Got background married, have DS13yo and DS10mo. Have mild PND on meds. Baby is poor sleeper, wakes twice a night and husband works away a lot/ does long hours.

Today feel exhausted but house is a mess/ needs cleaning. I say to DH I feel like having a nap (with the baby) how do u feel about doing the cleaning while I nap? Bearing in mind he has only ever done a full house clean ONCE and does very little cleaning. He agrees.

I feed the baby at 1530 and he falls asleep. I fall asleep after feeding baby. We both wake up at 6.

Goes downstairs, no cleaning done DH playing on phone. Asked him what he been doing he says I cleaned behind the oven and hoovered downstairs. 😡

Feel a bit miffed because he agreed to do cleaning but hasn't done any of the actual house cleaning that you can see, i.e. Internal glass, floor
Mopping, bathrooms/ toilets, general moving away of mess.

Then he says he's doing some gravel raking in the garden and heads outside. So I start cleaning with a cloth in one hand and baby in the other.

Decide to go outside and tell him how
miffed I am that he hasn't done any of the house cleaning and just cleaned behind the oven that no one can even see, and he says "if you've just come out to have a go at me don't bother".

So I ask him why can't I talk to him about this? Why can't I tell him in miffed off? He says same thing so I just go indoors, carry on cleaning for 10 mins ish. Fuming.

Then I decide to go out. Ask DS1 to come into loving with baby for a few mins, tell him DH is in back garden and after that this cartoon ends take baby to DH.

Drive off.

Cue panicking call from DH where are you? When are you coming back? Etc.. told him I'm out and I'll be back in a bit 🙊

I know this isn't exactly worst thing in world but I'm pissed off, DH does very little housework, cooking, shopping, baby minding, clothes organizing, school stuff, nursery stuff etc etc. For once I wouldn't have to clean/ do EVERYTHING and he hasn't done it then told me I can't be mad about it!! AIBU to just check into a hotel for the night and let him just fucking deal with everything?

They do hear the baby when it cries. My DP was awful at getting up to DD -said he didn't hear her. That's until she cried and vomited and some kind of 6th sense kicked in and he reached her cot before I did. Still karma is a bitch as they say and he stood in her vomit........
He was then nudged and kicked after that when DD cried and I didn't want to get up.
I am convinced they play dumb (either sub consciously or consciously) in the hope someone else will pick up the slack. And we women fall for it every time...........

Stood in her vomit in bare feet.......

He just said "I'm going out for diesel"

Half expected him not to come back 😂😂

DH and I once fell out monumentally on the first night of a weekend away. It was that bad, he went home and left me in the hotel.

Awful as it was, if you're going to have an emotional crisis, doing it in a four star hotel is the way to go.

I took myself for cocktails, I went out for dinner, had room service and the TV to myself.
I'm not recommending it or am I? but I've often thought about treating myself to a night away somewhere since then.

Glad the wine's helping mash

I'm tempted! I could take my DVD player watch my favorite shows get cake and wine delivered, maybe a massage!! Oh hell yes

birds I loved that link you posted, I shall save that for future use. It's spot on!

Plan ahead Op, book in advance and it will be cheaper, call at tesco on the way to stock up on wine, chocolate, cake etc, book a hotel near your favorite takeaway or pub then pick a row and go Grin pack the bag in advance too so you have comfy PJ's bubble bath and face pack etc too.
muchas I love my DH I am quite looking forward to his annual birdwatching trip away in sept/oct as i get everything to myself for 2 weeks!
