To be annoyed with DH over this?

[Marmite27]

It’s hot here. The kids had problems falling asleep last night as they were too hot.

We agreed to get a hot chicken from Costco for tea - with the thinking with new potatoes and salad it was an easy meal and not need the oven putting on. He’s just put the new potatoes in the oven because he wants them crispy

Then in the next breath says he’s going to do the ironing, in the usual place, which is directly below the kids rooms.

I should have just left the black out blinds open all day upstairs to see if we could cook the kids in their sleep

Erm, never have I ever even considered that having the oven on for 30 mins or doing a bit of ironing would generate enough heat to drastically heat up the room above.

It’s the sun doing that, not your DH...

Will ironing below someone's bedroom really cause that much of a temperature change?

Doing some ironing in a room below is not going to really change the temperature in the room above!

Are you joking ... really, are you?

Think you’re being picky OP.

Bit unreasonable to be so annoyed yes.
Invest in a fan. Makes all the difference.

Never considered kitchen related heat affecting upstairs rooms, tbh.

What random things to get annoyed about! Poor husband

Doing ironing is wierd in itself.

Your husband is cooking dinner and doing the ironing and you're complaining? YABU

Sorry OP I think YABU as well. I can’t see that either of those is going to have an impact on the temperature of the DC’s room.

😂 seriously?

You're moaning that your husband is cooking and ironing! I have the opposite problem!

Kids might be annoyed with you
AIBU Mum won't let us have crispy potatoes or buy us a fan 😂😂

Fair enough, I think it makes it hot upstairs though!

YABU, but so am I. It's too hot and it makes me cross

(Note, I don't complain when it's snowing/cold)

The oven isn’t going to compete with the sun for heat.

I agree the oven being on can heat up the kitchen, Ive never thought about or noticed it affecting the upstairs rooms. As for the ironing, i would back away slowly before he notices what hes doing and leaves it for me if it were my dh!

Yabu, sorry, I don't think an iron or even an oven will heat the house much. Are you maybe quite sleep deprived so taking it all a bit seriously?

I would be over the moon if my DH sorted dinner and did a bit of ironing!

Put a fan on in the kids room and stop moaning about your DH doing housework

The oven and iron won't increase room temp. Yabu and very weird. There must be a huge backstory and there's other things going on or you might be a bit controlling

Marmite, I think the heat is making you irritable! YABU

Damned if he does damned if he doesn’t.

They do have a fan in their room, but weren’t allowed it on last night as he’d have to move something to plug it in (I’m recovering from a c section so not allowed to move furniture) still I should be grateful the toddler was allowed to leave her vest off
