I am extremely tired- see other thread ' I am so sleep deprived' - DH 'kindly' offered to get up with kids at 7 this am so I could have a 'lie in'. This involved him feeding dd2, ignoring ds and dd1 who kept coming in to me for everyhting they needed until 7.30 when he eventually took them downstairs for breakfast, table laid by me last night. I did have a bit of a rest but eneded up coming downstairs as dd2 was screaming blue murder and thought dh needed help. He was sat at the table with his breakfast coffee the newspaper and the computer while dd2 screamed other dc in front of tv as had been since their own breakfat 40 mins earlier. when i suggested she might be hungry ( hadn't finished usual bottle) I was told she would just have to wait as 'I'm having my breakfst'. I lost it a'a bit' ok quite a bit but took myself off upstairs rather than have a row. then fed dd2, turned tv off and got children upstairs to get dressed, got dressed myself, got dd2 dressed, dc still messing around so dh gets involved by shouting at dc and sitting in the bedroom making lego. i leave him to it as he eveidently plans ( i hear through the shouting and noise of crying dc) to take them for a walk. i sit down for 5 mins, having already explained calmly that if i didn't get a rest this weekend i'm likely to lose it big time and something awful might happen - he comes down and gives me a hard time for sitting down!!!!!! now dc are dressed he has gone to get dressed which will take minimum of 45mins to an hour ( it is the weekend) does this make any sense, i'm desperate but needed to get it off my chest, dh thinks he's being really helpful so i should be grateful , if i shout at him he'll merely revert to usual w/e activity of doing his own thing.
