DH said I should be cleaning the skirting boards in the hall and not on MN,

[chewitt]

have not sat down all day, was up loads in the night last night with DS3. Is it normal to not do housework,even if there's stuff to be done, if you're tired and want to sit and veg for a while?

cleaning the skirting boards?
why?

God I don't do it often and should - my house is a tip

I have never cleaned the skirtin boards, we have lived her for 6 years

HE IS BEING VU

he said I should be more houseproud....

do you live in a right mucky house

I don't think my DH is even aware of skirting boards, let alone their relative cleanliness.

It's nearly 9 on a sat night and he wants you on your hands and knees scrubbing skirting boards?

He is BVU and I'm amazed and rather concerned that he has said this to you.

Was it a joke?

If my dh told me to clean the skirting boards I would certainly do it.......

using his BALLS.

The only reason I can think that my DH might question why I wasn't cleaning the skirting board when he got in would be if DD had shat all over it.

And then he would offer to help.

Yeap I should be ironing etc....

on thinking again about this

I must say
he has to have been joking right

I mean its skirting boards for a start

how dirty are they
its saturday and late, time to relax

and why would he be telling you what to do

So does he ever sit down and relax when such vital jobs as cleaning skirting boards need doing?

chewitt come and tell us you are joking

when i lived in a flat the upstairs used to hoover all saturday night

Depends where this came up.

If you were in one of those conversations where you needle him until he says something you can outrage over, YABU.

If he works all hours and does loads of childcare while you have your feet up, YABU.

If you constantly whinge at him to do DIY etc without ever learning to do it yourself and complain about him on the phone in front of him, YABU.

Otherwise, tell him if he cares about skirting boards, to do them himself.

What are skirting boards? Why do they need cleaning?

Is it even legal to clean on a saturday night. Give DH the cloth to clean the skirting boards and tell him to buy you wine afterwards.

chewitt, I really hope this is a wind-up. I it isn't, show him this thread. He is acting like a nutter. Normal people do not complain that at 20.45 on a Saturday, having been busy all day, they clean skirting boards. Only controlling bullies say things like that.

Umm. Tell him to fuck right off?

Its not a wind up but readingn choosyfloosys reminds me there's a context. We've been bickering about crap stuff.
I like Northern Lurkers idea....

Phew

twat. tell him if he wants them done that badly he can do them himself.

Do it but do it badly. When he complains, tell him you need him to show you how you should clean them.

When he does it, tell him he has done it sooo well, that he should continue doing it

Alternatively, tell him to feck off.
