My husband’s long and arduous weekend. Handholds needed for him

Just a quick post, while our dinner cooks. My husband has had such a long and trying weekend. Let me know if you have any messages of support that you would like me to pass along.

He’s been on a 48 hour stag do bender. It’s been particularly tough on him because he’s 42 years old and has high blood pressure. God bless him.

There have been pub crawls, smoked meat cookouts, distillery tours where they tasted 25 different spirits, poker games and much more. And my husband has pushed through like an absolute saint. He didn’t go to bed until after 4am on both nights and has even lost his poor little voice from all the karaoke. He did 2 Cher songs! Wow!

I’ve had an easy weekend of it, in the homestead. Looking after 3 kids and getting all the washing done after our family holiday. Had a full day of work on Friday. Caught up on some DIY in the evenings too. General relaxation.

Which is why, when my husband arrived home this afternoon at 4.45pm and said he would be going up to bed for nap, I was happy to do the kids dinner and bedtime on my own.

The poor soul. Please keep him in your prayers and thoughts.

Thoughts and prayers 🙏

Ahhh bless him. I’d be sending DC to sit outside the bedroom door with an assortment of pots, pans and wooden spoons

Think my husband has a twin 😂

Nonbio46 · 17/04/2023 14:49

This post has tickled me no end. Hope he’s doing ok. 😊

celticprincess · 17/04/2023 15:25

😂😂😂. Been there and done that. Usually involves a full week of recovering from his side and vows of never doing it again, until next time. They never learn.

Idontgiveashitanymore · 17/04/2023 15:26

Aww bless him. Such a trouper 🤣

GingereIIa · 17/04/2023 15:49

@CalpolDependant may I ask, did he make it through the night?

He won’t be properly rested if he has to keep getting up for a wee so I’m volunteering my nursing skills to come round and pop a catheter up his willy. Only trouble is I can’t seem to find any anaesthetic gel. Oh well, needs must.

Just laughed myself hoarse at this.

I share his pain!

Omg ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. How amazing are you ! This got me ribs cracking. 👏👏👏

OhcantthInkofaname · 17/04/2023 18:31

I would let dear children have some homemade musical instruments to welcome him home!

suzysnowball · 17/04/2023 18:37

Oh I'd let him know he'd better be up for a shagathon as soon as the kids are in bed

AbsoIutelyLovely · 17/04/2023 18:40

No words, OP, no words.

Fly high (up those stairs)

🕯🌹❤️

Tuskanini · 17/04/2023 18:41

I believe this sort of overindulgence is also mandatory for hen parties. I try to avoid both!

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 17/04/2023 18:42

Oh just divorce the useless fucker. Or you're giving him permission to do this again... and again... and again...

Silene · 17/04/2023 18:54

Please put this in classics. it is absolutely brilliant!! 🤣🤣🤣

LBFseBrom · 17/04/2023 18:55

My heart bleeds for him.

Deathraystare · 17/04/2023 18:58

Tell him we are all praying for him and hope he is better soon!!!

Ericaequites · 17/04/2023 19:00

No one needs an overnight hen or stag do, let alone two nights. It’s unaffordable for most, and tasteless for all. I have heard of stag and hen nights so unwholesome the wedding was cancelled. Next weekend, he can ferry the children to activities, batch cook, and run errands while you relax and recreate.

Chaznay · 17/04/2023 19:10

Men have it sooo hard

Foodieasfuck · 17/04/2023 19:14

Hilarious! 😂😂😂😂

Deathraystare · 17/04/2023 19:31

@Chaznay

Yeah the poor Menz!!!!

DeeCeeCherry · 17/04/2023 19:32

Stunning and brave

UthredofBattenberg · 17/04/2023 19:37

Oh gosh, that sounds awful! The poor poor man.

Please make sure you go and rub his feet for him, I've not doubt they'll be aching after standing on them doing all the karaoke and walking round the distillery. 😥

It's the least you can do after relaxing with the kids all weekend...
