OK. I get it. You're tired.

[LikeALemming]

We got back from holiday late yesterday, we are all tired. But DH is the MOST tired. He's had a nights sleep, but today he is groaning and gasping and pretending he's unable to function. If I ask him a question, he sort of puts his head in his hands dramatically and whispers 'I don't know.. I don't...' and then tails off as if he's forgotten how to speak.

And if one of the DC makes the slightest noise he is flinching as though he's had an electric shock.

AIBU to fucking KILL him soon if he doesn't snap out of it ?

You have a choice......
(a) offer him two hours of total peace to do whatever he wishes in exchange for the same
(b) slap him with a wet, mouldy fish.

Either is good. Neither is wrong.

You have all my sympathy Lemming - my ds went up to Scotland on a jolly for 3 days this week. Got home and was straight back to work for Thurs and Friday. He was pretty grumpy both days and I let it slide.

I gave him a huge lie in this morning - and guess what? He's bitten both my and ds's heads off all morning.

I'm bloody fed up too :(

This is so damn funny! You made me laugh so much. He sounds like a right wally. Just the way you explained it too nearly made me wee!

No advice but good luck! X

Kill him. He's obviously suffering and you'll be doing yourself him a kindness by putting him out of misery and stopping him inflicting it on you

I like the mouldy fish option...

I'd be just as mad, Lemming.

DH is getting right on my wick when I whinge about my back/tiredness/being kicked in the bladder (32w pg) by saying "Well we knew it was going to be tough..." HOW is it tough on HIM, pray? And yet he feels the need to have an afternoon nap because "he's tired". REALLY???? (Mind you, I'm having an afternoon nap most days but that's because I'm growing a baby!!)

Grrrr.

Leave him with the DC and go out "shopping" for a couple of hours by yourself...

I second, offering him a time limted rest in exchange for the same for you. I do feel a bit sorry for him, if your tired, your tired.

Lmfao... Seems to be a common reaction to any kind of exertion above normal. One of my old employers used to take to his bed (or the couch) for the day after flying transatlantic First Class as "the traveling really took it out of him". Hmmmmm. I would have been on the same flight in economy with his child, and I wouldn't be guaranteed any sleep until I had got the child settled, unpacking done, groceries restocked, food cooked, etc. He would text me to bring up more ice cold bottled water, for his poor aching head.

It really put me off luxury travel and lifestyles as he seemed to suffer so much living the high life! ;D

Typical blokes. And they think women are the fragile race!

If I am annoyed with DH I tend to just tell him and have it outotherwise i fester. I like frumpy grumps advice though. Got any fresh fish in the fridge?

The free time exchange seems fair though.

Do you find if you even vaguely mention you are tired... He's more tired

That's dh fav trick .. so wearing!

I recommend you put MC5's 'Kick out the Jams' on full blast as there's nothing more expedient than a wall-to-wall cacophony of sound to hasten the return of a brain to a body.

Yes!! When did it turn into a competition. I'm 8 months pg, fairly anaemic and working nights....

He went out last night came home and was sick on the living room carpet and passed out on the floor. Like others I let him sleep in while I got up with DD (even though I'm working tonight) and since he got up he's been bitching and moaning about how tired he is.

I've been told I'm horrible and unsympathetic now he thinks he might have food poisoning...

batcave your Dh sounds like a knob. Why oh why would you get up with DD? Let him get on with it.

Well to be fair, she did sleep till 8 and I'm so uncomfy in bed I couldn't wait to get up!

I got my own back, I made him clean up his sick as soon as he woke, (hence me being unsympathetic).

I plan on making him pay, I'm not doing any housework today or tomorrow and possibly Monday too

Ha! Good for you batcave
