About DH and TV watching?

We are both home at the moment with the DCs. We've temporarily shut our business due to the lockdown.

DH has decided to binge watch several TV series' that he's already seen before. This in itself is of course fine but firstly he watches them in the living room; we have an open plan downstairs so no one else gets to watch anything downstairs all day. Secondly he watches things so bloody loudly. Thirdly if anyone makes any noise, such as emptying the dishwasher, he 'shhhhushes' us. And lastly he's not really engaging with any of us at all, which is annoying me as I am finding it quite hard not being able to see friends and it'd just be nice to have the occasional conversation with him.

AIBU to be pissed off??

YANBU. Does this mean he is glued to the sofa all day leaving all the housework, childcare etc to you?

EatingIsMyHobby · 09/04/2020 15:26

Yep! Everything is left to me!

He sounds a bit of a fanny tbh is he always so selfish you need to have a word with him.

We've set up an unofficial rota, taking it in turns to select the TV viewing, DH, DS(10), and I. If you don't like what's on, you can go and sit elsewhere. It works!
DS and DH unexpectedly enjoyed The King's Speech, The Boss Baby wasn't as bad as I'd expected, but the Christopher Robin Winnie the Pooh thing did indeed drive me into the kitchen.

That is extremely selfish. Tell him to watch it elsewhere so you all can get to watch something.

Tell him to watch on his phone with headphones and tell him he should be doing equal amounts on the house. I’d vacuum purposely in front of him. What’s he watching?

I just started hoovering a few minutes ago and he sat and put a blanket over his head whilst I did it as apparently he's tired. 😡

Who made him God of the house? Tell him he's a selfish bastard and he needs to learn to share. Have you got kids? He should be ashamed. Go hoover, put music on, dance around with your kids. He gets earphones or he puts up with it.

Whatifitallgoesright · 09/04/2020 16:08

Well he can fuck off out of the shared space to bed then.

Pickupapenguinnnn · 09/04/2020 16:08

Another useless man. So pleased I'm single during this lockdown. I'd lose my shit at him and the remote would be attached to me at all times.

Whatifitallgoesright · 09/04/2020 16:08

Hoover his fucking cock off.

You need a new patio.

Windyatthebeach · 09/04/2020 16:12

Have you got a tent? He can self isolate with his blankie out fucking side.

maras2 · 09/04/2020 16:19

Selfish pig. Shock
Just read this to DH.
He said 'What a child. He needs to get off his bum and be part of the family the lazy shit'

DonnaDarko · 09/04/2020 16:20

Just go in and change the TV channel to something you all want to watch, as a family.

Make sure you do lots of loud, family things in front of him

Do the laundry and then dump all the wet clothes on him

Hehe
