to want to surgically remove dh's mobile phone from his hand for one day??

[IneedacleanerIamalazyslattern]

We had an argument last night I am totally open to the fact I might be hugely pregnant and hormonal but he really pissed me off.

I have a week off work and as I work evenings mainly over the weekend we don't often get the chance to do much at the weekend. DH also works a Saturday but gets one off every 6 weeks which falls this weekend so we are going away.

Only going to my parents but a break none the less and we will get a good rest as my parents will do loads of the running about after the dc's.

No my parents live in a small village in the Highlands and dh last night asked if the mobile phone signal was dodgy there which it can be but you can get a signal outside the house easily enough. He explained he was asking because he was worried about calling dss (his ds) in the evening AND that his friend/colleague would be texting him the football scores

That is the bit that pissed me off. Every weekend no matter what we are doing and even big games during the week, his mobile is constantly beeping with texts discussing the lates scores.
We were at dh cousins wedding last year and his bloody phone was in and out his pocket all bloody afternoon.

Told him last night when he made this comment that I was a bit annoyed and he totally went off on one asking if I was expecting to cut him off for the rest of the world for the whole weekend
Erm no but one bloody weekend of ing about bloody not worrying about mobile phone bloody signal because we are away is that really too much to ask???

He thinks I am totally in the wrong for being pissed off at thim I think he is being and arse for worrying more about the football than the fact that we won't be going away for a while because by the time the next weekend I have off I will be due to give birth or have given birth so I think we should be able to enjoy it.

I don't complain if we are shopping and his phone is permanantly in his hand or whatever we are doing but ONE weekend ONE day in fact on Saturday to show some manners for one thing.

So is he being a twat or am I a hormonal moaning wife?

YANBU. But maybe apologise and then later sweetly request he lay off checking it every minute, maybe only a couple times in the afternoon?

I'm with you, I have threatened to put DH's bloody iPhone in the bin several times if he doesn't leave it alone.

THank god he doesn't have an iphone he would never be off of it.
He has been known in the past on a lunch out without the dc's to ask me to go on the internet on my phone to check results as well

I don't get that, the results will still be the same no matter when they are checked, does he think he can will the right results or something?

YANBU, but this is why I could never have married a football fan

I am actually serious, if I was dating someone and they showed more than a passing interest in football then they were in the bin. It is the only sport where the simple watching of it is so invasive into day to day life.

Tell him he can use your parents phone to call his DS and that his penis won't drop off if he has to wait a day to find out the football scores.

I totally agree with you YYM he seems to think he can will a result, to me it is like having a lottery ticket and sitting watching the nukmbers come out waiting until later to check it aint going to change it.

Ali you made me laugh out loud at that.
I feel I was misold a little on that front, I knew he was a season ticket holder to the local team and give him his due on that one he knows that as I work on a Saturday if he ahs a game it is his job to sort childcare or he doesn't go he doesn't leave it up to me.
But god I had NO idea how much football one man could find to watch in any one week. he will watch random stupid teams just for the sake of watching football although again he isn't too bad if I insist there is something on another channel he will do it and he sooks up by making me tea at half time

Before we got married he used to go to the pub every Sunday afternoon to watch it but doesn't anymore so I don't grudge him getting the telly some Sundays either but the mobile phone thing really rips my knitting if nothing else it is totally bloody rude to be checking it everytime a goal is bloody scored somewhere in the country.

Mind you actually wish he would go to the pub some Sundays we just cannot afford it.

AAArrrggghh i'm really pissed off with him now he is still trying to make out that I am being unreasonable somewhere along the line

He keeps saying that I am wrong to be pissed off at him asking about mobile phone signal...that is not the bit that is annoying me it is his reason for it....yes calling dss is a good reason to query but to then add so his mate can test him the football scores is what has made me fume away here aarrrrrrggghhhh ....and breathe.

I'm going to whisper this bit because I know no-one will agree with me...

To a football fan, knowing the results is a very important matter - specially at this late stage in the season with everything still being so open. Having said that though, he could get the results elsewhere, e.g. off the teletext. He doesn't have to use his phone

It doesn't sound like this is a case of one text with the results though so I do think YANBU to not want him "constantly discussing the latest scores". No need for that on a family weekend away

Notactually I do (kind of) agree with you I knew he was a massive footy fan when I married him but good god honestly every frigging goal??? As is happens?????

Tld him i'd drop him off at the pub and go and do my own thing with the dc's or he could stay at home.

No, definitely no need for that

We would always get someone to text us the final results if we were away, but that's just one text message

If he knows he's getting a text after every goal he's not to be listening to or taking any notice of anyone or anything else. Totally unfair of him
