DH is in a league of his own and I am not happy with him at all.

[MrsBubsDeVere]

For the first time in months, I am going out at midday for lunch with my best mate, we will be having a couple of drinks and catching up and we aren't intending to rush.

I have just mentioned to dh that asda shopping is coming between 3 and 5 just in case I am not back (we have to get there, get a table wait for food and have a leisurely lunch etc) and he went mad saying I had better be back to sort asda out when it comes because there is an england game on and he wants to watch it uninterrupted.

Bearing in mind, we have two dd's, so now I will not be able to enjoy lunch as much as I could because I know if I'm not back he will be shouting and balling at the kids and bad language will be flying, but I still don't see why I have to rush back, upon thinking back I think that this is the FIRST time I have been out for lunch without the kids this year.

I am ranting now lol and repeating things, but I am so bloody angry at the minute, I can't think straight.

Sorry, I don't think grown men who've agreed to look after their OWN children have any right to bleat on about watching bloody football. The highlights are on later, this is the first time you've been out THIS YEAR, he should shut the f* up imo. Sorry, am not v sympathetic towards football when it's up against childcare.

btw I haven't read the thread, only first post, will read the rest now.

God, am totally shocked at all of you who think that a) men who look after their children while woman goes out for lunch for the first time this year (and I remind you, we're in SEPTEMBER here!) deserve not to have to pack away a poxy bit of shopping and are entitled to watch football in peach, ha! the idea of it! and b) that earning cash as opposed to being sahp = being ble to pull rank and get out of childcare free card at any time (or words to that effect). Blimey, we do appear to still be in the 50s.

Mr BdV is an arse, and am at people who've suggested his behaviour is anything other than Neanderthal. This thread's been a bit of an eye-opener, actually...

Mrs BdV, hope you enjoyed your curtailed lunch anyway and can do it again - for a decent length of time - soon.

Glad to hear rumours of your being a doormat are overstated sobernow

cant he put it away in half time?

forget the footie you deserve a break too and a goss with your mate

Forget the friggin' football, has no-one else noticed that Mrs BDV actually posted about 3.30 to say she'd come back early at 1.30 (presumably spoiling the enjoyment of her FIRST lunch out this year), and that she also let slip this so-called man calls their daughter a BITCH !!!

Mrs BDV, can I give you a big virtual hug ? My so-called man stomped off at 1, said he didn't know what time he was coming back - charming! - and hasn't spoken to me for 2 weeks after a trivial row during which he completely boiled over at me and told me to F off. So, I know exactly how you're feeling right now.

What to do about this sort of disrespectful contemptuous behaviour is another thing ..... I am praying for a lottery win (so I can "F off") and suggest you do the same !

Oh,

COME ON!!!!!

I can't believe anyone could actually approve or feel sorry for him having to unpack few shopping bags?!!!
It's not like he had to go to the store itself and do the shopping....

Men!!Get away with murder sometimes...!!

bubs...without being inflammatory and unpleasant, why are you married to this man?
Is your daughter also his daughter?

If my husband ever spoke to my children like that, I would knife him.

you deserve better than this surely?

sobernow: Sorry if I offended you xxx I just meant that sometimes work can overtake family life and needs to be re assessed which you obviously did

Ypou do sounf like you are itching to get back out to work though so maybe you should really start looking around??

Mechelle xx

And Mrsbubs you came back at WHAT TIME????

After all that commotion you gave into him and basically let him know that he is boss and what he says goes
Shame on you

Sky+. Pause live TV, Sign for shopping. Return to TV and start watching again. No need to miss a minute.

So did he manage to do the long and arduous task of signing the delivery man's paperwork and carrying the shopping to the kitchen? I've worked out that if you turn the telly up, you can still hear it in the kitchen.
I'm a bloke and I LOVE my footie but sometimes real life gets in the way. Deal with it.

Sometimes having a partner who is in a little world of their own, floating in their own little bubble can be quite nice. Yes they can be ignorant, rude and don't like their bubble being burst, but at least when a big football match has been built up for days on tele, he still dosen't realise or know about it untill we walk out on our way for a meal and he sees the pub packed to the rafters.....

well said HD, why is it some men just dont get it - doh!

who's the daddy !!

sorry Mrs dv but I was posting as if your dh was a nice bloke like mine - reading the latests posts he sounds horrible. The idea of a dad calling his dd a bitch turns my stomach. Why on earth are you still with him?
