go on, tell me i am. i'm stir crazy and spoiling for a scrap anyway

[chibi]

because my dd has been puking for 2 days now with a tummy bug, i have been confined to the house as such with a lo who doesn't want to be put down and who can only keep bm down and thus is feeding little and often. She is also sleeping with me she has been having broken sleep and i am paranoid about the puking in sleep. cue broken sleep for chibi poster.

such is motherhood.
par for the course.
fine.

what really is hacking me off is my dh who is going to the fricking football tomorrow and is leaving in the morning and returning after her bedtime.
this is making me irrationally

commiserate or start a fight with me i need to work out this anger somehow!

when do i get a fricking break? mother's day don't make me laugh i shall be ironing shirts and cleaning or caring for lo i want a day to piss off to wherever incommunicado and saunter back when i feel like it.

don't be so stupid and self-indulgent.
tosser.

you're welcome

wow. i'd be rather annoyed as well.
YANBU! at all!
(he had better make up for it on sunday!!)

and i smell of vomit. ewwww

YANBU

insist on breakfast in bed and lunch out, and then tell DH to iron whatever shirt he wants for monday and take DD for a walk / play / out faaaaaaaaar away from you

err... why are you ironing his shirts? Or cleaning the house when there's another able body around? Is football match so far away that he has to leave so early? Can he not go a bit later? Have a bath as soon as he gets home tonight and then go for a walk while he deals with baby, even if only as far as closest take away and off licence. It's a tough time and you should avoid being confrontational as you're already low but really and truly you should not be ironing/ cleaning/ without any time at all...

He can only go off to football and leave you to it if you let him.

what would he do if you broke down in tears of desperation and begged him not to go because you're so exhausted?

frankly i clean and iron because it is a break from dd

seriously my dh is a lovely man he did all the ironing most of the cleaning and made my lunches for the first 6 years of our relationship so i am happy to do the same now that i am on mat leave.

he also deserves a day off, he works in a tough school. to be fair unless his job was quality control in a chocolate factory he would still need a break to recharge.

i think the being stuck at home with sick and unputdownable dd was giving me a crazy siege mentality.

he has taken dd away to buy a mattress protector and we are having a takeaway for tea huzzah.

i am feeling much better now after having vented

Janni that is what I was going to suggest

Turn on the taps, it (sometimes) works

In any case, bloody well down tools on Sunday and do fuck all, he can do the domestic stuff, after all he is out gallivanting (oh my god I am starting to sound like my gran using that word) all day tomorrow.

Hope his football team loses ha

i shall ask him to delay leaving for the footy till the last possible moment so i can have a break.

actually GOML that is a capital suggestion I think I will go on wifestrike on Sunday ha ha he can do it all

my DH wanted to go to the football while DS was sick. I told him he wasn't going, and he didn't

your dh is being unfair.
