Help me get revenge on "DH" (light-hearted)

My "DH" came rolling in v pissed at circa 230am last night. Made a ridiculous racket, literally came in and woke me up. After I had been up with both kids.

Then snored his head off so I didn't sleep. Kept the kids up too.

Refused to get up with them at 5am (yep my job) and is still refusing to get out of bed. He knows his medication (sertraline) plus lots of beer makes him really unwell (dodgy tum) and he has done it again!

We have guests in 3 hours. The house is a shit tip and the bastard is still refusing to move! I went to the gym and he didn't look after the kids. One of them hurt themselves and the other was sat in a dirty nappy when I got back.

I need tactics for revenge. I am absolutely fuming!

Why tf did you leave them and go to the gym?

The child getting hurt in your absence is on you - you were fully aware your husband isn't in a fit state to take care of them.

As for the guests - ring them and cancel and blame your husband

If you see this light heartedly and left young DC at a drunk's mercy (if he's hammered at 2.30 he still was when you left), I think you need to seriously consider both of your actions going forward.

Lighthearted?

You have two little kids soiling & hurting themselves because both parents have other preferences.

How on earth are bed & the gym more important than ensuring holders are safe?

He was irresponsible and selfish so you decided to be too? Poor kids.

Ok calm down everyone. She was gone for 30 minutes.

He sounds like a complete prick and I'm not sure what revenge you could take really, he clearly feels no remorse and nothing you do will make him. I would be livid and would have to have a humdinger of a row about it with him. But long term I'm not sure I could stay with someone so selfish. And he should not be drinking on sertraline!

Light hearted? Really?

Missed the point but gym for 30min? Really? Including travel time?
What's the point?

Nothing here to be lighthearted about.

I opened this thread expecting to read something like your H had eaten the last piece of cake, or polished his shoes on your best towel or something.

Sorry OP. This kind of behaviour from your H isn't the least bit lighthearted.
