I used to think that I was a good writer. But, since joining MN, I have to face the sad realisation that this is untrue. If I comment on a thread, it dies, and if I start a thread, no one answers! I give up. I know I am a good reader, I will stick to that from now on....

amazing mumof6

You brightened my day
I don't what to say
Perhaps here I'll stay
And with you shall play
How do you cope with six?
Is Mumsnet your daily fix?
I had three under three
And never had time to pee
Now they've all flown the nest
I am enjoying the rest!

amazingmumof6 · 29/05/2013 10:01

blueGrin

that is brilliant! and partly true!
it brightened up MY day!

DH really pissef me off this morning, just being careless and stupid. made me cry.

now I feel better. Smile

Blueandwhitelover · 29/05/2013 10:05

Aw what did he do? Mine did the other day too, however, in retrospect I was being totally unreasonable culminating in him stomping off to powerwash the decking in the pouring rain.
I did grovel afterwards.

Obviously your DH was in the WRONG!

Roomfor1more · 29/05/2013 10:23

Oooh you have a hubby like that too. Mine does thick things too when he's thick with temper and cuts our grass in the rain etc. We've loads of grass, 2 acres Hmm I think he measures it every day and if it reaches anything longer 48 millimetres, the ride on is out! Grin

Hiya blue. I nearly had 4 under 4, missed it by 3 hours, my twins were 6 weeks early. So ds1 has his birthday the day before theirs!

I'm been nice to dh actually, well since the news came in about his parents. I keep telling him now is Dad will bring him for a McDonalds on Sunday if he's good! He's nearly 40, dh. I needn't tell you what reply I get, it usually ends with 'off' at the end! lol

amazingmumof6 · 29/05/2013 10:44

it started yesterday. he said he'd be home by 9. I said good because I had to go to tesco's - I'm not doing that with 6 kids!!!!

he got back after 10pm. which is fine, no worries I'll drop off kids at 11 am then go to tesco's.
oh no, he says, he forgot to say that the fence panels are being delivered today between 8am-2pm.

so to sum it up: I couldn't shop Tuesday night.
I can't sleep in Wednesday morning. just in case the fence comes.

when I take the kids out I have to ask neighbours if they are in, please blahblah blah, embarrassing.

I can't go toTesco's coz I have to rush back.

I can't do anything till 2pm, at least on my fucking day off (like have a nice bath or a nap) because I have to watch the door...

then I got up this morning,and noticed he left a message on the door for them on the back of a piece of paper that is very important to me, and I blew up!
(it was the menu of our murder mystery party to years ago, it was a fab night and I keep it in the kitchen. he knows it's important to me)

I called him, crying, that he fucked up my day already, did he really have to fuck up something that's a reminder of a lovely memory? did he?
oh, he couldn't find anything else as he was in a rush.. f
FFS! we have a box full of paper to print on upstairs and a stack of small bits for notes and shopping lists in the kitchen..........why oh why did he have to choose that one thing..

I know IABR. very reasonable. he is being careless and I'm right. I just can't stop crying.

Hi Room, four under four-I take my hat off! Mine had painted the horrible decking paint with paint remover and quite rightly pointed out that the torrential rain forecast would wash it off. I did not see this as reasonable and moaned and nagged. Cue the stomp outside just as the heavens opened. I have told him he can glory in the moment of me having not been quite as right as I thought I was.

Mum of six-You are NOT being unreasonable! Little mementoes are what reminds us of when we had a life! How old are the kids? Mine are now 25, 23 1/2 and 22

Does he get a stressy on when his unreasonableness is pointed out? Mine does :-)

Blueandwhitelover · 29/05/2013 11:28

Just read the entire thread (so I know how old the kids are now lol).

Roomfor1more · 29/05/2013 11:42

Ahh Zing I wouldn't be a happy bunny either! They just don't think do they???

I often joke if I didn't love him as much as I do, I'd be after doing him in at this stage and burying him under the patio... Speaking of a patio, ours was started 4 years ago and its still a load of rubble.............. Very health and safety with 4 small kids running about, NOT! When my dh gets iffy he goes out and moves a few stones rolls eyes

amazingmumof6 · 29/05/2013 11:59

am fuming.
back now, dropped kids off, done shopping.
tore paper in pieces. he apologized, but what good is that when I feel so angry! he screwed up my day.

glad I'm a Christian and will eventually want to forgive him . otherwise he'd be eating bleach soup tonightAngry Angry Angry

thanks for sympathy.
love you all

I joined one of the diet threads last year, where everyone posts about thier progress to a certain weight - lose 7lb for your holiday I think it was. After I joined no one else posted at all, so it was just me for 4 weeks!
