Boyfriend annoys me when hes not in work

I'm a 30 year old female, partner is 30 year old male. We have an 8 month old baby girl

My partner has days off work if the weather is bad, (he works outside) most of this week he's been off work due to the rain.

I dont know what it is but whenever be has time off work I start to really dislike him! He turns his boredom into MY problem. I could be getting along with chores, washing, ironing etc and he just sits there complaining how bored he is!

When hes in work me and my baby have a lovely routine, breakfast, bath get dressed for the day, go to a few shops, visit friends/family. Or spend the day in the house playing of her playmat/ball pit etc

I find as soon as partner is home my whole routine goes out the window. I even find I sit there watching day time tv with him which is somthing I never do! And not to mention the amount of food he eats when he's home because apparently he's "starving" even after the big cooked breakfast he just had

If I try to get on with my usual play (visiting a family member for instance) he trys to take along.

I dont knownwhat it is but it infuriates me! I don't know if I'm being nasty of if anyone else feels this.

I personally think he had adhd as he cannot deal with boredom!

He kept going on about starting the gym a few weeks ago.. now could of been the perfect time. But has he? Absolutley not!

Am I being horrible or does anyone else feel this lol, I don't even know why I'm posting this isn't even really somthing for people to answer lol

Nah I'm the same 😂
If my husband is about it changes the dynamic and I end up doing less, I sometimes think its because I expect him to do more on days off and so end up waiting around for him to help.

It drives me crazy

Why is a fully grown man telling me he's bored 100x a day. And eating all the food in the house like a teenager

I just become unmotivated around him to

This would drive me mad.
Tell him to set up a routine for himself for bad weather days as these are likely to be more common now as we go into winter.
Tell him it has to involve him being out of the house at some point so maybe gym or swimming.
A diy task list
Chores
Spending time with dc
Cooking dinner
Start a course that might be useful

It's really hard work! To some it might sound like petty problem. But there's nothing more unattractive than another adult complaining they are bored.. over and over again, on repeat for the whole day. I try and get out of the house myself because I don't want to be around it and he invites himself!

Sounds like he has a routine at work but at home he's just at a loose end. Does he have no hobbies or things he likes to do? I can understand you getting fed up, it's like having another DC following you around saying their bored, surely there's something he likes to do apart from work?
