Morning everyone, I'm off to catch up on the thread in a mo, but firstly I need to have a rant and vent my feelings........
DH has really pissed me off. Maybe IABU but see what you girls think.
Saturday we all went to cricket. Infact I visited my Nan in the morning with my Mum and the two boys, I'd already prepared a picnic and we spent a lovely afternoon watching the team get thrashed and had a nice walk and DS1 rode his bike her there and everywhere.
Anyway If I don't go to cricket then the children don;t really get to see much of their dad as he works away quite a bit during the week often sleeping away.
DH did the night time feeds for me on Satuday night and was up once at 4am.
Consequently DS1 was shattered yesterday and very argumentative so I asked him to have a small nap in the morning if he wanted to go to cricket in the afternoon. I know he is four, but if the match doesn;t finish until 7-8pm and he's been out in the fresh air and he's been running around and playing with the guys he gets really tired, so thought it would do no harm.
Anyway, he just messed about in his room and had no sleep. Meanwhile I was in the kitchen preparing the sandwiches, cakes, and the rest of the match teas.
As a result I said he could not go to cricket as he had not done as he was told. I have threatened this before and not carried it out, but thought I must start to carry out my threats otherwise it could be a long summer holidays!
DH went off to cricket and eventually got home at 8.30pm.
Then he promptly fell asleep on the sofa whislt we were watching a programme I'd recorded from the night before. In the end I stopped the DVD. He complained he was tired. I stated that he'd done the night time feeds once.
He turned around and said maybe it's because of my work schedule over the past 7 weeks. (I know he's been working hard and it's been stressful) but then I pointed out that I haven't had an unbroken nights sleep for months now due to pregnancy, cramps, the needing to pee constantly, the night time feeds, needless to say the exhastion from childbirth itself, oh and having to look after 2 children most of the time, the housework, the shopping, the cleaning.
And I pointed out that I myself was still working full time up until 4 days before Luke was born. I did state that if he was that tired, he didn't ahve to play cricket on both days of the weekend.
Oh and although he's not playing next Saturday (he's got tickets for the 20/20 final at the rosebowl, and there is no match on Sunday he asked if he could go out and play golf on the Sunday with the lads from cricket instead. I've never refused him when he's asked before, but I'm afraid I did say no this time and asked when he was going to spend any time with the children. I feel like booking something for myself and leaving him for the whole day to look after the kids whilst I have some me time!!!!!
AIBU?????
Grrrrgh, Men eh? I would love to know what would happen to the human race if they had to give birth!!!!
Sorry girls, rant over, just needed to get it off my chest. Feel so much better now.
Why are my posts so long nowadays?
