DD 16mo, getting a cold, been cranky all night, and I've been up and down to her while DH was sleeping, and then did breakfast and laundry and housework and the usual while DH was reading his phone. So this morning I put DD down for a nap and asked DH please to take over while I had a rest.
After 50 minutes (she usually naps for 40 in the morning) she was howling herself into a state so I gave up on the idea of having some downtime. DH was sitting on the sofa reading his phone. "I'm giving her time to rest," he said. No you're bloody not, you're reading your phone and letting her howl. She's obviously not resting so why on earth are you pretending like reading your phone is okay, eh?
And then he did that stupid thing where he doesn't tell her what's going to happen next (we're going to give you a clean nappy, we're going downstairs to put your coat on, we're going to sit you in the buggy), just grabs her and does stuff, and she hates that, who wouldn't, and so she cries and cries and then he gets huffy. I've asked him to talk to her, I've pointed out that if you tell her what's happening next she protests less, and he bloody doesn't, and it's rubbish for everyone.
Sorry. Some days I just want to put him out with the recycling.
