Chomping at the bit: The cheek of dh, need some witty comments to drop him on his rear

26 replies

screwyslittlegoblins · 26/10/2005 22:45

Ds1 has a bad cold its on his chest and sounds out of breath just talking. If he was going to school I would keep him off. He is still due to go to the childminders tomorrow but don't really think he's fit enough to go there either.

The cheek of dh comes into the light when I mentioned to dh who has a day off tomorrow that ds1 isn't well enough to go to childminders. He says he has a busy day and can't look after him (the cheeky *tard he's his son) as he's going to be playing on his playstationshock]. I nearly fell over laughing and am still laughing now. I have just given him the look every time he looks at me of amusement and utter shock at his trying to pull a fast one. I just can't think of what to say. He's just made me more determined in the fact that I'll be going out in the morning leaving him and ds1 at home.

Please can anyone think of anything I can say to him that won't stimulate an argument as I intend the situation to stay were he's the one in the wrong(completely!!)

If you have to go to work as well, it's even more of an outrage.

Ho hum, forty years of feminism, and men still think they're not really responsible for their children, because someone else is. But if you get divorced, they're suddenly 50 50 responsible. Yeah, right.

Frankly I'd throw the playstation down the loo!

Cheeky begger!

If I really wanted revenge I'd wait for the next time he was 'in the mood' lead him on a bit and then say 'oops got to go and play on the play station'

screwyslittlegoblins · 26/10/2005 23:05

Absolutely!!! its just not on.
The cheeky sod has left me to get both our little goblins things ready for tommorrow which is a heil of alot when they go to childminders...scratch that only one little goblins things to get ready.

I can't let this lie its not often I'm completely in the right and he's so off the mark oh moral one that he believes he is. My ass!!!!!

What shall I say?????????????????????

I wouldn't say anything. Just elave him with him int he morning. If he says anything just say that the childminder won't have him cos he's ill and unless he's going to replace your wages for the day so you can stay at home then it's 'adios playstation'

Caligula · 26/10/2005 23:25

I wouldn't even countenance the idea of you staying at home, tbh.

He wouldn't.

It's his child. He has the day off work. It is utterly absurd to expect to be able to play teenage games when his child is ill. If you suggested that you were going to spend the day on Mumsnet when your child was ill, so he would have to take the day off work, do you think he would consider that reasonable?

moondog · 26/10/2005 23:38

Cheeky arse.
I'd kick the bloody playstation around the house before flushing it down the loo.

Then I'd leave him,pointing out that having him around is worse than useless.

Oh sorry,am I overreacting???

misdee · 26/10/2005 23:51

take the controllers with you to work.

Tortington · 27/10/2005 00:06

i dont know why your not talking about this. i dont think in all seriousness that you should have to take bits of the playstation with you to "make suer" he looks after his own son. thats bollocks.

if he doesnt think you working is important enough to help you out - i would say " ok then - good point fuck this, am staying at home - better get your self another job fuckhead - lets see how much playstation time you get then you inconsiderate twat"

or something equally articulate

Tortington · 27/10/2005 00:07

then i would shit on the playstation .... just cos i could

Trickorflum · 27/10/2005 00:11

I would just book a day of manicures and pedicures for Saturday. Then just dissappear for the day.

I say that but haven't done it myself yet.

Trickorflum · 27/10/2005 00:12

Am confused though if child is ill surely he will either be in bed or on sofa gazing inanely at said Play station.

heavenis · 27/10/2005 09:09

Just tell him of course you can play on play station darling.Say you'll make arrangement for ds1 to be looked after. Then just before your due to go out tell him you forgot to mention you couldn't get anyone and leave him too it.

bubbles2904 · 27/10/2005 14:53

i remember my ex p, he'd got a new ps2 and invited his mates around, they played for 12 hours solid until 7am, and he woke dd, i got up at 8 for work, to beer cans and takeaway wrappers all over the place, so i took the lead and games and hid them all. he told me he'd been looking for hours but never found them HAHAHA, well i thought it was hilarious, he didn't. i would definetely take the leads with me

bubbles2904 · 27/10/2005 14:55

LOL, just read the rest of the thread, HELLMOUTHCUSTY, how funny was your reply!!! good point though.

madmarchscare · 27/10/2005 15:05

for you. Last week I was poorly to the point where I couldnt stand without vomitting.

DH: Get some fresh air, you'l soon feel better
Me: I cant move
DH: Just try
Me: I have done and I cant
DH: Try again
Me:

DH: Huff, you do know I wont get paid if I dont go in.

Two days later he's throwing up .

Me: You know, I never get paid.

Twat.
