Had a bad night with the baby and overslept a bit. It wasn’t loads but enough to make everything a bit rushed and frantic.

I asked DP if he could drop the baby off at nursery and he made noises about wanting to clean the house before a viewing we are having this morning. So I asked if he could dress baby instead which he did but then came and put the baby in with me, meaning I was trying to get ready with a ten month old crawling around and constantly climbing up my leg wanting cuddles.

I’m feeling really cross but not sure if just a bit stressed after last night.

@StMarysKettle

Why do you need 20 minutes to dry your hair and get dressed? If you've overslept surely you can get ready for work a bit quicker?

Sounds like you value your own time much more than you value your DHs. He had things to do, one of you had to watch the baby — if you're so determined he can't be left for a single second in his cot to play safely - well that's a decision you've made and you've got to deal with the consequences.

Are you this snippy and dismissive with your DH in your everyday lives as you are with people here?

🤣🤣 what a lot of shite! 20 mins isn't a long time to get ready for work. OP you could have said you needed 20 seconds, it would still be too long for the people on here.

I can't believe some of these responses! He has from 7:30 to 8:30 am alone to do whatever he wants before work. Why the hell can't he hold his baby for 20 minutes while his wife gets ready?
