to expect oh to either go to dd2 when she cries or to stay up and chat to me whilst I iron his shirts.

[Beenleigh]

so he came home at about 9pm, I got dinner on table pretty quick, I cleared up dinner, then started to iron his shirts in front of tv. He is stressed because of some solvable bank/mortgage cock-up. I am upset because I had some sad news today. I told him that I had found it a bit embarassing him telling my Dad about how upset he had been about the neighbours erecting a massive shed in THEIR garden (I mean wtf?). He got in a major strop, ignored my apology, and went to bed in a foul mood.
DD2 woken up twice, and I have been up to her both times.
His bloody lazy mother is coming tomorrow morning to be waited on hand and foot, by........ME, and I won't see him again properly until Sunday evening.

I wouldn't have bothered ironing shirts if I'dbeen greeted with that atmosphere.

I don't iron shirts full stop, though. (I'm a lazy bugger)

I certainly don't wait on anyone hand and foot. That includes my 3 yr old.

I am always happy to make dinner if I've been around most of the day and dp's been at work or is working late.

But then he will be the one clearing up after. Because that's the rule.

And at night I'll pretend to be asleep if dd2 wakes up and I've already got up to her. (I think that's fair... I work too)

notnow - how do you manage to not iron shirt? [impressed]

I am sahm, so appreciate that the lions share of household jobs are mine. I think that he gets away more lightly than he should most of the time though, and he NEVER goes to dc in the night, NEVER!!! It's more that I would have liked him to sit up with me and got over the fact that I'd pissed him off rather than going off in a huff.
I can;t iron his shirts now, am too annoyed

NappyAddict - I iron my shirts!

ooooooooooh
