Husband actually thinks he is punishing me. Ha

[Plopandflop]

Had a row this morning. Normal row that all couples have re our daughter whereas I think he expects to much of her husband thinks she is not pulling her weight bla bla bla.

anyway he has stormed off upstairs in a huff. He is now lead in bed with no phone (left it downstairs) no tv. He will be lead there determined not to come down board out of his mind.

where am stretched out on the sofa with a coffee and a bar of choc with the telly to myself with the sun streaming through the window. Thinking what a prat he can be

It's not Saturday anywhere in the world. It might be 2am on Thursday in Kiribati, and only just Wednesday on Howland island, but it's not Saturday.

What a load of crap. It indicates nothing of the sort.

It’s not Saturday though? It’s Wednesday.

No - the gunshield needed doing so she calmed the situation between the DH and DD by doing it when he stomped off. The DD needed it for school games that day and the gum shields aren't cheap.

I agree DH is the one who has stomped off but it isn't quite the win he thinks it is because he is up there with nothing to do or keep himself busy with or amused whereas OP has some peace and quiet and the ability to watch what she wants and access to the kitchen and snacks. If he wants that he would have to back down.

Enjoy the moment OP. He will be down again soon pretending like nothing ever happened.

That's hilarious! 😆😆😆

lol I wish it was Saturday ! Op normal silly argument, we all have them ! And yeah I would enjoy the peace too. He'll come down when he's hungry !

You can clearly see the first page of replies are mostly by people unhappy in their own marriages, looking to criticise or project or gloat. Yes it is pretty funny and silly OP!

Does he have no job to be at?

Where on earth did you get that idea from?

why are you on MN during the day anyway?

@Ballynatray

Presumably some of this is because your DH is still processing a distressing diagnosis, and you're both negotiating spending large amounts of time together at home if you're at home FT and he's now only working PT?

I think you've hit the nail on the head: it's a perfect cocktail for rows. Unless of course you are two saintly people, both with very calm temperaments who never row. Meanwhile, in the other world - yes couples do especially if they are experiencing what Ballynatray is describing.

There are so many smug people on MN 😆

Bit rich coming from anyone posting on MN during the weekday regardless of what the OP’s situation is. Not everyone works 9-5 regardless so a bit odd to make any assumptions.

It's funny.

Yes you couldnt waste the gumshield as they are expensive but your husband is also right to say you are soft on her. A stern talking to about not being on the phone when she knew her dad was working on the gumshield (I'm assuming she did know that) would be appropriate, Even if she didnt know if this was morning and pre school what was she doing on the phone when she should have beenn getting ready?

I think it's sensible to go and calm down in another room if things are getting heated. Can stop a little thing escalating. Hopefully you can both make up later (once chocolate is finished).

What's it to you?

Going against the grain here, I think if my husband had a rapidly progressing life-altering disease, I wouldn't want to waste any time on petty fallouts.

Carryingcarrying I saw “ led in bed” on another post! Surely people must realise it not only looks wrong but sounds wrong too?!

I’m going to be that person, but it should be lying there not “lead” there.

other than that, odd post. Sorry.

Really none of your business 😒

And it's you're*

yes its entirely the DD's fault for being a child. How dare she.

Take him his phone up as a way to break the ice

If you can't be bothered reading whole thread at least read the OPs posts and you would know the answer to this. He's working part time as he has a serious health condition

This! Me and my partner both work full time, but sometimes our ‘day off’ together is in the week instead of a weekend, so while my son is in school we sometimes have a chill day where we lay and watch TV on the sofa as we’re both usually non stop busy with housework, school runs, work etc.

I think people seem to forget that not everyone who works has a 9-5 weekday job, some people work weekends and therefor their day off is in the week

He is LYING there. Not lead.

Anyway, it all sounds ridiculous.
