Our boiler has broken. Ive been chasing and arranging boilerman (couldnt repair it) and the manufacturer (coming tomorrow). Last night dh had his works christmas night out. Due to the cold, I took the kids to my parents down the street from 2pm sat and we have just come back.

Dh was back and forth there and our house, using it for a shower etc, but slept in our cold house last night.

Aside from the time between him leaving for his night out and comibg back this morning (4.30pm-11am) he has done fuck all for the kids. He also told me yesterday tha he would come back up the house and give it a good tidy before his night out.

Today he has done nothing for the kids, just fannied around doing nothing. Ive been on the go until we got back home tonight.

Walked in the door and the place is a bombsite. I asked him what he did yesterday and he just faffed on with some tools and watched tv.

Honestly couldnt care about the timings he was out but it would gave been nice to have a short break today after he come down.

Aibu?

When we got home tonight and spoke about the mess he took himself off to tidy the kids room so I went in and insisted we swap. That he could do suppr and bedtime with the kids, he had his chance to tidy yesterday - he was the one who said it. I didnt ask him to come and do it.

Has he always been this useless?

Hoenstly no. Its normally very 50 50. Which is why today ive been able to console myself with "but at least it will be tidy" wheb thinking about coming back to a freezing house.

Why did you ask him to swap? It's sounds like you're being a bit of a martyr

NapQueen · 10/12/2017 19:23

I asked him to swap because by this point i had done everything the kids needed or wanted for the past 27 hours. And he had done zero. So on balance I wanted out of the supper and bedtime part. I wanted him to do that.

And I didnt want his lazy actions yesterday to give him another excuse to tuck himself away for another hour or so.

If he's not usually useless then maybe he had a hangover and you can overlook it....?
