What a prince. What's he like in general?

Brefugee · 12/03/2024 08:01

Father's day is in June. HTH

NoelJo · 12/03/2024 08:03

Does he not have to get up for work?

PurpleLamb · 12/03/2024 08:03

Just putting Mother's Day to one side, why does he get 2 mornings to lie in, compared to your 1?

Wishitsnows · 12/03/2024 08:04

Well he’s used up his Father’s Day lie in today

lifebeginsaftercoffee · 12/03/2024 08:05

Lie-ins should be split between you every weekend anyway.

He's being petty over this particular one, but it's maybe worth looking at what the split is like general.

Yikes. What a way to live.

Tit for tat. So unpleasant

He sounds very unattractive. What sort of man actually behaves like that? You had one lie in. That’s it. On Mother’s Day. And he is now refusing to get out of bed and help with his own 3 young kids. How long will he punish you for having a little extra sleep?
When he gets a lie in on Father’s Day or his birthday, could you then refuse to get out of bed for the rest of the week? Would that go down well?

He just sounds deeply unattractive, selfish, childish. Isn’t a team player or family oriented and a misogynist who sees the kids are your job. Why did you have three kids with this guy?

According to the other threads on mothers day, women aren't allowed any special dispensations because of said mothers day, what were you thinking?

Simbaonedaythiswillallbeyours · 12/03/2024 08:15

Will he get up for work? Or are you doing the childcare run on your way to work while he lies in bed?

I don’t know how people can have sex with Neanderthals like this (possibly a bit unfair to Neanderthals)

Hermittrismegistus · 12/03/2024 08:18

Does he not have a job?

This and most certainly he is selfish like this in every other way. But then again go have 3 kids with him so I don't even know what's to complain about.

OfficerChurlish · 12/03/2024 08:21

Put the children in bed with him.

Merryoldgoat · 12/03/2024 08:21

Another woman in a relationship with a shitty man concentrating on the wrong issues.

Jesus, what a selfish, point-scoring, lazy twat.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 12/03/2024 10:06

Does he not have work?

Lie ins should really be split 50:50, but Mother’s Day and Father’s Day would generally mean an extra, bonus lie in if you like lie ins (I do, some don’t!)

seasaltbarbie · 12/03/2024 12:34

It’s like we’re being punished for relaxing on Mother’s Day, I had a nice relaxing day, but my house was left an absolute shite tip so had extra work to do on Monday 🫤😆 but no he’s being unreasonable, it’s not Father’s Day.

Devon23 · 12/03/2024 12:46

Def not fair but surely he has to get up for work?

Sounds like he wants to start a proper rota arrangement for lie ins? Yay!!!

ThingammyBob · 12/03/2024 14:02

Is he always this much of a prick?

Abbimae · 12/03/2024 17:32

Father’s Day credit gone. What a dick
