To have done absolutely nothing today?

[lazylumpylou]

I work in A&E and this has been my first day off since 20th Dec. All I wanted to do today was look through the kids presents, build their Lego, eat rubbish and drink Prosecco . I missed the kids opening a lot of gifts from family as I'd already left for work so wasn't sure what they'd got.
DH is in a major huff as he says he's been so bored on his own with the kids for the last 5 days since he's been off and thought we might have done something fun today.
I see photos of everyone on SM 'so over Xmas' 'out for a family day' etc and he's made me feel guilty. I'm off tomorrow too so can do something altogether then.
AIBU or is he?

Neither of you is unreasonable. You wanted to rest and spend time at home after a week at work, he is going stir crazy from being stuck at home.

Going out tomorrow seems like a fair compromise. Try to enjoy the day and don't let his bad mood get you down. :)

I think we'll head into town tomorrow and check out the Christmas Village. I just wasn't up for it today! Thanks for replying

After a full week at work, you need some down time. Many people have enjoyed lots of time off over the festive period, without guilt.

It is also difficult for partners at this time of year, if they work regular hours. Working in the NHS is a different world entirely.

Neither of you are unreasonable.
In your situation, I would have stayed in with the kids who wanted to stay in and do nothing. And dh could have gone out with the kids who wanted to go out.

He ended up washing the car! It's fine, I totally get he's fed up as he's been on his own for days with the kids and that can get tedious! Hopefully tomorrow we'll get out and about!
