To want to murder my Husband

24 replies

corrianderisevil · 01/10/2017 16:43

Most days he is absolutely fantastic, my rock, my soulmate and I certainly couldn't raise our 3 small children without him.

Other days (like today) he is unbelievably lazy and I want to kill him.

That is all.

YANBU - perfectly reasonable reaction to married life! Grin

Oh jolly good. He's slightly redeemed himself in the last 5 minutes by running the bath for the kids.....maybe he can sense my rage

You're going to get flamed for violence any minute - I'd put on your hard hat and buckle your seatbelt OP!

Yawning - I know I did consider that but I'm just keeping it real! I'm not in the mood for do-gooders today who can't see that it's a lighthearted post obvs!

Totally agree but there is also a need for ironing school uniforms, feeding the kids, changing nappies and not letting them play in a shit filled nappy for 20 mins. He is quite happy watching me run around like a blue-arsed fly while he watches tv

But if you murder him you definitley have no chance of him helping out then!

Got to weigh up the pros and cons of your plans 😜

I read somewhere, ages ago. that Sarah Jessica Parker allows herself 10 min every day to HATE Matthew Broderick. KTB!

BusterGonad · 01/10/2017 17:23

I agree with another poster, that's married life for you! 😂 one day you adore them and the next you want to cut them from ear to ear with a blunt rusty knife!

Mummyoflittledragon · 01/10/2017 17:30

Blunt, rusty knife. Now that's unreasonable. I'm thinking cut throat razor a la Sweeny Todd.

grannytomine · 01/10/2017 17:32

No, don't do it. Think of the children! Who will care for them with him dead and you locked up? Dump the baby on his lap, dirty nappy and all, put your hand to your head and say you're ill and let him get on with it.

Now snoring that is worth killing for in my book and I think you should be able to get away with it as well.

Ekphrasis · 01/10/2017 17:32

Oh I hear you op.

I'm really awful at the mo. Dh broke his ankle a few weeks ago. Cue more utterly not doing anything at the weekends unless emergency- however appears to be able to go away to 40th parties in barns in the country side and go out to meet people in town this afternoon. I know he has to put his leg up and rest as much as possible and is working full time, but it's highlighted how lazy he can be as this weekend hasn't been any different to non broken ones! I've got crippling pregnancy tiredness which has made rage pop up a bit more. Raised hackles achieved a few achievable things before he went. Not a very doting wife, I know.

IshouldntcareaboutthisbutIdo · 01/10/2017 17:38

OP - think that's the problem - when the really nice ones are replaced at the drop of a hat, even momentarily but Mr Lazy it makes your blood boil... perfectly normal (I hope) time for Wine?

IshouldntcareaboutthisbutIdo · 01/10/2017 17:39

I meant "by Mr Lazy, oops!

I think they are just programmed to do the very bare minimum aren't they. Anything extra is a blessing. A broken ankle and a pregnancy is definitely rage-inducing. Well done for not murdering him already

OP posts:
Sayyouwill · 01/10/2017 17:44

I'm with ya. I've done everything today and only asked DH to do the dishes. He whinged all the way through and is now laying down

Ishould I think you've absolutely hit the nail on the head there - it's the deviation from the norm that induces the rage. One minute you have a team player, the next minute he's the shittest player on the pitch

OP posts:
RandomMess · 01/10/2017 17:51

Why haven't you told him to get on and help parenting? Of course he knows what needs doing but he isn't going to whilst you are running around doing it all!

corrianderisevil · 01/10/2017 17:52

Oh believe me random I have told him. Don't you worry about that.

Yay another making fun of dv thread

TheFifthKey · 01/10/2017 18:05

You could raise three small children without him, you know. Plenty of us do similar. And we don't have to fall on our knees with gratitude at someone running a bath either. Life's a lot simpler.

Carlz84 · 01/10/2017 18:06

I feel your pain! Me, DH and my baby are all having a lazy day but my version of a lazy day is to put so washes on, sort the kitchen, potter around the house etc when his is just to sit on his arse all day long. Men really are programmed differently aren't they 😡! X

HidingBehindTheWallpaper · 01/10/2017 18:07

I think 20 minutes is the new record.

BusterGonad · 01/10/2017 19:38

I've actually had a lovely day, we all went out for a pub lunch with two of my husbands new friends, we don't do this often so for me today was a lovely day. Husband did well today!!! 😂
