OH is going to his friends birthday BBQ today, I was invited to but we spoke about it a few days ago & I suggested he go along with DD whilst I stay home & give the place a spring clean otherwise we would both have to do it tomorrow whilst she's bored & round our ankles. He agreed to this... now all morning his been saying 'do you think I should take DD? I don't know what do you reckon?' Hmm he works 9-5.30 mon-fri so only sees DD in the week for an hour before she goes to bed plus there will be at least 5 other small children at this BBQ (our DD is 13 months, children there range from 1-6) I just think he cba! Would rather go & have a few beers & relax at the BBQ whilst I stay home & clean WITH DD in tow. She'll have more fun at the BBQ but he doesn't seem to care about that. I'm a SAHM who's going back to work next month so mon/fri I have alone with DD doing fun things etc... you'd think he'd WANT to spend an afternoon with her. I'm so pissed off!!

@MaryDollNesbitt I've made a start. We aren't going out so I'm on my second lot of washing, done the washing up, cleaned the bathroom, half tidied the living room and am about to clean the cooker & rest of the kitchen then finish the front room & hoover. Fckn long!

Spring clean? What's that?

I agree, stop looking at your phone. He’s being a dick.

DO NOT pick her up.

What a shame the vacuum is so loud you missed all his messages....

Beautifulblue · 11/08/2018 15:44

I did leave him to it... just finished sorting daughters clothes, whole bin bag for charity! Sitting down with a cuppa now then will tackle the rubbish/recycling & run the hoover round. Then maybe sneak another quick cuppa in Wink maybe even... a shower? Dare I dream.

At the park near where I live, Sunday mornings is daddy time. All the dad's get kicked out to the park with their kids to play for a few hours and presumably give mum a bit of space.

You should tell him that this weekend has been such a success that you have signed him up to a toddler class every weekend. 😆

Barbecue v day at home alone? Definitely not the barbecue for me.

Download baby yoga class leaflets, or worse baby music class leaflets or soft play playgroups and start muttering darkly about never getting a break!

Job done, he’ll realise a few hours with his kid is fucking bliss compared to those! Grin

Send him off every weekend. My dh does this to give me a break - takes ds to park, cafe, supermarket.
