Dh sulking after being away

[Overitagain88]

Dh has been away for a couple of days with work. Left sunday lunchtime and back today about 16:00 so just over 48 hours away. And is now sulking that we haven't all made a massive fuss about him being home

For context there is me and 2 kids at home (9 and 5) i WFH on a tuesday and had just got back from school run (agreed I take a later lunch break on WFH days) and was just jumping on a call as DH came back

Kids were up playing in their bedrooms and didn't hear DH walk in

We then had to leave for a sporting activity we do on a Tuesday about 30 minutes after he walked in so it was all a mad rush and he is now in a strop saying we all should have made more of an effort to welcome him home

I've also had to feed the pets, sort the washing, lunches for tomorrow and finish off some work while hes sulking

He needs to grow up

Maybe he should be considering why he wasn’t missed.

Omfg is there no end to these men’s infantile neediness?

It doesnt harm to show him a bit of affection surely?

Ah the King has arrived home and requires his loyal subjects to fall at his feet… Twat.

This is brilliant. I work away for 48-72 hours once a fortnight or so and am normally greeted with ‘mum where’s my socks/ scouts jumper/ swimming goggle/ what’s for dinner’. Unless he was away saving the life of the last of an endangered species or he happened to cure cancer I think a hug and a ‘hi honey glad you’re home, we missed you’ would suffice.

Sorry but this has made me laugh 😂 he wanted you all to make a fuss of him?!

what exactly does that entail? Did he expect you all to clap when he walked through the door?

Well yeah I’d be a bit sad if I went away 2 nights and came back and it felt like no one had noticed me either I don’t think he’s being overly precious - I feel a bit 🥹 if I dont get an enthusiastic hello mummy and a hug when I pick them up after school every day

Did he make a fuss of the kids after not seeing them for so long? Or you? Were there hugs and kisses etc. from his side??

Well she didn't kick him in the nuts and tell him to fuck off back to wherever he came from did she?

There's always one on every single thread 🙄

So to clarify...

I did come out of the space I WFH in for a minute before joining the call I needed to be in, gave him a quick hug, said I needed to be on a call, kids were upstairs (actually playing nicely for once!) I'll be out in half an hour to get ready to go to activity, which we all go to

He then proceeded to shout and scream at our eldest as they didn't come down at all until told to. Youngest had come down looking for a toy and seen him. Eldest has been upset all night as it was a proper shouting (i wasn't in the room but heard it from the where I work)

But apparently too difficult for him to go upstairs and tell them hes home

Give him a BJ tonight and he'll be all mended 😉

If I’d been away and I came home and Dh ran out the door and left me with a nice quiet house to chill for the evening after travelling, with no housework to do or dinner to cook for everyone, I’d be thrilled! I’d be grateful to go unnoticed and relax for a few hours.

Hail the return of the High and mighty one
We kneel before thee
O needy prick.

Why reward his shitty behaviour?

What was he expecting......a brass band and a big parade??? Silly man

Oooh 😬😂

I'd be tempted to buy a welcome home banner for the next time he's away, just to take the mickey..

Pretty sure that was sarcasm.

I'm sure you could have made the time to make a home made banner and stick a few balloons up for his return.

It's not like you were running the whole house plus working while he was away or anything.

We don't reward children for bad behaviour 😁

This did make me laugh!

Did he expect you all to be stood waiting to kiss his feet? What an idiot.

😬

He’s been a bit of a twat, hasn’t he?

LOL! 48 hours away and expects a spectacle when he gets home? Im a student midwife, if im doing 3 nights mid week I dont see any of my family at all for 4 days. I will start demanding banners at our reunion.

What a massive baby.
