God he is winding me up this morning, but i refuse to have a full blown domestic at this time of year so im going to have a tiny rant here just to get it out there. Excuse me one minute..

DP just doesn't seem to realise how much i have to do at Xmas or appreciate the effort i put in to make it great. Don't get me wrong i love christmas and don't mind doing it all, i just wish he would understand what it is i actually do.

I am trying to minamize my work load on xmas eve so this week, everyday i have cleaned this flat top to bottom, but this morning, after the kids had been up only an hour its a tip again so i said not to anyone really just to myself 'looks like another day of tidying for me' I wasn't moaning i just can't belive how messy the boys can make it in 1 hour.

But dp went off on one saying 'well we will do it xmas eve' to which i said that i already had quite a bit to do so it wasn't ideal but he was right and yes we would have to do it xmas eve.

DP went off on noe saying i had become 'one of those people' who hates and just whinges about xmas and how he had already heard it all at work and didn't want to come home to it as well.

So far on xmas eve i am going to be preparing the food then wash up afterwards, setting up the santa stuff and dp has already mentioned he is expectiong some sort of sex marathon as he always does xmas eve (sorry tmi) I will also have to now tidy up and putt all the presents put.

DP will no doubt put 1-2 pressies out under the tree then sit on his arse watching t.v playing xbox, yet he claims he helps just as much as i do each xmas. He says 'dont do it if you don't want to' but if i don't we wont have much of a christmas and he will be the first one moaning, plus christmas is important to me so i like to make it special.

Well that was it really nothing major, i just want to vent here so i don't snap at him when he gets in and start an argument.

Sigh.

Thanks for listening.

I think some blokes just don't get it do they.

Have to say though that if I were you I would be knocking the sex marathon on the head if you aren't up for it.

Tis the season..... mine has just announced he plans to slope off for a piss-up quiet drink in London on Boxing Day!!!!

I wish.

Its not that i mind, i do enjoy a bit of slap and tickle on xmas eve, it's a tradition form when i was 16 and couldn't sleep on xmas eve so we started it then, but dp always wants it to be so full on and a real session when i would really prefer a quicky before bed!

Plus i don't go to bed xmas eve untill well gone midnight as im busy and would prefer the sex then but dp goes to bed about 10pm and wants it middle of the evening.

I'm sorry I know it isn't funny but 'sex marathon' made me lol!

Look I could have written this post too - I nearly stuffed a sellotape dispenser down dh's throat last night! Oh the moaning, oh the 'you don't need to do that' YES I DO BECAUSE NO OTHER BUGGER WILL!

And breathe......

Hang in there

Make your boys tidy up before they go to bed (depending on age). Untidy isn't the same as dirty.

I've started to make my girls tidy up as they go to bed, or I'd be doing it all day and night. Sometimes it just gets bunged into a box and sorted the next day.

Lol, he said to me 'are you getting a mrs clause outfit?'

Me 'no you can have me in my grubby turkey stuffing clothes or not at all.'

But seriously i know it will be ok, but its just so annyoing that i work my arse off to provide a decent family xmas for us and he just doesn't get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
