lie ins (AGAIN!)

Aghhhh
This is just soo frustgrating

dh usually gets up with the LO and does brekkie every day- bloody great! Smile

on sat he usually takes them our for a while in the morning so i can have 2hrs or so on my own- he is a saint I hear you say Smile

on sunday i sort out the kids in the morning so as he can get a lie in- he deserves it Smile

so, on my lie ins i have to get up to feed ds2- 8 months and i usually then stay up and clear up the kitchen and help dh out of the house- no problem to me, if i am tired i will just go back to sleep and have a lovely quiet house to do it in.

so why do HIS lie ins invleve him getting up and moaning about the kids making a noise and baby crying- he always cries when you dressz him, that's the deal, he's a baby

we live in a little flat- not my fault!, not dh's fault, just that is the way it is.
so how can he expect the kids to be silent and make no noise at all on his lie in days?
and knowing that from starting to get ready with all 3 of us in PJs to actually getting out of the house can take 1.5hrs, with teeth brushing, nappies (my own toilet needs) clearing up so the place looks ok...why is it such a shitter that i ask for 20mins of his time so that we cna get out of the house and leave him quiet?

aghhh, i just hate the little sarky sulky comment "great lie in, thanks everyone" WTF does he think is happeneing? does he think any of us do it deliberately just to annoy him, or is it just that baby needs a nap and i need to poo??? where's the malice in that?

So, after a small outburst on my behalf (uncharacteristic) and a few tears, he has gone out this morning with the boys, i have a lie in and i am too angry to rest- all becaue i tried to give him the saturday lie in this week (as he usually sleeps in the afternoon on saturday anyway)

I was up5 times in the night with the kids, and had a very busy day visiting reliies that dh doesn't really want to see... got in at 10pm, 1/2 hr before dh who went out
grrrrrrr Angry
whay can't he see that i try really hardx to make his life nice.??

sorry, that is more of a free form rant than a post anyone can understand.
i do know that i have a lovely dh and he really does help with the kids- but my belief is that they are his kids too so it would be pretty shit of him if he didn't tbh

but it is just the comments and the "i am up now, so i won't be able to get back to sleep so i might as well just do it all" type of stuff going on that does my head in

Just tell him if there was anything you could do about it you would. This is life with a baby. My 2 are 5 and 3 and I only just get an uninterrupted lie in on some Saturdays.

oops - no advice but just wanted to sympathise with you on the sarcastic comments front. My dh does this and it really drives me mad - can be very upsetting I know. On the other hand he is also a housework angel - guess we just can't win on all counts eh?!
