A trivial one. I asked one thing of DH and hes gone to sleep.

[Poppy146]

I'm at home with small children and DH works nights.

I do virtually all of the housework and the lions share of the childcare given that I'm the one at home and not asleep during the day. I cook for everybody, clean every day, do all of the washing and shopping.

He has two nights off (yesterday and tonight)

I asked him to do one thing in the home and that is to give the living room rug scrub whilst he's off. He said he'd do it last night but "forgot" (forgotten means couldn't wait to get on the xbox)

I then reminded him again today and he said he would do it once the children have gone to bed. He has now fallen asleep on the sofa as of 7.30 because he stayed up until 5 o clock this morning playing the sodding xbox. This annoys me because then he's useless the next afternoon.

He can go to sleep at night, despite his body clock being different. He could go to sleep at any time any place at the click of a finger. He's one of those people.

I will do it myself, but I have a bladder prolapse and uterine decent so it's not a cake walk crawling around on my hands and knees especially when there is an abled body man who lives here too.

We had an unrelated argument this afternoon as a result of him being snappy and rude so perhaps that is clouding my judgement on this one, but I'm quite pissed off.

I asked one thing of him. One thing.

AIBU?

Is this really about the game though? Surely even if he couldn't play video games he wouldn't suddenly become a brilliant dad and start cooking and cleaning instead? Has he always been this lazy? If your DP went golfing 2 days a week no one would be suggesting you hide his golf clubs.

My DP plays video games most days, almost always after the kids are in bed. Probably an hour a day on average. The most he's ever played since becoming a parent is maybe 3 hours, after the kids are in bed.

@ThatUserNamesTakenTryAnother I am glad someone finally read and laughed at that.

YANBU
The problem with gaming is it’s addictive. Bad enough with my 16 DS but very unattractive on a grown man.

Had an ex like this too gaming all night /sleeping all day when not at work.
He also spent an entire paycheck on gaming console etc etc.
I found out after the fact. But that's what his money was for apparently not his DC.

I was the only grown up in that relationship with an extra overgrown teenager.

Op what's the point of this idiot?

Won't be long @pilates before your 16 year old DS qualifies as a "grown man".

Fortunately at 16 even he has the sense not to game until 5 in the morning @wingedharpy.
