Is it really a happy new year?!

With Facebook feeds and Instagram posts full of the joys of welcoming in a new year, just wanted to share that it's not all so perfect for all of us!
I'm 37 weeks pregnant, been doing house work all day and taking down decks! My choice, I'm a very clean person! OH is not, I'm pretty sure I could put a dog poo on the floor near him and he would not notice (choose to not notice) for weeks!!!
Had a nice Chinese for tea, came upstairs alone for a bath and to relax, fell asleep on the bed half watching Tv, he's down stairs gaming till 11.30!
A bit sad really that he decided that's where he would stay for the night but at least I have peace!!
Up he comes at 11.30 demands to know where his pjs are that were dirty and left on the floor about 1 week ago.... in the wash obviously!! A few tuts later I explain he has some new ones in his wardrobe. Another tut and he gets them out and throws the package on the side! I ask him to put packing in bin he ignores me, I explain I have been cleaning all day.... not that it's a secret as he's been watching me!!
Anyway, packing still sat on side, and I start a sneezing fit! I won't deny I can be a bit loud with
A sneeze! But being so pregnant I need to manage my sneeze carefully as I'm sure many women will understand...!!! It hurts my fat swollen stomach and I will piss myself!! So he shouts at me to shut the fuck up as my sneeze hurts his ears!!!!! Poor delicate little flower he is!!! I go to the bathroom and blow my nose and dispose of packing (I know I should of left it but it will stare at me all night)!!! Only to find his piss on the loo seat, which he Denys as he said he sat down
For a poo so it couldn't possibly be him!!!! So I guess it was me??!! Or the dog?!
Anyway I come back to bed to watch the fireworks to find he's changed the channel, I lost my shit and he's stormed off down stairs because I'm a crazy cow and I welcomed in the new year alone with the dog!! I have not and will not admit that I actually had it on the wrong channel and he switched to the correct one!!!! Saving face and all that!!
Cheers and happy new year!!!! It will be a quiet one tomorrow as he doesn't do anything wrong and I'm as stubborn as an ox!!
Seriously though happy new year Mumsnet ladies, hopefully someone can smile at our 1st world problems!!
With a bit of luck he won't come back to bed and me, the dog and bump can starfish the bed!! Xmas Wink

It sounds like you are both nitpicking at each other .
Hope you find a more chilled out 2020!!

There’s more to life than bleaching the loo. Good luck with motherhood, they are grimy little bastards.

So he left his PJs somewhere a week ago and they weren't where he left them, he put packaging on the side, got pissed off with you sneezing after the martyr act he'd been watching all day and pissed on the toilet seat.
Was he pissed off that you cleaned all day or that you treated normal behaviour like a cardinal sin?

Is this written by him?

Are you his mammy? Seriously what grown man asks his wife to find him his pjs.

So he shouts at me to shut the fuck up as my sneeze hurts his ears!!!!!

And this! A man would say this once to me in this tone.

I suspect this might have been posted as a bit of fun OP but it sounds joyless and grim.

But lovely to see the people posting who think he is the wronged one. no wonder this shit continues generation after generation. poor men.

Posted as a light hearted poke of fun at myself and OH for being such a child!
I often write out a post on here but never submit!

Yeah it’s lighthearted if that is the life you want. He is disrespectful, abusive and babyish. It’s up to you though.

category12 · 01/01/2020 09:21

You do realise that he won't step up when the baby arrives, and you will be doing everything while being knackered?

It's easy to tolerate a lazy manchild when it's just you and him. It wears fucking thin when you have kids.

You would be well advised to take his disregard and lazy entitlement seriously.

TwentyViginti · 01/01/2020 09:27

You have to manage his pyjamas? Surprised you had sex with him at all tbh.

AttilaTheMeerkat · 01/01/2020 09:28

What category12 wrote. That is your life going forward too. He won't magically improve when your baby arrives, such entitled men like this do not change.

TwentyViginti · 01/01/2020 09:40

In fact he'll start to be resentful when baby arrives and you can't give him as much attention and mummying him as you are doing now.
