to not want DH to work from home when I am having a week off work?

Have got a week off work planned in a few weeks and I am SO looking forward to it. DS will still be going to nursery for his usual 3 days and I have been planning all sorts of 'me-time' things to do (mainly the gym, shopping and generally lounging round being lazy!)

DH came home tonight and announced he doesn't need to be on the project where he is currently working for that week so will be working at home - my first thought was not 'how lovely, we can spend some time together without DS' - it was 'FFS, that is my time and I don't want you in the house'.

AIBU?

absolutely not

tell him he can take one day off work and take you and DS out

Buy him a garden shed - with a heater (if you really love him.)

YANBU. I used to love my days off on my own. Maybe spend one day with him though - go for a grown up lunch together in town. Then tell him you'll see him back at home cos you're going shopping?

Twiglett - he had already taken the Friday off for us to spend the day together (just the 2 of us as we have no babysitters so the only time we ever get to spend together is if we take a day off when DS is at nursery) - it is just the other 2 days that I wanted to myself.

YANBU, my dh does this on my days off sometimes drives me mad

soopermum1 · 21/02/2008 21:26

yanbu, my dh tries to 'hijack' my little days off too, i soon put him right on the subject

hifi · 21/02/2008 21:32

totally cramps my style if dh does this, and he expects lunch to be made and random bits of paperwork fiknding.

Go away for a few days and leave him to collect the child etc.
