To think I deserve an apology

[Catlady1976]

So dh is a high earner. Used to earn more than 60k so I stopped claiming child benefit. He didn't want to have to complete a tax return.
Back in July 2015 he was out of work for a few months. We didn't claim any benefits as he left of his own volition. I did reclaim child benefit. He fairly soon found work earning approx 59k much to our relief.
Anyway he now has to complete a Tax Return and got quite irate about it. He said me claiming child benefit was a waste of time and I should stop claiming it.
Anyway today he pressed send on his return and we only have to pay back 1/3.
Ainu to have expected an apology and an acknowledgement that I was right to claim it.

Meh. He's just got the arse because filling out tax returns is a pain, people procrastinate over it for months. He's just grumpy and lashing out.

DH used to be in a foul mood when he was doing his because the online system would crash half way through or not let him in in the first place. It's like doing timesheets. It's not intrinsically that hard but it's annoying, people put them off and moan about them. You demanding an apology is a bit like someone popping up and demanding an apology from anyone who moans about doing their timesheets. You're right that it's worth the effort for the cash, but sometimes it's better to just understand they're a bit grumpy about the extra tedious task rather than being self righteous about it, especially when the extra work falls to him.

I know all about putting them off. I do too. Yet he used to moan about me leaving it till the last minute.
I just felt like he was blaming me for wasting his time when clearly I wasn't.
I guess he just thinks he is always right and won't back down when he isn't.
