Honestly, it drives me mad. Firstly, he takes the day off work for no reason at all.
Okay, then he gets up with the children(early risers) but when I come out he is asleep on the sofa and they are watching television.
I wake him up, tell him how angry I am!
He says sorry love, I am exhausted.
Exhausted says I! You only have one day off a week, that means only one lay in for me, and you can't even do that properly!!Don't talk to me about exhausted!!
On top of all that, I have got to do a big grocery shop as his family have invited themselves round tonight.
I am really not in the mood.
Don't worry, he says, just do sandwiches, they only want to drop cards off!
Oh yea, says I , I can imagine the reaction if I served up sandwiches!
Honestly, men!!!!

im really confused you said earlier his not an angel as everyone thinks

now your saying he is ahppy family man now saying its because his bro and sis are coming after work he has taken the day off to spend with you and his family are entitled to see him on his b day

you really like the attention from him i guess but still not convinced this thread is real as if its just to do with bro and sis why scream at him for being asleep send him with kids to do shopping

its quite normal for family to say can we pop in to see you opn your b day at short notice still no reason to treat the b day boy like crap

you should also be treating him nicely he obviously wanted to spend the day with you thinking it would be a good day how wrong he was

UnquietDad · 28/04/2008 14:42

confused here. Is johnso in fact the DH?

Cappuccino · 28/04/2008 14:42

you've not even bought him a present yet

nice

johnso · 28/04/2008 14:43

I know that happy- it's just his nieces amd nephews drive me mad, stomping around the house and being clumsy, and there is no control there.
Hisisiter is always saying are you alright, are you alright with this worried look on her face

Oh this is such a good wind up

'Off to woolies to get him a present'

perfect. I take my hat off to you.

HappyNewYearFeet06 · 28/04/2008 14:45

Lol at Woolies. What you getting him, a pick n mix??

bubblagirl · 28/04/2008 14:45

not such a witch now

you get to go out with kids to do bit of shopping for him

told he cant get it right as he dozed off your his wife not his mum

he on his b day so far has been screamed at by you sent off with kids to do food shopping

and you think it makes up for it to get him present which is normal anyway for most families i think his day is already ruined he'll never have good memories about it

if the thread is real that is

'Hisisiter is always saying are you alright, are you alright with this worried look on her face '

Sounds bloody awful!,don't know how you put up with him or his family

MoreSpamThanGlam · 28/04/2008 14:46

Oh alright I went too far but for Gods sake this sounds so ridiculous I thought it was a troll if it isnt then to me I think that it is even worse.

I know it can get a bit "my dh is a shit" on here sometimes but to have the hump with your dh for not getting up and doing stuff with the kids on his birthday ....bloody hell. Poor bloke....

Excuse me VP I did mean that at the time but I am very disappointed in him today.
Don't you have ups and downs in your marriage?

ROFL @batters

very wise words

pagwatch · 28/04/2008 14:48

I think he is just going to have to learn to live with your disappointment johnso.

rookiemater · 28/04/2008 14:48

I was absolutely convinced that johnso was a troll particularly with that classic line about the sil, but like vp I checked and found quite a few normal sounding posts from her.

Johnso you may well be off to Woolies atm but if not can you try to tell us some of the less good stuff your DH does as we are a reasonable lot, but you aren't doing yourself many favours here.

Oh, I am always smiling. People approach me on the street and say you look happy!
Life is too short to moan and worry.

MoreSpamThanGlam · 28/04/2008 14:50

Do know what actually I take it back. What a shrew you are....

HappyNewYearFeet06 · 28/04/2008 14:52

Hmmm, my dh is a s**t alot of the time but he still gets his lie-in on the weekend and he still has a bloody good birthday.

He gets away with ALOT of things but doesn't mean you need to be nasty all of the time especially on his special day.

johnso · 28/04/2008 14:53

Well, thanks to you lot I have wasted a lot of time on here explaining myself. He will be home any minute, I must go out, I still need to calm down before I see him

rookiemater · 28/04/2008 14:56

Johnso you have spent precisely zero minutes explaining yourself, a small amount of time justifying your feelings, but no reasonable explanation for treating your DH so unpleasantly on his birthday.

HappyNewYearFeet06 · 28/04/2008 14:56

You need to calm down?? I am sure your dh has to calm down before seeing you too. You've turned his birthday into a disaster and he still has the rest of the aftenoon and evening to go.

BTW, My dh has presents ready in the morning for him that I have bought before the day, not on the day. Its the other way round when it comes to my birthday but I don't complain, maybe I should.
