Definitely not high energy here. DC just want to watch Dora and Peppa over and over again and I want some adult company tbh. Life can be so monotonous sometimes (moan moan moan whinge whinge). Think it's worse at weekends because all my friends are doing family stuff and I'm on my own with the dc-again

Sorry should go away when I'm in this mood

wastingaway · 27/02/2010 16:29

Not at all Freaky, that's what MN is for.

JustKeepSwimming · 27/02/2010 17:45

Plum - not sure she did it the healthy way tbh, was shocked when i saw a recent pic of her.

Freak - i totally get you as DH works a lots at weekends. the thing is if you ask people, their DH's may well work lots too, so they may be sat at home thinking the same thing.

A lazy day is all very well but the living room looks like a bomb's hit it and i've already tidied it once

We are fast approaching a period of a couple of months where DH will hardly be home.
It's kind of fun watching what I want and putting as many blankets on the bed as I like. But we'll miss him.

I think I need to come and live near my slatternly friends I can go through old pics with wasting, play lego with ali, watch cheesy films with JKS, be a lightweight with HMHB and eat plums cakes and meet her BIL

Sounds fun

Wasting I think actually that is it-has been 3 months now and the novelty has worn off a bit, still it's better than living with him (and I used to sit on my own every night then too!)

Also my neighbours have had a busy weekend, friends over both fri and sat night and today for lunch, makes me more aware that I'm on my own.

PlumBumMum · 28/02/2010 14:36

JKS My dh is always working and does do quite a physical job but he does do things like this and it bugs the s**t out of me

eg: the one day he had to do both school runs, ie: I sit at the school for an hour bored out of my mind, maybe call down to shop get bread and milk(3mile round trip)
HE drove to a shop (at least a 12 mile round)to buy a magazine & sweets for dcs

and I thought ffs you could have done it just once to see what I do everyday (exp Wednesday)
(yes I do go to some of the mums for a coffee some days but I don't like imposing so most sat at school)

sorry minor rant there

Well I got stuck into dcs rooms, I filled 2 blackbags full of crap precious pictures,magazines pieces of paper and forgotten toys
Now we need some lunch at 2.36

DONE

Grr for you Plum.
The thing is not that he wanted/needed to do some work, DS2 was napping, DS1 would happily watch a film, etc.
It was the way he announced it just as i walk in the door, after telling me he's been out having fun, etc.
Am over it now and he has said sorry and does recognise the manner was the annoying thing, not the actual work itself.

Doing very well with toilet stuff today
