Whenever the kids come into our room in the morning they always climb on me and fight for cuddles, never DH. He can just lie there reading the news on his phone, literally inches away and be completely undisturbed while I have a toddler on my head and a four year old bouncing on my stomach.
And he doesn’t step in to help. He just sees all this going on and lets it happen. Doesn’t take one of them off me or anything.
So I end up having to get up just to get them off of me. And he stays there in bed.
It’s the same if we’re just sitting watching a film. Both children climbing all over me, fidgeting and squirming, fighting each other. DH is at the other end of the sofa, engrossed. It’s so fucking annoying. The children have zero interest in approaching him because he’s always so disengaged they know they won’t get anywhere. DH says to me to just ignore them and they’ll leave me alone, but I don’t want to ignore them, obviously! I just don’t want to be climbed all over any time I’m not moving.
I’m touched out and exhausted and after a long, wet bank holiday weekend I’m on my last nerve. I’ve made him take the DCs out this morning just so I can sit down without a small human on top of me.
