for you to put in some fucking effort at Christmas and wrap your gifts. Though on planet CatWank I guess the very fact that he bought gifts is LIKE WOW AMAZEBALLS why should you ever need them wrapped. Quiry or what.

Five2ate · 24/12/2016 23:58

Quirky. Not Quiry.
Yes I have had too much to drink. Good for me Xmas Grin

What does smh mean? Seen it on here a few times and can't figure it out!

If he wraps them before he gives them to you isn't that enough? The fact he's gone to bed early might mean he's stressed by something or not feeling great and has decided to do the wrapping in the morning?

Really? My dh, whilst far from petfect is a wonderful man, husband and father, yet this year I've bought and wrapped my own presents and he's just written the tags out. It doesn't bother me at all, I love Christmas he doesn't, but he makes a real effort every year making it as special as possible for the dc.
