Hubby watching football

[Cthomas87]

On Saturday my 3 year old (not my partner's) was not well at all . Running a temp and really clingy.

She had been on me all morning after two nights with little sleep.... She finally fell asleep and I layed her on sofa... Was so relieved to have a break.

Partner goes 'can you move her so I can sit on that sofa as this one hurts my back and I want to chill watch football'

Me 'really? I've just put her down .. she will wake cry and I'll have to hold her again' I was grumpy.

Queue him getting annoyed that he can't relax on sofa and watch football on a Saturday and I should have put her in bed or somewhere else.

Am I being unreasonable to be annoyed by this comment???

What a nob. Is he five years old?

Hopefully this was a one-off and he's not usually so immature and selfish but if not I'd be thinking I definitely wouldn't want to have more children with this baby.

@Pelham678 he's not the child's father.

I know that. It's not the point though, is it? A mature man wouldn't behave so pathetically putting his own needs above a child's even if the child wasn't his.

It would be a terrible idea to have a child with this guy as he is extremely unlikely to be an attentive, supportive father even if it was with his own child.

@Pelham678 I misread your post as to not have any more kids with him, as in the child was his. Sorry.

Of course you’re not the unreasonable one. I’d have used the other end of the sofa to have a nap myself. If he is this uncaring towards a poorly child and his tired partner, is he really a keeper?

Unless he immediately ‘sorry I was a total nob and didn’t think’ which we can all sometimes be guilty of if our mind is elsewhere, followed by ‘I’ll make you a tea, you must be shattered’, then it’s really selfish behaviour.

Hope your daughter is feeling better now.

You are being unreasonable being annoyed by his comment. Instead you should be absolutely fuming about his attitude. Any decent human being has enough compassion for a child even if it’s not their own. I would be packing my bags by now and I am not usually in the LTB camp
