to feel a flash or irritation everytime I read "LET DH DO IT" on her? I always imagine its said in a shrieky way as well

[MamaG]

I mean

OP - "I don't know what to buy FIL for his birthday"

Reply - "Its not YOUR father, let DH do it"

=====================

OP - "DH's boss is coming to dinner, what shall i make?"

Reply - "its not your boss, you didn't invite them, let DH cook and worry about it"

etc

Can it not just be accepted that sometimes YOU JUST WANT TO COOK/BUY THE PRESENT etc?

I do most of the housework in our house, DH does most of the DIY. Why? I farking HATE doing DIY and decorating but housework doesn't bother me - plus I work part time and he works full time so why would I wait wiht a floor that needs vaccuuming, when the DC are outsie playing and I've put dinner on? Why CAN'T I JUST GET THE DYSON OUT - it doesn't mean I'm a little wifey IT JUST WORKS IN MY FAMILY

(yes title took several read-throughs to understand )

i suppose though, it depends if the people posting about FIl's prezzie or boss's meal are feeling put-upon and downtrodden. Mama g it sounds like you have got teamwork sorted in your household - we have too- but sometimes these things are one further unreasonable expectation on top of many others....inwhich case the shriek of indignation is perhaps exactly what the vp wants to hear....

Mazzy, it's the threads like mamag described that she is referring to though.
Simple 'what shall I buy FiL' or 'what shall I cook DH's boss?'
Not someone being pissed off.

ha

i totally missed the point of this thread didn't i?

but i think people get that response because they are so used to thread where people secretly want to be told its nvt their responsibility

I don't think it is an INSTANT response every time. If is more like DH was just told me he has invited his boss and 20 work mates to dinner tonight and it is now 6pm - he forgot to tell me before etc etc

THEN it is let the fucker do it!!

Or if he has a go at me as I fogot his aunties b'day and made hiim look a part, THEN I would be in teh LET HIM DO IT!!

Come on the odd thing, or fairly agreed tasks, which includes hours working in and ou of teh house. Fair enogh, then it shouldn't be LET HIM DO IT

However atm I am in the DH SHOULD BLOODY WELL DO IT - as I am working FT and he is not atm, HE shoudl be doing more stuff them me aeround the house IMHO
