sick child and bored boyfriend

[freeish]

I am lurking on MN as I keep my child company as he is sick with a fluey cold and in a bed on the sofa. Boyfriend is currently staying with us for a few days and does not have his car here. He is all grumpy and has taken himself off to my bedroom because he is 'bored'. I have suggested a walk, a board game etc. I even offered to let him mow my lawn :) . Am I right to feel a bit annoyed that he does not get that when you have a sick child you can't do much? He is expressing frustration about 'another wasted day' etc. I would suggest he goes home but he needs me to drive him and it's an hour and a half away. Any advice?

I am afraid that it sounds like to needs to grow up a little bit. At the moment he is acting like another young child.

Yes a train or cab at his expense, then ide dump the selfish thoughtless git

I hope your little one is feeling better soon

My advice is to bin this boyfriend. You are currently dating a teenager in a man's body. He can get a taxi to the train station or a bus.

My advice - ditch him! I couldn't be doing with childish behaviour like that.

I'd tell him him piss off home, you have a sick child, you dont need a whiny man child to add to that.

Well thank you I wondered if i was being unfair. I feel like I'm expected to entertain him as well as care for child and prepare food and clean up etc. Perhaps I will suggest train so he doesn't waste more of his holiday on being with us.

He sounds ridiculous. That's life when you have children, especially when they're sick.

I hope your son gets better soon

Oh please tell him to go home, he is so asking for it. Is he not able to get a train, bus or helicopter or something?

Advice?

Your boyfriend needs to grow the fuck up. He sounds like my 10yo on a wet afternoon.

Please get some counselling to work on your self-esteem and dump this person. There is no reason to put up with an adult like this.

Tell him to get lost, he can take the train home.

Given the choice to spend my days with my poorly child or spend it with a whino, I'd pick my DD any time.

What a douchebag.

Tell him to fuck off and grow up.

i have just suggested he gets a train ( i live 5mins from a station) but he doesn't fancy it. I'm going to let him get on with it and do a bit of lego with my son.

Tell him you'll call him a cab to the train station. A poorly kid and a sulky dude at the same time is just to much of a pain in the backside.

So what if he doesn't fancy it? It's your home and he is being an annoying tosspot. Tell him to leave. Why are you skivvying for this wanker, preparing food, cleaning and such? You already have a child.

Freeish - you are allowed to ask him to leave you know. I wouldn't give him house room, myself

Is he often like this? Why do you let him come round at all?

You already have one child, you do not need a manchild as well to run around after.

He's worse than useless and I would agree with the respondent who suggested you have counselling to improve your own self esteem levels.

Tell him that you don't fancy listening to him whining like a sulky teenager.

If he can't act like an adult, he needs to leave. You won't be driving your sick child anywhere, so the choice is between the train and the bus.

I'd tell him to sling his hook. He's no use to you.

It doesn't look good for the future of the relationship, TBH.
I'd probably shove him out the door.

Drive him an hour and a half when you have a sick child lying on the sofa? Sod that, give him the bus-fare and tell him to bugger right off.

Yes don't let him create an atmosphere in your house, not nice for you or your little boy. He can go and sulk somewhere else.

Why dont you tell him to leave? It is your home, your child is sick, why let this useless boyfriend dampen the mood?

Is the sex really that good?

Could you get a friend to take him to soft play?
