The absolute irony

So I was booking something earlier with my husbands card with his knowledge and permission (we jointly pay into the account it comes from) and it needed a security code by text to his phone. He had fallen asleep on the sofa so I unlocked his phone to get the code. His WhatsApp was open to his mate with a message from last Sunday saying he’d got home and I there was still a load of washing in the machine and hasn’t it been a hot day and a 😡 face basically insinuating I’m lazy for not hanging it out. He’d at that point been in the pub for 5 hours on a Sunday afternoon (as is usual most Sundays) while I was at home with our 2 young children. His comment also said something about him now having to tumble dry the school uniform for Monday (when I knew full well our child’s PE kit was clean and ready for school and if I didn’t do 95% of sorting the kids out he’d know that). His mate commented welcome to my world and I know he has the opinion his wife is lazy. For info I work 4 days in a professional career and contribute a substantial amount to household funds and also do 90% of the house/child/admin things at home. AIBU for wanting to absolutely tell him to get fucked for making out that I’m lazy!!

Time you spent next Sunday afternoon out and he spends the day looking after his kids.

I would be tamping at this and would stop doing anything for him - see how the ungrateful fucker likes it when he has to do all his own personal stuff, like washing and cooking, along with sharing childcare and leisure time 50/50!

It's so fucking rude and disrespectful to bitch about your spouse like that.

I think I would reply in the WhatsApp something like "of course I can't talk I have been in the pub all day!" and maybe a few other clarifications too!

I would have taken a photo of him asleep and sent it to the mate

Brilliant! Do that, OP!
