Why are men such immature pains in the arse?!

Feeling v fed up and sorry for myself - DP is trying his hardest I'm sure, but I wish he'd understand how I'm feeling - I feel as though I have to do everything around the house and he does as little as he can get away with using the 'i have to work' excuse (even though we both work full time). I've spent every evening digging, weeding, mowing, etc in the garden lately because it was really neglected when we moved in and I want to get it usable so DS can play out in the summer. DP has painted part of the fence and inexplicably stopped. We have talked about all of this and he does make an effort for a while but then forgets and I'm fed up with having to nag all the time - I'm boring myself!

And then I come in to work (I work with mainly men) and have to sit listening to them boasting about who they fancy pulling this weekend and ogling over a girl who's just started. They're all in relationships with kids and I know they're only joking but its really pissing me off today. Why can't they talk about anything else?! And its as though I'm invisible - I make a work-related suggestion, get ignored, and then one of the blokes mentions it an hour later and gets all the bloody praise for it.

Grrr. Fed up. And I've got a cold and am knackered.

I don't care at the minute! I know the men I work with are extreme cases and I know I'm being unreasonable but I'm just so fed up today - normally it manifests itself as depression but today seems to be anger!
