To be mad at DH over his stupid fucking car

Years ago DH bought a ridiculously expensive (and loud) car with a huge roaring engine. The sound this stupid thing makes when he starts it up is embarrassing.

I am absolutely ready to take a baseball bat to it. We have a young child (13 months) and I do 99% of the overnights as DH works a lot.

He sleeps better than he used to as a newborn obviously but he's been ill the past couple of weeks and has been up and down, often waking at about 3 and then going back to sleep, or trying at least.

But then 6:30am comes and this stupid fucking beast on our driveway starts up and wakes him up and I've just had enough of it. I'm so mad about this ridiculous fucking car.

DH doesn't know what I expect him to do and I don't really know either, all I know is it pisses me off and I'm mad at him about it. Get the fucking bus or something, I don't care just don't wake DC (and me after being up and down all night) with your stupid fucking toy.

Honestly I often wish I'd wake up in the morning to someone having stolen it in the night.

When your baby wakes up call your DH and keep him on speaker phone FOR THE WHOLE TIME.

Or, if he refuses to stay in the phone, record your crying baby, for as long as it takes to settle him and make him listen to it as he wants to wind down for the night...

Your basing that on the assumption that shes actually asked him to get a 2nd car for work.

I've not seen any mention of this ,just the op having a tantrum because shes not getting her own way

A little tantrum? My my, so many overactive imaginations and hyperbolic claims

I think a lot of the really fucking stupid replies on this thread are planted by shit journalists to make it 'juicy' enough to lift into the crappy tabloids they freelance for.

I am quite grown up, thank you @pictish.

But the DH clearly has no idea of the real impact of the stupid car waking their DS as he is not there.

If he had to listen to it he might finally understand how distressing it is for the OP to have to deal with it.

Why can’t he just change the exhaust to have mufflers added?

Because then nobody would know what an enormous cock he’s got?

Losing the sound effects might be a sensible compromise.
