Men get right on my nips sometimes.

[Radley]

I've been putting up with dd1 all day, she has been moody, obnoxious, picking on her sister, and, when I tell her off she has been laughing at me.

DH has been on 12 hour days, when he got home, I had run his bath and the kids were in bed.

DD1 came out and started complaining etc, I could hear him complaining 'FFS can I not have 5 mins peace to have a bath', this was to himself, NOT dd1.

Wish he could realise that I've been stuck withthe attitude since 7 this morning and he cannot handle 5 minutes chat.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr men

i know mine is the same sometimes. he grrs at them under his breath and doesn't realise that it makes them feel edgy

I'm now sat with a glass of vino, might as well get rid before i start cutting down on the wine in the new year.

What a total bastard...........................

no offence but when i worked full time i would normally be out for 11 hours and then had to come back, look after my son and sort all the housework too (single mum). it was hell. ive also been unemployed and looked after a baby/toddler all day. that was hell too...so dont be too harsh on him. really, until you step into each other's shoes its hard to understand.

No offence taken, i understand what you mean, but, he is like this ALL the time, it gets to the point that dd1, dd2 and I are walking on eggshells.

This morning he came and woke me up ( I was up at 3,4 and 5am with dd2 AND I've got flu. I asked him to help make the bed and he refused, saying 'what's the point, i'm getting in there again soon', he's on nights tonight.

I told him it would only take a minute and I would appreciate it if he did the same when he gets up, he told me in no uncertain terms that he would not make the bed for me and I would have to do it myself as he couldn't be bothered.

THEN this morning he has nipped into town and threw a major hissyfit because he couldn't find his mobile phone, he was the last one to have it so I have no idea where he put it, he stormed out slamming the doors and making the windows shake and I could hear him chuntering up the driveway, so now, I am on tenterhooks, wondering what mood he will be in when he gets home. I can't win.

This is only a fraction of the behaviour that I have to put up with when he is working. AND this is only with him doing one day and one night shift, imagine what it's like when he does four days and four nights.

I have tried talking to him about it in the past, but, he has said more than once, 'the world stops when he is at work, nothing else matters'

RANT OVER just not feeling well and he is pissing me off.
