Dressing Gown of Doom Summer Heatwave Edition

9 replies

Littlemissdaredevil · 08/08/2020 19:55

We have now moved house and fortunately the dressing gown of doom is in a bin bag as I’m waiting for DH to sort his shit out.

Why oh why when DH is ill does he feel like we should treat him like he’s on his deathbed and the whole worlds should stop?

I’m cooking dinner whilst DH is outside with DC in the garden in the shade. He sudden appears at the door and wails - I don’t feel well, at full volume. DD get pushed through the kitchen door towards me and he runs upstairs with baby DS. I finish cooking dinner and sit down to eat it with DD and DH appears with DS in the door shouting you knew I was ill and hands crying DS to me and runs to the bathroom. I think FFS why did you run upstairs with DS if you were feeling so ill you couldn’t look after him for 5 mins. I hear the shower going so I wonder if DH has vomited (he hasn’t) I sit down with DD and eat dinner whilst BFing DS. DH appears 10 mins later looks at dinner and says is that it? Then helps himself to a large portion of dinner. I give DD and DS a bath and put them both to bed.

AIBU to think that if you only have a bowl of cereal and two large bags of sweets to eat all day and then spend most of the day outside in the sun, don’t wear sunscreen and don’t take any water with you to drink then you may feel unwell!

He sounds like a drama queen demanding attention and then pouting and crying because he isn’t getting it

What Soubriquet said. Your thread title made me laugh though.😁

Yes you absolutely have a 3rd child... man-child is not an urban myth. welcome to parenting with a male partner!

I have a theory that this carry-on gets worse when there’s a baby in the house. They have to compete with the baby.

DH is asleep in the spare room snorting loudly.

I have been able to make a diagnosis! DH suffering from tiredness not plague!

Don’t know why he is so tired as I’m breastfeeding so I’m is doing all the night feeds for DS, and DD sleeps like a log for 11 hours every night.

It will be interesting to see if he is ‘ill’ tomorrow considering there is DIY that needs to be done...

Im thinking that DH has up all night playing his computer again which may have caused this illness. The broadband may have to develop a ‘fault’ tonight and a few nights this week to test my theory.

Just before everyone jumps on me. DH does work FT and leaves the house at 8am and is back by 6pm (sometimes 5pm). He’s sleeping in the spare room so that he can get a decent nights sleep (the reality is that I made him sleep in the spare room as I cant stand the dramatic over the top moaning that happens if he even gets woken once a night)

Honestly, how can you be bothered with this? Life’s too short...

He sounds so tedious.

Pesimistic · 08/08/2020 20:58

He sounds like a fucking prick of I'm honest, I think women need to set up cameras round the house so their twatty husbands can watch them selves back and see how vile they are

My2catsarefab · 08/08/2020 21:02

C'mon now OP we all know he can't possibly have been ill if he did not don the Dressing Gown Of Doom and perform the Slipper Shlepp all day. He was pretending!
