Feel free to ignore this entire post, but I need to moan...

I've spent the entire day going from one argument to another today with dp, mstly about hoousework.
I'm forgetting why I'm doing this now, as the more I improve, the more he expects, and nothing is ever good enough.
I can clean all day, and he'll come in and notice that I haven't wiped the table down an hour after tea. He can't just do it himself, though, he has to point it out to me first.

Now when I do anything, it will feel like I'm doing it because I've been told to, not because it needs doing, or I am taking pride in my home.

He's spent all day winding me up, had me in tears more than once, and then says sorry, goes out and thinks its all forgotten.

I'm going to stew all night now.

He's just come back with more apologies, and chocolate...

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 15/10/2006 20:06

I will give it a try with this Then tortoise.

Its what DS1 wants for xmas, he said that 2 of his friends have already got them. Hes 6 years and so are is friends.

Fingerts crossed

TortUREoiseChamber · 15/10/2006 20:10

Oh Jas. That must make you feel awful.Can you explain to him how he's making you feel? Think i would of throw the chocs in his face!
Hoouse Made me laugh though! Sounds Scottish!!

TortUREoiseChamber · 15/10/2006 20:11

TortUREoiseChamber · 15/10/2006 20:17

You spelt link wrong!

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 15/10/2006 20:22

I dont know why but when I try the link it just goes to the argos cant find page. The have you put in the right number etc Yet I take the link from the address bar with the product on.

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 15/10/2006 20:25

If you see the number is 3696916, yet the page the link gives is 5363106.

Am i doing something wrong or do you think its argos ?

TortUREoiseChamber · 15/10/2006 20:26

I don't know HN.

jasnDISMemBERED · 15/10/2006 20:29

That link took me to toboreptile...is that what you wanted to do?

Hoouse made me smile when you pointed it out (I almost never preview, either)

jasnDISMemBERED · 15/10/2006 20:30

roboreptile ...you didn't need me to say I don't preview, did you.

batinshoes · 15/10/2006 20:31

Hi All,

Sorry dh is being a pain Jas. Tell him you are trying really hard but his criticisms are making you feel like its not worth it. Then eat all the chocs

I am soooooo tired. DD dropped her nap again. i think they are on the way out. I'm lucky she's lasted so long as she is 2.8 but its bad timing with baby 8 weeks away

Hazel - are you trying to link to the robo reptile?

jasnDISMemBERED · 15/10/2006 20:32

I'm fluctuating between having the house so shiny tomorrow that he has to eat his words, and leaving it to fester a bit to make him suffer.

I've promised I'll try and do something with dds room so dd1 can use her desk (its got a tv on it at the moment) so I'll have to at least do that.

TortUREoiseChamber · 15/10/2006 20:33

I wish my DD's had had a nap at 2.8! DD1 only slept today because of late night and still up early. DD2 very rarely sleeps unless she's in the buggy and has had a busy day.

SusiSkelletonInTheCloset · 15/10/2006 20:34

chocolate is a start though

i know what you mean: the more i do the more it's taken for granted

was busy today as well: dusted and hoovered upstairs, put all clothes away, another one in dryer and another one in w/m - can't do it now, it will wake kids!
cooking obviously and d/w has just finishes, sink is clean (), downstairs floor sweeped (dp did that , well after being asked by me!), and i started on decluttering the bathroom!

sadly enough i am ready for bed now
(well, i had only 5hours sleep last night so that might be another reason)

you all are doing so well, keep it up ladies!!!!

and welcome new flybaby

batinshoes · 15/10/2006 20:34

i know i shouldnt moan about her dropping naps now as i've been so lucky....its just that she's really grumpy when she doesnt have one

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 15/10/2006 20:35

Jas, Maybe you should go on strike and then he will see what you do do. I know we all have are bad days and take it out on the ones we love. ( I did with xp2) but theres no need to make you feel bad and make you cry. Xp2 would not ask me to do anything that he would not do himself. If a job needing do and I had not done it then he would, and if we both were not up to doing the job and it could be left until the next day then we would do that. Theres no need to moan at you from not doing something there and then. The only time that he could moan at you for not doing something and that time would only be if you were a lazy so and so and did nothing all day and wanted him to go to work and then do all the work at home aswell!
I think it should be about more than just a sorry and a box of chocs. ie getting of his butt and helping you more round the house

batinshoes · 15/10/2006 20:35

and welcome new flybaby. i did see you've joined us just forgot to say Hi
