Lighthearted (sort off) does anybody else want to kill their OH after having spent so much time together over Xmas?!

As the title suggests, I’m so fucking irritated with my OH, he will have had almost 3wks off by the time he goes back to work on the 4th jan and I am slowly losing the will to live! I work part time so it is usually just me and my DS on Thursdays and Fridays, I am completely introvert and need lots of time on my own.
He never goes anywhere! Just lays on the sofa, coughing, spitting up into tissues (man flu again) scratching his balls, falling asleep an hr after he has got up, it’s infuriating! The only time he leaves the house is when I force him out to walk the dog. Just to clarify, this is not just him having a well earned rest over the Xmas period, this is life all the time, he is usually at work all week and I just about cope at wknds!
I know I sound like a whining cow but I needed to vent before I actually have a meltdown.

I definitely don't want to kill him much but he had to go into work today for a few hours and I was quite glad.

It's lovely being all together but he creates chaos in the house.

I can’t wait to go back to work on Tuesday and get some peace!
It doesn’t help that our son is mega clingy and wants to be with me all the time, he won’t even go to out with his dad at the min without me going with them, so we end up doing everything together 🙄

I'm in the same boat, DP will be lucky to see in the new year. DDs sleep has been majorly disrupted by Christmas goings on (DPs side of the family made things difficult because they never make plans that are suitable for a toddler) , she is also teething and has a cold. As she is BF it is me getting up every ten minutes in the night, then DP moans that he is tired in the morning and didn't sleep well because he has been drinking. He knows if he drinks he doesn't sleep well, and then is useless in the daytime because he is 'too tired'. I haven't had more than a 2 hour block of sleep in five days and I am going a bit loopy, him telling me how tired he is is making me feel very very stabby.

No. Mine worked yesterday and again today and I really wish he was off especially as it is snowing BUT mine never lays about. He does any chores he sees and regularly forces kids out on bike rides etc. If he was just scratching his balls on the sofa then I'd probably feel very differently!

I totally get you about being an introvert and needing alone time, I got so grumpy and snappy with my boyfriend a couple of days ago, just because I hadn’t spent any time alone for ages and just wanted to be left in peace! He was only trying to be affectionate and I was a bit of a bitch to him Blush he got it once I’d explained though.

Silkpyjamas.......
I totally hear you! My little one is still nursing too, won’t settle for my OH, still wakes 10,000 times a night and yes it’s me who hasn’t slept in 2yrs. Why do people make plans that are so un toddler friendly?! My little one needs structure otherwise just a nightmare. OH got up this morning on one moaning as the dog had woken him up by jumping on the bed, are you fucking serious?! I’ve slept more than 4hrs at a time for 2yrs!
Glad it’s not just me 😀
