Husband requiring "full assistance" in the mornings?

[questi0n]

My husband told me last night that he will "require full assistance" to get out in the morning as he has some important meetings etc. He often says things like this and I don't take much notice. I have 3 DC to get out to school as it is. Last night I put everything by the door for him, keys, phone headphones and some documents I "must not let him forget". I even hung his suit out and put his shoes by the door because I can't be doing with him asking me where Particular items are in the morning. Only for him to get up and have a flap because no, he's actually cycling to the meetings and apparently wanted a bag packed .

Wouldn't you think that if you could see someone was dealing with 3 children in the mornings, you wouldn't add to the general rush and stress everyone out by shouting ridiculous questions and demands about things you could easily do yourself? This is a man who employs hundreds of people, by the way. Does anyone else have this kind of issue with their husband?

Does he have a book bag?

Can he not sort his own shit out like other adults?
My dh sometimes has meetings, after work plans too that are important, he gets his own clothes out like a big boy, packs his own lunch and finds his own keys. I might offer to make his sandwiches sometimes if I'm doing something in the kitchen otherwise I sit with the cup of tea he has made me and watch him sort his own stuff out.

Totally thought this was going to be a sex thread.

YANBU btw. I guess it's some desperate bid for your attention/reassurance/whatevs, but just no. And not remotely sexy behaviour!

When i read the title i think you meant sex op. Seriously strange comment from a grown man. Ive heard everything now.

If he knew he would be under pressure in the morning then why didnt he just get everything ready the night before? Like you did. Like an adult would.
Knock that shit right on the head.

My OH is a big boy and manages to get himself out in the morning - he even helps with the kids a little. Tell your husband to grow up and put his own shit by the door.

I'd tell my hubby to stick it where the sun doesn't shine 😂 He gets a coffee and he's happy with that 😄

He thinks you're his secretary.

I know "full assistance" it probably sounds like a joke, but he says things like this in all seriousness.

To be honest, two of the DC are secondary age now, but he was exactly the same when they were in reception.

Eh no. I am not sure if I'd laugh or tell him to fuck off if he tried it. I can't say I'd ever imagine he would. Getting yourself ready for work is a normal adult activity and unless an adult has additional special needs they just get on with it and don't need assistance.

I'm actually surprised you did it. What was he doing whilst you were laying his stuff out like he was a kid?,

Zen 😁
Punt (same mind)

You must be kidding! How can you actually fancy and want to shag that giant man child?! I mean, I've heard and used the term before but it's never fitted anyone like it does your husband.

"Require full assistance"?! Pahaha!

YANBU! Remind him you are his wife not an employee. If he can't get himself out the door he can't be much cop running a company! I don't have the same issue because I'm divorcing but my STBXH wouldn't have needed me to help like this.

I thought you were going to say he needs you to give him a wank 😂 sorry

I thought this was going to be rude

Nope don't have that issue with my husband - I couldn't share a house/bed/kids/life with someone who was so inept, never mind someone who thought I worked for them. I'll be honest I also thought full assistance was code for something else

How utterly ridiculous. Tell him to pack his own bag the night before, like any normal person.

Even school kids are able to make sure they have the right books snd PE kit.

How would he react if one of his employees turned up late and dressed inappropriately because 'my wife didn't pack my bag' or even better 'my husband didn't pack my bag'

He sounds insufferable.

Do you've been facilitating this for what, a decade?

Stop the madness.

Seriously?
What a pretentious prat. Mine's an adult so can sort himself out.

Has he only just moved in? You really should've told him that you already have kids, and not left him to 'see someone dealing with three children in the mornings' as you make him sound so self centred and unaware.

So has he put the stuff you left out for him in a bag?

Why didn't you just suggest to him last night that he get his stuff ready there and then, instead of doing it for him (and then moaning here)? Simple communication.
'I'll require full assistance in the morning...'
'Decide what you're wearing and get it out ready now.'
'Oh, okay'.....
'What do you need to take with you? Put it ready now so all you have to do is pick up the bag on the way out the door'
'Good idea'....
All sorted for this time and you've not had t lift a finger. And next time you can string the two sentences together to save time, and the third time a simple 'Get yourself sorted tonight' will be enough.
I'd swear most people actually really enjoy being a martyr to some extent because it fulfils the human need to complain / gossip!

I also thought this was a wank thread ...turns out it's just a wanker thread!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a dirty mind .......
In regards to the assistance he is looking for, tell him to look on airtasker if he wants a PA!
In the meantime make sure you 'forget' to pack some essentials .... forgetting your black socks is very annoying if you wear a suit, so is your headphone adapter, or getting to the bus without a travel card or cash card. Sorry but what wanker

When I read the thread title my assumption was that the husband was a wheelchair user and therefore needed extra help in the morning. But no, he's just an entitled asshat.
