my mum was admitted to hospital this morning to have a hysterectomy and her ovaries removed, as she has large growth there, she is insisting that the docs ahve told her its not cancer for definate although we are all adult enough to know that while they can be wuite sure its not cancer they cannlot say for definate untill after a biopsy which has not had yet, so obv we are all v worried about and dp knows this.

anyway she owes him £50 as he paid for my bday from her and he chooses today of all days to create a huge argument with me about it coz he has waited four weeks and is now going to have to wait another a week, what is he meant to do.

what f*ck does he mean what he meant to do what does he want the poor woman to do, get out of hospital to draw out the money!

anyway i got so annoyed i told him i would give the money back on wed but it would mean that we cannot afford to eat for the week (the kids would still have food i just wouldnt have enough for me and dp)

he said that i dont have to this but was still obv in a v bad mood that he didnt have his money and was still going on and on about it so i think i will give him it anyway as he will suffer to since it is me who buys all the food so he will have to find the money to feed himself.

i am being tempremental or is dp being a complete arse going on about money the day my mum gets admitted to hospital?

seriously
are you seriously even asking the question?
of course he is being a twat.
And no , not all men behave like this.

He is being an arse, and being v. inconsiderate and childish. Is he close to her? Just wondering assometimes blokes seem to deal with worry by kicking off about something totally irrelevant...Sorry you're going through this and hope everything goes ok for your Mum x

Maybe he's worried about her and it's come out like this - the only way he can express it?

Kick him inna fork - not all men are this bad, but most of them can be pretty selfish & inconsiderate at times

He is being an arse.

micci25 · 22/05/2008 14:22

no hes not really close to any of my family he is v unsociable and has never said that he is worried about her or asked about the op, but saying that he did lose his dad to cancer so he could be worried.

i did think that he was being a twat but i can fly off the handle at really minor things sometimes when it comes to dp as he is so childish sometimes. its like having three kids at lot of the time.

sometimes i really do wonder what the hell i have got myself into with him.

my mum knew from last week that she was going into hospital so she has had the time to get his money before this, which is his point, but she has been v busy getting ready for hospital, sorting out work and things and obv distracted by worry about the op herself but he cannot seem to understand this.

it sounds like he needs to grow up a bit!

selfish git!

micci25 · 22/05/2008 15:49

yes he does need to grow up a bit but he seems to think that his behavior is perfectly fine. i realise that he wants his money and my mum should have been more organised but what i am annoyed about is that he felt that an hour after she had been admitted to hospital would be a good time to bring this up!

why not this morning when she took me and dd1 to the dentist, when she could have actually got his money for him since we walk past about three cash points walking from carpark to dentist

what is the point arguing over it in the middle of the local shop after she is in hospital and cannot do anything about it!

hopefully it was only himself and not me he embrassed
