To just rant about men/my DH

I have a newborn baby and I just wanted to do some fucking yoga. That’s it. I have the baby and the other children all week. DH gets to go for runs without a screaming baby. All I wanted was 20 minutes. But no, he brings the screaming baby in because “it had probably been 20 minutes so you were finished” (no, dipshit, if it had been 20 minutes and I was finished I would have come down and not left my screaming baby screaming with you because you decided to sit down/stop rocking him like the dipshit you are)

DH does not understand why I was shouting like a hysterical maniac (and probably neither do the presumably terrified neighbours)

AIBU to just say……

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

YANBU next time put a timer on or lock them out.

You deserve a break with space and boundaries. Make sure you get one x

I can definitely see why you snapped. As much as we love our babies we do need a break from them. Your husband should be able to step up and give you a break.

Give him a kitchen timer and tell him not to disturb you until it pings.

No yanbu.

YANBU, give him explicit instructions that he is NOT to disturb you.

the thing that tipped me over the edge the most was the “I don’t understand why you’re so upset”

Appreciate people understanding where I’m coming from i just needed a rant and to feel I’m not BU because I feel quite upset that this was supposed to be my one break and it was stolen from me.

OMG I would be so furious. What a dick. Is he always like this? Tell him that's it he owes you an hour now.

Get him a jogging pram so he can take the baby with him, the selfish prick.

It's weaponised incompetence. Plain and simple.

@Ontomatopea

he is usually not this bad. We had words on wed as he was WFH and I had the toddler and the baby both crying and called him meaning for him to come up but he didn’t because I didn't “specifically ask him to”. Well I wasn’t calling for a chitchat!

there’s an element of just seeing what he can get away with i think.
