My husband is tired. I thought I’d better tell you all

[FlamingoAndJohn]

There has been so much huffing and puffing around the house about how tired he is that I think he wants everyone to know.

Stop press-mine has also got toothache.(it’s broken because he won’t go to the dentist)Well go to the dentist. I’m not. Well take some ibruprofen. I’m not,it won’t do owt. Can I just have some thing sooooooft for tea? Yeah some puréed ibruprofen!

Or the ones who give you notice that they are going to be tired.

Me: let’s have a sort out of the garage next weekend. It’s piled high with shite.
Him: (in a pathetic exhaustified voice) I think I’m gonna be too tired....and the weekend after isn’t looking too good either...🙄

@Seapatrol

As a lurking DH on here, I feel I should defend my fellow menfolk... but I just don't have the energy.

Gives poor Seapatrol‘s brow a gentle mop with a cold compress.

Then slaps him around the back of the head, to waken him up.

Yeah some puréed ibruprofen!

🤣🤣🤣

Seapatrol please don this sleep mask lest this tiredness mandemic spread further.

@CaptainMyCaptain

Oh, the huffing and puffing! The deep sighs? What are they for? I never ask - I'm not rising to it.

I never ever acknowledge it. Especially as he complains about attention seeking in children.

Mine is so tired the poor lamb could only clear 3 of the 4 dinner plates leaving mine on the table, before he flopped infront of a film 🙄

I’d like to point out that I was up at 5.45 this morning due to the cat jumping on my bladder. I went for a run then to work.
I do the same job as dh.

@Wiaa

I know why your dh is so tired *@ChocolateBlock*, he's also married to me

Socially distanced air hi five. 😂😂😂

I think you're being a bit hard here. Do you not understand? Us females suffer from asymptomatic tiredness, therefore we don't even know we've got it.

The real martyrs are those that have symptoms.

Thank you lovely Mumsnetters I needed this thread. It's been a tough week. I kicked my always tired exDH out years ago, but gosh this thread brings back memories!! #mumsnetclassics

In fairness to my DH he is very good when I am tired. I often end up with a cup of tea, blanket and cat.

Fromage that is just brilliant! Yes, somehow after mine is finished 'tidying' the kitchen it looks like Paddington has done the place over with marmalade and tomato sauce. He then has to make the proud announcement how wore out he is and retire for an hour long bath, poor duck.

Mine cut the grass and needs a Wee Lie Down.

I have intimated that some serious sexy time is on the cards, but only if we can enjoy ourselves on freshly laundered sheets, so he is currently upstairs changing the bed.
Result.

Guess who is going to feel "too tired" later this evening...?

Mine huffed his nap was rubbish for 20 minutes now he is puffing there is nothing on TV did you know it's Friday night and there is nothing (but a 10yr old qi) on telly 🙄

mines is currently collapsed on the floor from being tired..after hoovering the kitchen

After "The Incident" of December 2009 my Dh wouldn't dare to say he's tired!

What do you mean? Gardeners World is on. It is my Friday night.

Crying with laughter here, cheers everyone. I've been single for a while now and thought about dating again, then read this and decided not to 😁😁😁

@GoldenHoops

What was the incident?

DH never says he’s tired. There is much huffing, puffing and sighing in the hope that I ask. I never do.

Bless

Hope he has had a nap 😴

Please tell of "the incident" @GoldenHoops. This threads better than Netflix comedy drama, not sure if a horror by end of thread 😬

I want that on a tea towel, cushion and bedspread.

I can see a market for the matching duvet and pillow case. 🤣

@FlamingoAndJohn I have to say I am quite surprised that you would blithely go for a walk. Leaving him home ALONE. In his state? That is shocking. I'm quite unsure how to react. What is the right number to call to report your reckless action? You knew full well that we are ALL here - thousands of us - ready and willing (and indeed, fully experienced!) in the care and nurturing of The Tired DH. Sorry, The Poor Tired DH. You had but to ask. You didn't even.

Poor, poor dear. I hope you have at least ordered him a DGofD as an apology gift? Express delivery, of course.

Please give him my best regards. And my sincere sympathy.

:)

Oh my goodness op, you are so unreasonable going for a walk. Have you not settled him down in the sofa with the 'poorly blanket' to comfort him in his hour of tiredness
