Totally irrational Yuletide anger this way!

[MotherOfBeagles]

So I know this is ridiculous but I don't care. I'm seriously and cheerfully considering chopping my husbands balls off with a rusty spoon over this.

My son is 7 weeks old today and totally adorable. In order to memorialise his first Christmas I bought him a sickeningly sweet Christmas outfit with dinosaurs wearing Christmas hats on it. Love it.

I then found wrapping paper with dinosaurs wearing christmas hats. Genius.

Perfect picture to treasure forever, my baby boy in his outfit, surrounded by his presents wrapped in special paper, under the tree on Christmas Eve. One to love and always treasure.

Left husband alone and I went to do the food shop this morning. He took the opportunity to wrap my presents. He went in the cupboard and IGNORED the TEN, that's right, TEN open and totally wife appropriate glittery and pretty rolls of wrapping paper and dug to the back for the special dinosaur paper. That's right ladies and gentlemen my douchebag husband used the entire roll to wrap two tiny ass presents - because he's incompetent as well as irritating.

Now I know this irrational. I know my son won't know his first Christmas presents were in rubbish wrapping paper. But I can't take my beautiful themed picture now.

So I'm going to drug the OHs salmon and then cheerfully remove his bollocks.

Anyone else feeling irrational Christmas rage?

Blimey. Not a jury in the world would convict you x

He needs to unwrap them and get ironing. This is exactly like dh would do.

Completely reasonable

Although you can use the paper for the photo after you've opened your presents

My dh told me after I had braved the pit of hell that was m and s that 'oh I didn't get anything for lunch tomorrow as I thought we had something but now I realise we don't oh and the salad isn't nice now'
I'm not going back there you can't make me!! Sob actually dh can go himself the idiot

What the fuck was going on in his tiny brain!!!!!

Grrrrrrrrr. What goes through men's heads?

Can you take the photo of him surrounded by your presents?? No one will know what’s in them...

Dh would do that. You have my immense murderous sympathy. You could artfully scrunch up the cool dinosaur paper around your ds and his gifts, like he's just opened them?

I was going to suggest the same. Just pille your presents around him. I could see my dh doing the same..you would just have to laugh!

I know I'll make it work I'm sure but I had it all planned, I know the size of his gifts and how I was going to position them around the tree =[ childish I know.

His excuse? I didn't think you'd want me to use the open ones and it was at the back so assumed you didn't like it...

littlefishy don't blame you! Tesco was hard enough nm m&s

That's right ladies and gentlemen my douchebag husband used the entire roll to wrap two tiny ass presents - because he's incompetent as well as irritating.

It is only two tiny presents though. You can't exactly pile them round with two! YANBU OP, has he given you any explanation for his ridiculous behaviour?

What a lame excuse ..... “Didn’t think you would want me to use the open ones”

What a TWAT

What a lame excuse ..... “Didn’t think you would want me to use the open ones”

Jesus wept.

So glad I am single!

This would give me the rage! My DH bough fiddly fucking gift tags instead of the simple sticky gift labels I requested. And then when I protested that tags require a lot of faffing he came up with a colour coded bow system...so my mum = 1 green bow, his dad =2 green bows. Raaaaargh! I am not going to my mothers with a colour coded chart scrawled on a post it note in order to dole out gifts correctly.

Bless him, I do love him and his back up plans.

Off with his balls OP!

My Daughter, 19, revising for university exams in January, says she’s too busy to do things such as peeling potatoes or carrots on Christmas Eve or morning for the Big Meal but wants to make cakes and biscuits because they are ‘Christmassy’.

bothears oh my god! What goes through their minds?! I swear they do this shit on purpose and get together somewhere to giggle at the stupid shit they do to drive us nuts

abra maybe it's just not Christmassy enough for her to enjoy those things lol I used to make a ton of chocolate truffles every year at my mums but I still helped with the boring stuff - despite my brothers not having to

I know! I was in the kitchen pouring myself a baileys having resigned myself to mucking about with sticking tags to gifts when he came bounding in, his face all lit up, to tell me his bow plan. I might let him get on with it. Every time I try and wrap our stupidly excited husky comes over to “help”. Not sure whose annoying me more, DH or the dog!

YANBU. I’d have the rage! I’ve got the rage just thinking about it.

My mum and dad are staying at ours. I swear I have no idea how they raised me.. they bicker, and my mum is worse than a child! God help me they’re here till the 27th!

bothears let him crack on! Lol then he can deal with the mayhem on Christmas morning. Also I get the interfering dogs. My two love and despise the wrapping paper rolls so they are dancing around barking at them occasionally lunging in to grab one when feeling brave. Driving me insane and keep waking the baby up!

gizlot oh no! My thoughts are with you! Think you've early some wine and chocolates and hiding in your bedroom for a bit

motheof yes, she loves the roast pots but can’t be expected to do the grunt work preparing them.

I asked DH to get me crackers this morning. He brought Jacobs cream crackers 😡 I have been out and can't get crackers for pulling anywhere. And we have friends coming in 1/2 hour

abra maybe there Just might not be enough for her then! 😈

susie oh no! Bloody useless

Yeah, might miscount...
