I am sorting out preparations for moving in with my partner. Therefore I have been there today as we were supposed to be decorating his daughters bedroom.
So I got there and he said I should do it with his DD to 'bond'. So we went upstairs and she was driving me nuts for hours "you've missed a bit, shall we do that side first? actually, can we change that bit? have you forgotten the tape for that bit? do you think you should put more paper down? etc etc etc ... for hours.
DP didn't help us at all, just sat downstairs on the PC, music blasting out etc. I started at 1.45pm. At 5pm his daughter went out and she told him to come and help me. By 5.20 I was knackerd, I'd been painting none stop for over 3 hours. I said "do you think we should stop for a break?" and he said "well we've nearly finished now, may as well carry on ... ok for him since he'd only been doing it for about half an hour ... no thought to me having been up there for 3 and a half hours!
Anyway it was other stuff irritating me too. For instance, his daughter was supposed to be going for a sleep over at a friends. He came upstairs to ask "what are you wearing to go out in?" she said she didn't know so he's fafing around going through her drawers and wardrobe to find her something! She's 12! I don't even do that for my 8 year old.
Then he laid a load of clothes out for her, she went to get changed and then started compliaing that he'd put out a white bra and a black top. He's saying "I didn't, I put out your black bra" ffs ... I thought this was really, really odd personally but kept quiet. Anyway this argument about the bra went on for ages, all the while I'm still painting the ffing bedroom.
Then, to top it off ... we got talking about computers etc and I said "I can't afford it at christmas so for DS's birthday next year I'll get him a laptop."
He said "oh, I can see some whinging about that, if he gets one, DD will want a new one ... best to keep that kind of thing for christmas so they can get one at the same time"
she already has one! DS doesn't!
And the last one ... it got to 6.40 and I finished off. I really fancied treating myself to some chocolate so I said to him "will you mind just stopping off at the shop on the way home so I can get some chocolate for later?"
He said "no, course not"
So we get in the car, mention the shop again, he asked which one and I told him. First he drives the complete wrong way I correct him and he drives towards the shop ... and then went sailing past it! I pointed out that we'd gone past the shop, he acted suprised and made a half arsed attempt to slow down, looking at me the whole time as if willing me to say it didn't matter ... in the end I got pissed off and just said "oh leave it, doesn't matter" and he sped off instantly, seemingly quite relieved.
I don't know, the pair of them have been really winding me up all day. Am I just having an off day or would this stuff annoy anyone else??
