my partner just got home from his 13 hours out at work he gets home and eats the dinner I prepared for him. I told him my back was hurting so I was going to lay down on the sofa before I took the kids for a bath. My partner then finished his dinner and called the kids to go upstairs with him to have a bath . I layed down for 10 mins then went upstairs to find both the kids in the bath and my partner sat on the toilet next to the bath looking at Facebook on his phone. He allowed the kids to play for a bit before he washed them and washed there Hair. After getting the kids out the bath I told him to make the kids beds. He goes in to make them but sits on his phone watching videos for 5 mins before making the beds he then gets the kids pullups and our youngest her bottle.

We normally take turns getting the kids to bed tonight was ment to be my night and he did all the prep work for me. All I have done is had a go at him about going on Facebook while he was bathing the kids and told him he doesn't care about me or the kids . Am I Being Unreasonable ?? Was he just trying to be helpful and my hormones making me see otherwise

I don't understand your issue.

Your dp bathed and put the dc to bed Confused you just don't like that it wasn't done your way. It's done the dc are in bed

Maybe find something else to get worked up over.........

Ha! Reverse I say!

PandorasXbox · 17/08/2017 22:08

What?

What's he done wrong?

Starlighter · 17/08/2017 22:10

I don't get it?? Confused what did he do wrong?

CockacidalManiac · 17/08/2017 22:11

Yeah, has to be a reverse. Otherwise, why the remarks about how long he'd been at work?

PollyFlint · 17/08/2017 22:11

This is either a reverse or you're completely mad.

Justanothermummy1 · 17/08/2017 22:11

It was the fact he was sat on Facebook while the kids were playing in the bath and then again when I told him to make there beds. I just wish he wouldn't go on his phone when he does these things.

Eh ? Hmm

LovingLola · 17/08/2017 22:13

I am presuming that it is the fact that he could not put his phone out of his hands for an hour while he was attending to his children.
That would bug the shit out of me too op.

PinkHeart5911 · 17/08/2017 22:13

So he was on Facebook, he was still in the room while the children were in the bath and they were no doubt playing happily. It's not like they were unattended

Have you ever tried chilling out a bit?

LoyaltyAndLobster · 17/08/2017 22:14

OP I don't get what he has done wrong? He bathed the kids and put them to bed.

Jellycatspyjamas · 17/08/2017 22:15

If you're not doing the task I don't think you can complain much about the manner in which it's done. There was always the option for you to take over and give your kids your full attention if that's the issue.

Ameliablue · 17/08/2017 22:15

Assuming it's not a tiny baby that should have been held, yabu.

supermoon100 · 17/08/2017 22:16

being on screens rather than attending to your kids having a bath is a pretty poor role model but then I wouldn't be telling him what to do

PandorasXbox · 17/08/2017 22:17

He's been at work for 13 hours, comes home and baths the kids and makes the beds even though it was your turn tonight but because he had a quick look on FB you're upset? Are you always like this with him?

LovingLola · 17/08/2017 22:19

He's been at work for 13 hours. And then, instead of playing with and talking to his children while they are in the bath, he is on FB.
Yep. Totally with you on this one op.
