DH's Plans

313 replies

DH has made various plans this weekend. Mostly for Saturday, these include having a Covid Test, visiting his DF and cleaning out his car for resale.

I'm kind of annoyed about it. Firstly, because he seems to always make plans for the weekends, solo plans, without talking to me first. He works FT all week and like most only has weekends off. Every other weekend we have his children to stay and he never makes solo plans for those weekends and expects us all to have family time but it feels like he isn't interested in having family time on the weekends we don't have them to stay, he'd rather do DIY or make solo plans.

So I spend all week looking after our toddler and then come the weekend, would like us to spend time together as a family. So, for example, this Saturday, it's just expected that I'll spend all day looking after our toddler whilst he goes off and does his things. It's really starting to annoy me. AIBU.

Babes..... I'm faaarrrr too invested in this privileged crap I'm hearing here. It's laughable...... some people are never happy.
Oh and btw.... I'm guessing I'm too young to know what Stepford is 😂🙈🤷🏼‍♀️

@TomorrowsPrincess

I get it now!!! If I was your husband i wouldn't want to do anything with you either! He's making 'solo plans' so he doesn't have to spend any time with your moaning arse! He does his fair share and you still moan and nit pick! He sounds pretty decent to me...... I'd treasure him if I was you.... before he goes and finds someone who will! Do you actually show him any appreciation for all the hard work he seems to do? Now get off MN and go pay your lovely husband some proper attention! 😕🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Yip 🤣😂

You sound very needy. If this is your reaction to him going for a Covid test and visiting his father, then How the hell do you act when he goes the pub or something?! 😂
Honest this is the most petty thing I’ve read!

TheEasterBunnies · 27/02/2021 18:04

6pm and he's only just got the car done and that was with my help!

He's the one who gets jealous on the rarest occasions I go out, e.g. the work Christmas do.

So you did something together! Grin

Yes! And we visited his Dad together. But... he popped into Tesco and I asked him to get me some Mini Egg Nest Cakes and he got me a Mini Egg Gateau so I'm definitely LTB now.

Based on all of your posts yabu.

He works full time and only has the weekend to get chores done. If you don't want him spending his free time at the weekend on those jobs every weekend maybe step in and do some of them during the week - by your own admission you have the time - this will free up his time.
