DH not happy

Babyitscoldoutside1 · 16/02/2025 18:57

I have just entertained DMIL DFIL and all the family for a roast dinner. We had a bottle of bubbles when they arrived. I cooked and served a full roast. Then we went for a walk, we have 4 under 5.
When we got back I did teas and coffees for everyone. Cleared, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher etc. As well as breastfeeding a baby.
Had a quick dance party to tire kids out.
during which DH commented I was drunk and should stop dancing.
We have now put the kids to bed.
Have poured a glass of wine out of what was left from DMIL and DFiL bottle they left with us. Fully thought I earned it but maybe not. Am I wrong.

Sound like DH wants to be the centre of attention

Theunamedcat · 16/02/2025 18:59

How many drinks did you actually have?

Gettoachiro · 16/02/2025 18:59

He sounds like a numpty

Tumbleweed44 · 16/02/2025 18:59

Why would you want a partner who doesn’t help.

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 16/02/2025 19:00

I've got so much sympathy for u BUT you haven't actually specified how much you actually drank, so going off this you've had 2 glasses? 1 of bubbles & 1 of wine? Or is there alot more than that? That would make the difference. As if you've necked a bottle or 2 on top of that he would have a point! Just a little clarity needed x

Achyarms · 16/02/2025 19:00

That’s absolutely nuts. Dh and his family would be doing the clearing up!!

or he would cook and I would clear up. TBH if I was looking after 4 kids he might even do both cooking and clearing if I did all childcare

Well there you go he's being an absolute dick. You enjoy your 3rd glass!!! X

Babyitscoldoutside1 · 16/02/2025 19:02

I'm enjoying glass 3 currently with side glares. Why!!?? Ffs

Could he be worried about you breastfeeding?

ShillyShallySherbet · 16/02/2025 19:03

What was he actually doing today while you were doing all the cooking and cleaning and looking after the children including breastfeeding a baby?! He sounds so lazy. You enjoy that wine!

Alalalala · 16/02/2025 19:04

I’m guessing your H is a lazy, sexist idiot?

Why put up with this? Ask him exactly what the chuff his issue is?

Greysonsgrowler · 16/02/2025 19:06

Is he often like this? He sounds like he’s moving into a contemptous zone of mind about you. I wonder why?

You clearly just smashed hosting a lovely day for his parents, kept on top of all the clearing up AND made time for some silliness with the kids to ensure an easy bedtime. What did HE bring to the days proceedings other than being a fun sucker and giving you the stink eye?

FrannyScraps · 16/02/2025 19:06

Drinking alcohol and breastfeeding?

Sure.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 16/02/2025 19:07

What a twat. What is the point of him? What was he doing while you were doing all the cooking, feeding the baby and keeping the children entertained (and enjoying it, by the sound of it!).

Roseshavethorns · 16/02/2025 19:08

Is he maybe concerned that you are drinking alcohol and breastfeeding? I thought you were supposed to have a number of hours between alcohol and feeding.

Justcallmebebes · 16/02/2025 19:10

FrannyScraps · 16/02/2025 19:06

Drinking alcohol and breastfeeding?

Sure.

It's perfectly OK to breastfeed and have a glass of wine

Calamitousness · 16/02/2025 19:10

Nothing wrong drinking alcohol and breastfeeding. There’s guidance to follow. I’d be so tempted to open another bottle just to piss him off more. Judgemental useless husband. Why did you do everything. Why can’t he cook and entertain his family. And clean up and entertain kids.

She's on her third....

Yes, of the entire day, hours apart, with a huge roast dinner in between. Not back to back on an empty stomach.

healthybychristmas · 16/02/2025 19:12

I think he and his parents should've taken the children out for a walk so that you could have a rest after cooking.

Cottonplease · 16/02/2025 19:13

Miserable sod.

godmum56 · 16/02/2025 19:19

Tell him to go and do one

ClairDeLaLune · 16/02/2025 19:20

You shouldn’t drink 3 glasses of wine if you’re BF, so I’ve voted YABU. Your husband IBVU for not sharing the workload however.
