Need a mini rant

Not too serious but just get fed up when the same old patterns emerge. DH has kept saying that he will wrap the pressies but hasn’t got round to it yet. I haven’t nagged him as we both have loads on. He said about it again tonight then said that it if I’d done some, it would have helped. I haven’t done any because he’d said he would ( he’s much better at it too). I was accused of jumping on what he said ( he often says this & sometimes I do but tonight I don’t believe I did). Anyway, he reckoned he’d already said last year that he didn’t want full responsibility but I don’t remember that. It just became something out of nothing & he ended up doing his usual thing of “ Sorry I mentioned it” which misses the point. It’s hard to explain but somehow I end up feeling in the wrong about something he started! When he went up to bed he said “ I’ve had enough” but he brought up the subject. Now I’m typing it, it comes across as petty. Basically he was probably feeling guilty that he hadn’t wrapped the presents so indirectly pushed that onto me. He’s been pretty stressed & as I said we both have loads on but I get defensive when he’s like he was tonight.

Oh dear that’s not good! Me, DH & DD are going to do them together tomorrow. He was tired too & he can be a grumpy sod then.

Not sure why you bumped this OP. You're not after advice, you just said you wanted a rant. You've ranted.

Or do you want some advice after all?

I just wrap all the Santa and other presents. It would be too stressful asking him to do it as I'd be involved in every single stage anyway.

Is it just that you're annoyed with or does he not take responsibility for other things as We'll?

Pour a drink, stick on some music and do them together. Unless this is the tip of an iceberg (where he tries to make you responsible for too much of the domestic /organisation burden) then let this one go and try to make it a fun thing.
