Im a few months pregnant and we are currently having work done to the house, in preparation to sell and move into a rental soon for DP’s job. All fine, however, I’ve been struggling with the dust etc when working from home and even sleeping. The house isn’t huge and it’s unavoidable. It’s not DP’s fault!
However, I’ve explained that over the next few weeks I would like to stay in a family holiday home which is an hour and 10 mins away/49 miles, but means it will be clean and fresh and comfortable, no noise in the day etc and no dust at night. I’ve said to DP that I would obviously miss him and would appreciate him coming over mid week so we can spend time together, as well as at weekends.
He initially said this would be difficult with work 🤨 he does work late to be fair, often until 7/8pm but also there are days when it can be 5 or 6. I said to bridge this gap over the next few weeks he should book some holiday here and there - he has more than enough to take - and also said we should take a couple of weeks off in summer anyway to spend some quality time.
He’s basically made me feel terrible for suggesting this. Seems annoyed I’ve asked him to be there once or twice in the week, still hasn’t bothered to book annual leave and I’m now feeling I’m in limbo as to what to do. We have no living room free due to the work so each evening we are confined to the bedroom area and it’s just becoming stifling. AIBU to make a fuss here and tell him he needs to step it up for a few weeks and get organised?
