I wonder how many rows will be had tomorrow...

[LucyJones]

As the weather is going to be hot hot hot and all the men will want to do is stay indoors watching the footie instead of doing fun family outdoor activities

On the basis of "if you can't beat them, join them" we're having a World cup barbecue party tomorrow, so hopefully no rows...

DP is rigging the telly up in the garden - so classy!

WE have had ours, I wanted to take dd and some friends to the beach for a picnic tea and games but he wanted to watch footie and he is the one who drives.

So I turned a blind eye as they ran in and out of he house loudly disturbing his viewing.

No rows here - dh is leaving at 3.30am to get on his flight to Germany. He called me on Thursday to say that a client had dropped out so his boss had offered him the ticket, and I couldn't say no. Even though we are going on holiday on Thursday and I haven't even started packing, in fact I don't even have enough suitcases yet!.

None here. I am taking DD to a birthday party. DH is nipping into work for an hour and then going to a friends (I think) to watch the football. He will be driving though, so no drinking allowed.

none here, Dh is paying for me to have my hair done in the morning while he takes all three kids Golf and to his mums, then i will take kids to (whispers) macdonalds for lunch and then i have been told i can got to bed for the afternoon!!!!! Have told him he can watch all the football as long as he looks after the kids at the same time so i can have 'me' time!!!

Lots - but all until the football starts. We're driving to Scotland for our holidays (first ever with BabyRed - hooray).

So expected tally of rows:

6am - 6:15am: one row about whose turn it is to get up with BabyRed
7am - one row about why dh is incapable of packing everything the night before
7:30am-one row about how much of my crap we can fit into the car
8am - one row about having to turn back when half way to the motorway because I've forgotten something
8:30 - 1pm: various rows about directions; car temperature; music; toilet breaks
1pm - one row about having to unload all of my crap into the cottage

So probably a minimum of 10 rows until we get to the cottage and settle down in front of the football.

i read somewhere that the incidents of domestic violence increases during these times. especially if a team wins and drink is involved.

yep I said the same in my post below custardo, shame realy....

Well dh has been out since 11.30am . Im in early stages of pregnancy so feel as rough as can be and dd (1) is ill, must admit dh has also been up with her as well in the night as she's been throwing up etc BUT I can't believe he's still gone ahead with his plans. I HATE FOOTBALL.

Like I said below..he won't be home till sunday morning...at a guess. .

Fireworks are about to erupt in this house.

I am struggling with awful hayfever and have a huge pile of marking, lessons to plan and an essay to write. Am on my third load of washing two of which have also been dried ironed and put away. The beds have been stripped and changed and the whole house cleaned and I am entertaining a house full of children - in this heat. On top of that we are supposed to be doing a car boot so I have been lugging boxes out of the shed and loft - almost broke one of beuatifully french manicured nails

Am doing this alone as at eleven dp announced that he needed to go and see his mum - muggins here had forgotten the f***g football was on.

I am so angrty not because he has gone to see the football- although I am not impressed at being left alone to do everything- but bevause the silly little twat has lied.

Well, I'm pissed off with dh, despite what I posted yesterday. He watched the game for over 2 hours, I have done the dishwasher, played with ds, sorted out washing, cooked macaroni cheese, and now he has gone off on a bike ride , despite it being his night to put ds to bed...Plus, he was out last night.

I keep reminding myself that I have it easy in the week, whilst he has to commute.

you are lucky. At least he's not sat in some pub. DH is still out.

Hi well DH left at 12.30 promised (mmmmn like I believe any promises he makes when he is out drinking plus most of the friends he has gone with are single and no commitments to get home to) to be ome by 8 so we'll see gives him 5 minutes to get home. SHHH my DD is ill too finally settled at 1.30am this morning got up at 7 and had rash so thought might be chicken pox anyway no more spots so my mum thinks its heat rash bu she has got a really bad cold. All this and I'm 9weeks pregnant and had her and her bogey nose all afternoon lucky enough my mum and dad invited us their for tea and they looked after her for a couple of hours but my mum kept goingon about how DH should be at home and not in the pub aaargh I know that but theres no point arguing about it!!

No rows here either, dh and ex dh watched the football together today with ds and dd while I went to the hairdresser. It was eerily quiet on the streets, quite nice really.

elliepippamummy, think we must be married to the same person..!
BTW my parents have been saying the same..well not in so many words. I just wish sometimes that I could have such a carefree life as he lives.

WWW I keep forgetting just how civilised your DH and and ex Dh are.

SHHH I know but at the same time I think we chose to have DD and bump and therefore I feel that if I have to sacrifice a bit of my social life fine but he thnks that seeing his mates is important (regardless of the fact that he plays footie on tues and thurs nights with them every week!!!!!)

LadySJ, I know, it's good! I came in to find them chatting on the sofa, looking after the children, all very civilised!

thats true about baby and bump. We have responsabilities but then surely so do they. We also give up alcohol for 9 months. grrrrr... Like to see dh try for 9 days.

OMG..bizarre..fotie on a tuesday and thursday..well only tue for dh..maybe that explains his lateness on a thurs...

I'm starting to get worried they are the same man no sign of him yet (where abouts do you live they could know wach other, we ae in Maidstone Kent)

tried to CAT you...but you don't accept it..

Whats CAT?

The only arguments we have here are about which team ds should be supporting (hes only 7 months) either Ghana (Dh's team) or England (my team) we both love football.

The world cup only comes round once every 4 years Thank God we have the European cup to help us through.

I do feel truely sorry for anyone who has a dh who just goes out boozing when anything slightly sporting is on luckily for me dh and I are both homebirds and neither of us drink. I think it would drive me bananas if dh kept going out.

it's contact another talker. If you go to the above section and go to your registration. Sign in and at the bottom of your profile it will ask if you accept emails from other mn'ers..
Your choice..BTW just to not worry we don't live near to each other ..!!! we can't be married to the same guy.!!!

Think I have done it now do you want to tryagain?
