Hi. Sorry but I need to rant.

I'm so p*ed off with "D"H. I do 99% of housework, childcare, 100% bedtime routine, cooking etc. He works long hours it's not really the issue.

I forgot to post a thank you card and present for the second day in a row. My DSis had surgery last week. I've spent from 1pm to 7.30pm today taking her to the hospital, cleaning and shopping for her and with DC's off school I haven't had time to do anything other than cook,wash get DC's out the door and cook and wash again.

DH comes in, sees the thank you card and present and says in a loud sarcastic tone in front of the DC's "oh I see mummy hasn't sent the present again. I suppose daddy will have to do it. If daddy doesn't do it it doesn't get done does it DC's??" I say excuse me. Tell the DC's you are joking as that is not fair. (I seriously don't get a minute to myself EVER and do everything DC and house related)
He winks at DC1 and says I'm only joking. He says nothing to me. No apology. I told him I was pissed off and belittled. He says I'm overreacting as he was "only joking". I'm not laughing. I feel like punching him.

I heard this said once. "There are no jokes, only the truth". I use this with my DH, when he does the "can't take a joke" line.
Sneering fuckhead. Tell you what, focus on his weakest spot and say its a joke. Watch him roll around in hysterics....not
