I am soooo pissed off with dh I might stab him repeatedly in the night

[KathH]

Dh works really crappy hours. This is the first weekend he's had off in ages. I work full time & have 2dds aged 14 & 10 & 2 ds aged 8 & 2. I do everything round the house - washing ironing, cooking sorting out the garden etc. I have quite a stressful job & am currently studying for exams - this is the second time, managed to pass my first lot just before Christmas. DH promised he'd help more round the house & with the kids. So far this weekend I've washed, ironed, mowed the grass etc. Dh went on the last to watch the football on Friday and was asleep by 8pm, Saturday he played golf all day. Today he's washed the car. He's now moaning at the kids because they're dissturbing a film he's watching. I could seriously kill him.

Mirror his moves if needs be.... he sits on sofa - you sit on sofa. He drinks beer with feet on coffee table - you drink beer with feet on coffee table. See who cracks first.

Works for me every time.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Although no-ones tried to talk me out of repeatedly stabbing him in the night!

How about this: if you stab him in the night, there'll be no-one to look after the kids tomorrow and you'll have to forfeit your well-earnt day off.

Ergo: stab him tomorrow night (Disclaimer: trib is joking, and knows KathH will not actually stab her dh but might prod him with something sharp a few times whilst he's asleep).

who will clean up the mess if you stab him?

you

who will wash the sheets
you

see - rod for your own back.

I ma just reading a book called "how to kill your husband" by Kathy Lette. Only just started, but about a woman who goes on about doing just that, he goes missing and she gets charged with murder.... i must go to bed and read more.

Kathy are you plugging your book?

Oh is that by Kathy Lette? I've seen it but didn't realise. KathH, KathL, it's so obvious isn't it

maybe she is writing under her maiden name

The thing is, is there a market for a book about how to kill one's dh? When MN supplies literally hundreds of reasons why you might want to do it every day. I would just print out an up-to-date list of the threads from 'Am I Being Unreasonable', stick a cover on it and voila - book done.

Very true, it has a list of other handy household hints, like if he wants breakfast in bed, tell him to sleep in the kitchen!

My STBXH was winding me up something chronic once (being rude about the programme I was watching, I think, to the extent that I couldn't hear it) until I told him to f* off and die, as you do. He went quiet - for THREE DAYS. When I eventually said wearily, what am I supposed to have done this time, he said "You want me to die". Like some stupid small child. Mind you that was only a few months before I realised I actually wish he would... but no, I wouldn't do it myself, even though there isn't enough blood in him to make a mess. He's not worth going to jail for.

I keep my dh in check by reminding him that I have access (in my job) to rather of lot of nasty, toxic chemicals and the knowledge to use them! Hmm we need an evil emoticon here...

tribpot: I think that a list of the AIBU threads might inspire rather a lot of MIL murders!

What did you do today, Kath?

Met my friend & went for lunch followed by shopping - dh lives to see another day

Marvellous! Glad to hear it (re the day - will reserve judgement re DH ).

How did he manage? was he much more grateful?

He was doing the matyr thing all night - have told him to get used to it as I'm going out on Sunday
