I'm flipping furious. I asked him to look after her so I could do some housework, not sit on my bum and do nothing, no, actually so I could clean the floors because his MOTHER is coming next week.
I hear her start fussing so I stick my head round the door and he's sitting there reading the paper and ignoring her. He sees me notice this and asks me to pass her over (because presumably his legs no longer work). I reassure DD and put her on her daddy's knee and leave the room.
So I get stuck into the cleaning, vacuuming so I can't hear anything and then go and empty the kitchen composter and am confronted in the garden by shouty DH complaining that DD is crying and 'needs milk' and that I am so selfish to let her cry!
I came back in and she was not crying, in fact she was fine, she was just BORED with sitting on his lap, with no toys, watching him read a newspaper. Frankly I know how she feels. I get very bored too because he does this all day, reading the newspapers and ignoring everyone and everything.
He insists she needs milk, I try and feed her and guess what, she's not interested, she just wants to play but he's now buggered off because apparently, that's his parenting done for the day.
It's okay though: he's "tired" because he hasn't had a nap.
We are currently doing sleep training, that is to say I am, he's moved into the spare room citing an inability to cope 'without eight straight hours sleep'. WTF?! I haven't had HALF THAT FOR OVER A YEAR! DD is seven months old and she has never slept through and I'm dealing with that but he's so fucking pathetic with his 'well it's all right for you, you can cope with it'. Like hell I can, I'm going demented but he's too self obsessed to notice.
I'd quite like to run him over at the minute. He's so bloody self obsessed and lazy.
I should add, neither of us work full time. We both work from home, and neither of us work more than 15 hours a week. So it's not like he's tired from work either. He's just a lazy git.
