I'm really, really annoyed with DH
He's pretty much either sat on his butt all day playing his stupid PS3 and watching football (although, he did let me sleep in this morning) or been trailing food/plates all over the house.
Today, I have made apple cinnamon pancakes, eggs and bacon (washed dishes, by myself afterwards AND cleaned one very messy high chair) picked up toys in the LR four different times-its once again trashed!-washed, folded and put away three loads of laundry, sewed a sewing machine cover and apron, finished knitting a soaker, made a pot of chili (also loaded dishwasher this time, and again cleaned a super messy high chair. we are just beginning BLW, and it is crazy!) went to starbucks and brought something back for him, and dyed my hair.
He's currently sitting in front of the TV, still. Has not even asked/looked at my hair (which, by the way, looks like sh!t. i don't know why i try) and he has DD over his shoulder in a dark LR b/c he couldn't tear himself away from the TV long enough to get her back to sleep once I started on my hair. I soothed/put her down three times before going into the bathroom.
Somebody isn't getting any for a looooooooooong time. And I think I may just buy the new didy I've been eyeing with our Christmas cash and not feel bad about it.

Re: I'm really, really annoyed with DH
I cannot tell you how often your story represents the reality of my life. I finally told dh last weekend that the kitchen is now his to clean. As is the cat box.
I do all of the laundry, pick up the house, pay all of the bills, do the shopping, take care of everything kid-related, work full time, and run artsyfartsyfoofoo. I am simply exhausted, and it's time he tear himself away from his little Ascheron's Call (sp?) buddies and pitch in around here.
/rant.
come share some tea with me
I'm so sorry. It is my firm stance that there are no game systems in my house. They are evil IMO.
I know that's not the whole problem here, but I like to get that out whenever possible.
Sorry ::hugs::
You deserve to get yourself a gift after that day!!
I agree, however, I cannot take away DH's work-issued laptop.
:-|
You deserve to get yourself a treat! And any chance you could give me some of your energy?!?!?
I'm thankful that my DH grew up in a household where his father did everything while his mom sat on the couch watching Falalala Lifetime and eating chips, so the fact that I do half of everything is great for us. Haha!
Maybe the PS3 should accidently disappear for a couple days.....I hear Santa takes things back like that for bad DH's!
i feel the same way, amandahearn, but he grew up in a home where imaginative, brain powered play was not really encouraged. if they were outside, they should be raking, weeding, mowing, etc. instead of playing and the TV is.always.on at his moms, even if no one is home. i'm not joking.
honestly, he's usually never this bad. like he will go weeks without playing. its just a new game/new system and today i was super annoyed. i have, however, noticed a definite decrease in his offers/self-motivation to help out with things like dishes since DD was born, though!
Your story is my story but my husband wants ME to get a job so he can stay home with DD. He has NO idea what I do. When I don't do things he makes snide comments...
