Is my husband a twat?

[NotAnotherNewNappy]

It is our 3yr wedding anniversary today. We both knew it was coming up but forgot it was today until I realised and text him when he was on his way home this evening.

It has been a crap day. He told me last night he thinks he and the kids have threadworms and totally freaked out. Since I got home from work I have de wormed the kids, vacuumed the whole house, changed all the bedding and done 3 loads of washing. The baby wouldn't sleep, cried for an hour. He got home at 9pm, special dinner on the table and iPlayer ready.

He brought a bottle of wine but no chocs as it would have "undone all my hardwork in the gym yesterday" and no flowers as "the ones in the co op weren't special enough"

He is a twat, yes?

mmm....threadworms how romantic.... Last year one of my DCs contracted scabies which required treatment for the whole family. In one of my happier interludes of last year, exH and I found that coating each other head to toe in insecticide (as part of the treatment) was actually rather arousing (aside from the terrible smell) and ended up in a romantic tryst that almost saved the marriage. That's tmi I know...

Bless you. As to your question OP, it seems like there was quite a bit going on & your big day crept up on you both.

I reckon you might be frazzled & as a result, feel a little hurt by your husbands lack of sentiment.

I say regroup, find a sitter & get you both a night away to enjoy your anniversary.

P.s CONGRATS!

Yes he's a git, leave him !
lol, like to think you are just sounding off for a mo as this is small potato. Enjoy rest of life together. Good luck when things like this happen again, it's all part of family life and you'll laugh about it one day

In the cold light of day, it appears I was a bit of a twat. No, I didn't buy him anything, but I spent about 4 hours coaxing worm powder into the DC and trying to eradicate worm eggs ( eaurgh ~ eggs on for handles, really?). We have made up and I've begged my mum to have the DC while we celebrate/commiserate. Thank you.

You can get tablets Not
I don't know if the eggs can actually live on handles (I did say I went into super-excessive-hygiene-overdrive lol) but just in case.

Good you've made up, enjoy your DC free time x
