Well yes IABU but hey.

Bastard ungrateful family have pissed me right off this evening. DD has had to be told a minimum of 3 times to do even the simplest of tasks. DD and DS moaned like fuck about the dinner I'd cooked. DH decided to go to the pub after work and didn't bother to tell me and also booked a bloody dog walker to come round and meet the dog right at dinner time and then forgot about it.

Mid - rant DH also bought up yesterday when I had work to do and he had said he would take the dogs and kids out so I could get on with it, then retracted the offer in the morning leaving me with a shit load of work to do, plus housework, and a dog to walk in the rain.

Essentially I have had no weekend and have had no fekkin help round the house (not that I haven't asked) and I'm feeling REALLY HARD DONE BY.

Arseholes.

Don't need to be told that IABU, now that I've typed it out I know I've over-reacted and probably need to go and apologise for being a mardy cow.

I dont think you are are being unreasonable and sound like they should be apologising to you!

I properly lost my rag and banged doors and turned up my shouty music really loud. Just ever so slightly teenager-ish

I think that sometimes families need to realise that everyone needs to contribute. It shouldn't all fall on one person. I would be pissed off too

WTF! If anything, you under reacted! Do they always treat you with such a lack of respect and consideration? There’s nothing funny about what you’ve posted, OP. It’s horrible.

Well you have got to make your feelings known, otherwise you just get treated like Dobby the House Elf. Just ignore her, she'll get over it!

Well thank you all. I feel less guilty now. I'm not usually a shouty door-slammer so losing my rag is v rare.

I'm a teacher, DH is a TA and it's been a long old term for all four of us. Half term holiday is soon and we need to have a conversation as a family about being more of a team I think (or I might just book myself into a holiday chalet somewhere with the dog for a week).

Do that; let them look after themselves.

YANBU, you sound quite restrained in your response to arseholish and backtracking behaviour. Is this normal or an every day/weekend occurrence? What was your partner’s reason for renegading on his promise the day before? Did he fall ill, have an emergency or just changed his mind?
