My DH can be SUCH an arse!!!

Sorry this is fresh from a row, and not as crucial as some of the other threads I've seen here, but I have to vent!!

I am due to go out with work on Thursday night in London - first night out since I had my second son, who is now 15 weeks. We also have DS1, who is 2. I am really looking forward to it, will be the last time I see lots of these old friends, have bought new clothes for it, and am staying out in a hotel so avoid travelling back drunk. DH at first really supportive of me going, staying home from work on Friday to look after the kids etc.

However, what i knew would happen has happened - as the night approaches he has dropped comments here and there, implying I shouldn't go - he put the kids through bath and to bed on Monday for the first time when i went to the doctors and it was really hard work for him and I think he is now shitting himself about Thursday - "DS2 has a cough, he's really ill, he'll be impossible to put down", "DS1 will ask where you are and get upset" etc etc. Now I feel like I shouldn't go at all!

All I need is for him to accentuate the positives and not mention the negatives. DS2 has a cough but he is fine! It won't kill them not to see Mummy for 14 hours! He is making me feel guilty and I won't enjoy it if I feel bad and I am livid with him for doing this even though I KNEW he would! He goes out every Friday night for two hours to the pub, during bath and bed time by the way so I do that alone at least one night every week.......

No PT you dont have to do it, he is an adult, he can cope without a fag for 5 more minutes

I think some ground needs to be stood here. Blossom, you want to go, you have made all the arrangements, so go.

put it this way..... the other morning i was bfing ds when dd woke up, he swore and blinded about having to get up and pulled her into bed with us and tried to make her go to sleep- with a filthy nappy on had toun latch ds and get up with her and he didn't crawel out til 1 o clock.

he won't do things just coz he has to, i'd just come down and find both babies hysterical so i have to bring him up with me

i agree

he sounds v similar to the way my ex was

lou33 · 22/11/2006 10:19

no, make him learn, they are his kids too

leave the house if you cant bear it, let him take an equal role

I always say this PT to MNers when I read stuff like this. I was a martyr like you are being & my ex-H still had a bloody affair.
You do not get any medals for letting them get away with this kind of cr@p. Buy earplugs & let him get on with it. The children won't die in his care & with practise he will get better.

PinkTinsel · 22/11/2006 10:46

better yet would be to pack him off to work so i can get on with things my way. keep your fingers crossed he gets the one he's hearing from today and i won't be on here moaning again (well not for these reasons anyway!)

enjoy your night out blossam, sorry for hijacking your thread
