Moving house and DP is doing sod all to help

We move house in 7 days. Nothing whatsoever has been packed, bar the trolly load of things me and my elderly DM took over the other day.

Sky, electricity company, liasing with previous and current landlord, informing schools and nursery etc has all fallen to me.

I've been running around like a blue arse fly buying what furniture we need and arranging delivery for that.

I've been sorting through all of our belongings and making a "for charity" load, before we go.

When we agreed to take the place on last week DP was quick to say let's not over exert ourselves and rush. The result was me doing everything that needed to be done, alone, because the clock was ticking.

Fast forward to today whilst I'm faced with a shit load of packing DP is arranging leisurely trips to the cinema with DC.

I'm a disabled person with a brain injury, AIBU to think he is taking the piss?

Yes he is taking the piss.

Of course you’re not being unreasonable but you need to ask him for help. No, you shouldn’t have to but don’t be a martyr.

Tell him you cannot do everything yourself while he sits on his arse.

Get angry if you need to!

Yes he's def taking the piss. It'll be good to have the DC out of the house for a bit though. But obviously you could have done that while he got on with the hard work!

Leave all his stuff

Needanewnamebeingwatched · 10/04/2023 11:07

Pack up leave his shit behind and move without him.

Sounds like you would be better off

Natty13 · 10/04/2023 11:08

Everything utility wise which is in his name, leave it.
His clothes, games consoles, TV, any hobby things or things he'd miss but you wouldn't, leave it.

Let him sort the consequences of his own laziness.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 10/04/2023 11:09

And don’t pack any of his stuff! Plan a day out with DC tomorrow while he does his packing.

SkyandSurf · 10/04/2023 11:09

Absolutely leave all his stuff behind.

He's being a dick.

Can you give him specific room or a list of things that are his responsibility?

How old are the children? Are they likely to get in the way or can they help?

Xrays · 10/04/2023 11:25

So when does he think he’s going to do any of it? 🤔 Yanbu.

Ktime · 10/04/2023 11:27

Tell him the cinema is cancelled. Lose your shit at him,

ReasonablePerson123 · 10/04/2023 12:33

You need to talk to him and fast. You both clearly have different attitudes to this and need to get in the same page pronto.
