to think that dh should not have got hammered (again) when I was hoping for a lie in tomorrow?

[queenoftheslatterns]

dh went out at 2pm, came home at 6.30 (a vast improvement on previous nights out admittedly) he was drunk then.

since being home he has managed to wind ds up so much that he cried when he finally went to bed and drank almost a full bottle of wine that I was planning on having a few glasses of myself. my period started today, last week I had a flare up of teitzes and really hurt my shoulder. I'm knackered, he doesn't have football tomorrow, its mothers day and I was looking forward to a proper lie in. one that doesnt end at 8.30 as he leaves for football.

so tomorrow i will get up with ds at 6.30, wash up the mess from tonights dinner and make my own breakfast/coffee because i have married a selfish prick who cant stop after 2 beers.

why will you do those things?

his hangover is his problem

he sounds like he has a drink problem btw

Solution: big, flexible pointy stick. Use it to poke him till he wakes up and keep poking him till he gets up, gets ds up, gets ds's breakfast etc. Needs to be long and pointy enough for you to reach all the way down the stairs with it without getting out your bed.

Seriously though. Why does his hangover get him out of getting up with ds?

Agree. Why are you assuming you will get up?

A swift and sharp elbow in the ribs with a few choice words about how it's his turn to get up should do the trick.

i know, ive tried to talk to him about this. i know that he will ignore ds/pretend to be aslepp/guilt-trip me into getting up.

im so cross. he is in bed now. a-fucking-sleep. the film/wine lovely night is a distant memory.

Well don't let him get away with it then! Of course he will do it if you let him.

under no circumstances get up early.let him sort it,don't be a doormat.

You wake up, tell him that you feel really ill and refuse to get up.

is he an alocholic

ok, i am NOT getting up. selfish fucker shouldn't have got so wasted, nowt more attractive than a grown man swaying eh?

I have DH here, who has been in the pub watching the rugby this afternoon. Not doing the swaying, but talking. About all manner of inane stuff.

So irritating!

sadlou, i dont know. i think he has a problem with drink, he cant seem to stop.

BIWI, its ridiculous isnt it? what is it about sports that turns them into 18yo's?

My DH is also out 'cos of rugby, went after to meet work mates in town, promised to be in before midnight and not be drunk. I'm not holding my breath.

Why can't they stop after a couple?

yanbu.

what a twat.

sorry your mothers day was spoiled. he is very very selfish

thats it. i am NOT getting up. should i open the special bottle of wine i was saving for luch at his parents tomorrow....?

How would it go down if you have to cancel attending the lunch because he is too hungover?

cargirl, his parents would be fuming, they hate his drinking as much as i do. i want to go i love his parents, i just dont want him to come with

I share your pain...however DH is not even back from the rugby yet, so I am still in the dark as to how much swaying/talking he will even be capable of .

I am also seeing my long lie going up in smoke (disclaimer, this will be approx long lie no.3 or maybe 4 in 2.2yrs!!)

don't get up with ds. If your dh was in bed at ten then he has 8 1/2 hours to sleep off the hangover - should be plenty.

Please don't get up in the morning. It just enables him.

Was your lie in definitely agreed by him before he got drunk?

ha, i have just had a massive fall out with dp about this very same thing..... i made him get up with dd as i did the night shift which is the general rule...he got in at 3.30 so didnt really want to and has now stormed out of the house! sorry to hijack but it seems this is a common issue, i wonder how many relationships break up around sporting events, ha ha

Another one here. He's Irish so was out even early started boozing at 1 and come in at 3.30am. Actually he didn't I had to let him in as he was able to manage the lock

This after promises that he wouldn't get drunk, this after us talking about our financial difficulties, this after me telling him that DS1 needs new shoes so he's not to spend a lot so there was money to buy them. He doesn't need a sporting event be behave like this the sporting event just give him an earlier start

I got up at 6.30 with my two lovely sons (I slept in DS2's bed as I couldn't bear sleeping in the same bed as the passed out twonk roaring and yelling in his pissed up passed outness

I haven't had a lie in (and I wouldn't make him get up because I think that is unfair on my DSs to have a properly still pissed twonk minding them) but my mother's day hasn't been ruined as my two given me kisses and hugs and drawn a picture of me with hearts all around it and told me that they aren't going to fight with each other all day as it's mother's day

I am heading to the cinema this morning with my two boys and when I'm back home the husband is getting an ultimatum. The drink or his family. And I mean it.

*was wasn't able to manage the lock

buddleja, thats shite. i would have been raging!

hubba, what is it about sports that turn perfectly nice blokes and good husbands into selfish twunts?

i got my lie in (but of course was unable to sleep) and dh has taken ds over to watch the footie. so i am up and bored. might just go back to bed...

Buddleja. Hope he makes the right choice.

Trouble is, the pub will be full of men all enabling each other. And none of them dare turn down a drink when the next round is bought for fear that they will appear to be light weight.
