When you're so aggravated that you are tempted to do evil evil things?

[Triggles]

One of those days where circumstances (including DH, DD, DS2, and DS3!) have combined to make me feel slightly on edge. DH is (for the MILLIONTH time) snoozing in the chair - his way of dodging doing anything helpful, so he can just wake up here and there, bitch and shout, then nod off again. [mad]

Is it evil to want to sneak up next to him and SCREEEEEAAAAAMMMMM as loud as I can and watch him come unglued and leap to the ceiling in panic? I mean, really, is it?!?! If I was DS2 with his impulsive ADHD, I'd have done it already. Just the thought of doing it makes me a bit helpless with evil laughter. God, the temptation...

Anyone else ever do this?

You know my philosophy Triggs, if it feels as if you're going to the dark side you should embrace it! Via the wine shop, obvs.

Do it. Do the face thing. Doit

hahahahahahahaha you enablers you! but no, DS2 shrieked over something on his laptop and woke him up... dammit! hahahahahahahaa

That's ok... there'll be another opportunity soon... he does it all the time

(pssst... he was snoring last night and I stopped him by putting both my cold feet on his leg and woke him up.... .. I choose my moments... )

I think you definitely have to embrace it Triggles.

We have a friend who always keeps the whole house awake with his snoring (honestly I reckon you can hear it streets away) and once, when we were all a little tipsy and he had fallen asleep in the middle of our party, we painted his face using all the condiments off the party food table - plus squirty cream.

He didn't even flinch and slept on for at least another hour afterwards. Fortunately he did see the funny side when he woke up - at least till he tried to eat it and encountered the chilli sauce blusher! The squirty cream glasses were a welcome relief apparently.

Oh my god!! I told DH he could deal with DS2 having to get up numerous times tonight to use the toilet (tummy issues last couple days), and he's muttering about how he's OUR son, not just HIS!!

Excuse me?!?!?!! I told him fine, from now on, we'll split everything... DLA paperwork, school paperwork, homework stuff, paed appointments, meeting with SALT, meeting with OT, statement paperwork....

FFS, he's sitting here pissing and moaning about it... poor poor overworked prat.....

Just so you don't think I'm being unfair here... I am the one that mostly deals with the boys all day as he stresses out over everything... I am the one that deals with the boys myself when he is at work... I am the one that is usually up half the night with them (and was 3 nights in a row last week when they were poorly)... and HE is the one that took a stupid 3 hour nap today while I cleaned the kitchen, the dining room, did the laundry and some paperwork.

grrrrrrrrrrrr

(seriously thinking I should have screamed when he was sleeping now.... that's what I get for being nice... )

I have a friend call the hoover It makes a lovely noise and clips ankles quite nicely

I have an iron... if I throw it, it has a cord that I can pull it back and throw it again... I might accidentally hit something though...

It's not like I actually use the iron for anything else anyway....

hahahaha! will leave too many bruises Triggles. That and the fact he will then have the excuse to only help with the kids if they are facing on the right or the left depending which side his squashed face points

He's currently in danger of having all his stuff thrown out the first floor window and him after it... [mad]

FFS

He made the comment "if you're looking for an argument, I'll give it to you, then I'll pack up and leave..." so I said "look, if that's the case, just pack up and leave, and spare me the argument..."

this is getting so old....

hmmm well I know what I would do but I dont know your dh lol

Fortunately I am very lucky but if it was my DH I would be retorting. There is no argument or room for one, you are watching the kids tonight as I have all day so its your shift mate.

But like I said I know my DH not yours :)

I don't know him either... not anymore...

sigh

Sometimes I just don't care anymore.. I'm fast reaching the "easier to be single parent than deal with this BS on a daily basis" point...

Were you not getting some counselling on all this business? Or has a date not happened yet.

They couldn't get him in right away, his initial appointment is in a couple weeks. If I don't tell him to leave before then. Honestly, I cannot believe he is sitting here implying that he does more than me. Ridiculous. I can't even leave the house without one or both of the boys, as he cannot cope with both of them. And can only cope with one of them for a very short time. [mad]

no worries... it started out rather light, but then he went full tilt into "ass" mode, and it kinda went downhill....

Surely you had some vacuuming to do while you were so busy :o

pfffft.. no ... if I hoovered, it would have been in the living room... where he was napping... then he'd have complained that I woke him up

DH has out of the blue apologised, admitted he was an ass, and that he doesn't help out as much as he should. You think he realised I was plotting to shave his legs, take the batteries out of the remote, and set his mobile to a cbeebies tune while he was sleeping?

That's real progress Triggles.

Good to hear that he managed to stop and think about you and your feelings for a change - let's hope it's a sign of better things to come for you and your family.

My dh has just had a ds1 style meltdown because, heaven forbid, he had to choose, buy and send (via Moonpig) his own sister's birthday card! It's taken him almost two hours and now he's struggling to checkout.

When he had a go at me about it, I kindly informed him that thanks to his little outburst he has now nominated himself to buy, wrap and deliver all the christmas presents for his side of the family - I think he actually went a proper shade of green at the very thought!
