AIBU in wanting DH to take the kids out for a couple of hours? ds is 5.5 and dd 2.5, I suggested he take them to see Horton hears a Who, but he said they "don't deserve it" and dd wouldn't sit through it. So I said do something else with them then. I very rarely have time completely alone- last time I can recall was when dd was a baby- admittedly this is my own doing, as I often decide to go with them when I could stay at home. However when he is off work I do quite often take them out of the house, so he gets loads more time to himself. Added to that, once they are in bed he sits down and watches tv, goes on internet or x box etc and just leaves whatever mess is around him.

Anyway, I planned to sort the ironing out (I know how to live)- plus I have a massive headache that is not shifting for love nor paracetamol. DH currently playing on xbox and I am currently considering cutting his nads off! It's his day off today, surely he could be arsed to do something?

I hated Horton needs a poo (as my DS#2 inevitably called it) but I will admit that at 43 I am probably outside the film's core audience. God it was dull and I'm used to childrens' films by now.

Anyway.... no yanbu as you know by now. If they are playing up a dose of fresh air/exercise/change of scene will help calm them down. He is an arse btw. X-boxes/TV for adults are evening only in our house. At all other times sitting down doing 'nothing' is treated with the contempt it deserves. Which is why I MN whilst at work

Exactly OrmIrian. It didnt need to be that anyway, it was just a suggestion, as he was never going to make the move. He has just called- he did take them to the cinema and now isnt sure if they will get in as it's so busy- which is why I offered to book it for him and was met by amazement/ridicule/cock-ness etc. So he can sort it out himself! Anyway have eaten his easter egg "by mistake".

You know how when you are wound up over something or with someone, your mind just runs and runs over every little thing?! I am now absolutley 100% certain I am not being unreasonable, thank you mumsnet and good night!
