For being pissed off with my DP this morning?

Ok, so he goes to the work xmas party lastnight. Doesn't give me an approximate time when he'll be home, you know like "I shouldn't think I'll be home till after midnight babe"
I'm not a control freak at all, but as I'm 29 weeks pregnant, hormonal and a bit of a worry wart at the moment and he was going to an area of town where there is little to no mobile signal I feel that some indication to stop me being concerned when it turns 2am and there's still no sign would have been nice!
Then the darling rolls in at 2:45 takes his shoes and socks off and trys to go to sleep on the livingroom floor! No hello, no hug, I don't know if he even saw me sitting on the sofa!
So I help him upstairs, help him undress and set his alarms for work.
Then this morning, all the alarms go off, he turns them all off so I knew he heard them but he doesn't get up.
I woke up properly 10 mins before he was supposed to leave the house and realised that he was still asleep. So I wake him up make his sandwiches and roll him a couple of fags.
The clincher is that he somehow took longer than those 10 mins to get dressed and clean his teeth so when he comes downstairs and he's late he snaps at me for not having reminded him to set his alarms before he went to sleep, grabs his bags and heads for the door!
Just as he's half way out of the door he turns around and like it's an after thought he tells me he loves me!

Maybe a little..it is the Xmas party! (I hope he only does this kind of thing once a year) I wouldn't have made him his sandwiches thats for sure!

Yanbu but same thing will be happening in our house this weekend (although dh be out sat night so no work on sunday but the dd's will be up as normal so I'll be dealing with them whilst he either sleeps or gets up but be like a bear with a sore head)

I expect you'll get the obligitoary text apologising later!

moondog · 27/11/2007 08:42

Oh give him a break you miserable old trout.

lokka · 27/11/2007 08:48

yeh..i think it's something we'll all be suffering around now and there'll be countless threads on it. But when we have OUR Xmas parties who'll be waking up the next day, feeding babies and making a cooked brekkie?

hildegard · 27/11/2007 08:49

It is a little bit annoying, but only a LITTLE bit. He is hung over, late and grumpy. Remind him of the actual events when he gets home and he will be very grateful.

Pk616 · 27/11/2007 08:54

Oh I will forgive him, I doubt I'll even nag him about it, I'm just not used to the old fella behaving like this and it really rubbed me up the wrong way!

tbh, i would have been in bed when he rolled in at that time fast asleep - if he tried to sleep on the floor i would have let him (he has been known to sleep in the bathroom).....but if its not usual behaviour for your dh then no YABNU - but he did say he loved you before he left - he was hungover and snapped cos he felt like a muppett, we've all done it.

Run yourself a bath, when i was 29 weeks pregs i gave birth the next day - so count lucky stars!

Pk616 · 27/11/2007 09:00

counting lucky stars as I type!!

He should have let you know how late he was going to be, but if the rest is just once a year, I'd have been cross at the time, but then realised I was being a bit unreasonable.

Take comfort in the fact that he feels much worse this morning than you do

LittleGoldfish · 27/11/2007 09:20

poor bloke must have a stinking hangover this morning .

2.45am is a bit late to be rolling in especially when you have work the next day .

Pk616 · 27/11/2007 09:30

That's part of the point you see if it was the weekend I wouldn't have been worried or annoyed as I wouldn't have expected him back until the wee hours anyway and would have gone to bed instead of waiting up for him.
But a monday night!
I thought he'd been mugged or something!
I've let off the steam now so I'm not angry anymore, but what a muppet!

I expect everyone will be late for work.

Pk616 · 27/11/2007 09:34

Na, he works for HMV so most of them are kids and are used to late nights and early mornings!
He got the nickname 'the oldest man' 'cause he's 42!
It's his own fault for trying to keep up with them!

HonoriaGlossop · 27/11/2007 09:47

i think YAB a bit U. It was the xams party after all, so I think it was just unrealistic to expect him back - I think you should have just gone to bed and let him get on with it.

Let me just list what I would not have done had this been my dh!

I wouldn't have waited up, I wouldn't have helped him upstairs, I wouldn't have helped him undress or set his alarms, I would have woken him but I wouldn't have made his sandwiches or rolled him fags!!!!!!

You are obviously and clearly an absolute treasure, your DH doesn't know he's born! I hope he apologises later when the hangover has worn off a bit.

perpetualworrier · 27/11/2007 09:50

PK that makes it even funnier, cos he'll be feeling much worse than the rest of them this morning and they'll be taking the michael too

tarantula · 27/11/2007 09:59

I thnk you should ring him up now adn be all perky and jolly and ask him in sweet dulcet tones if how he is feelign this morning I find falsely sweet sympathy tends to really grate on a sore head. Evil??? moi???

Pk616 · 27/11/2007 13:13

lol!
If I know him, he'll be teling the lads that it's the ice he had in his drinks or his scinuses that are playing up that's causing his bad head!
He'll come home later with his tail between his legs, make me a cuppa and then collapse on the sofa and shout zs at the celing til bedtime! looks like it's chips for tea!!

Getting in at 3, having no sleep and being back at work for 7 is all part of the fun of the Xmas party!

Pk616 · 27/11/2007 13:28

I know happy daddy, I just had the morning grumps too!

OP posts:
Ripeberry · 27/11/2007 13:52

Why would he be going to work the next morning after getting in at 2.45am?
I would be more concerned about him driving in that state.

Pk616 · 27/11/2007 14:41

Luckily, he can't drive so I only have to worry about how much sleep the man driving the bus has had!

OP posts:
Ripeberry · 27/11/2007 16:26

When my DH has midweek Xmas parties i always worry about if he is still over the limit or not as lots of people get caught out that way.
Glad to hear your partner does not drive into work.
