Ungrateful husband

[scunnered]

My husband was away for the week end. I was at home with 2 kids under 3 whisch I really don't mind. The thing that bothers me is that on his return he spends the evening slumped in front of the tv while I end up cooking his dinner which he turns his nose up at and doing a pile of ironing and all the usual house work. When I suggested it would be nice to get some attention from him or a bit of adult conversation this went down like a lead balloon. He complained that he was too tired. I just feel really p off as I have never had a single night away from the children and he has never been left on his own to look after them even for a full day.

"I have never had a single night away from the children and he has never been left on his own to look after them even for a full day."

and there lies your problem!!!!!!! untill he has had to look after the kids/house on his own he will never appreciate how much hard work it is. dd1 was 12 months when i left her alone with dh for the first time (only for 1 day, no nights involved) and never again has he said that i had the easy option being at home.

Are you married to my dh?????????????

Agree with all the others.

Book a weekend away with the girls.

I think you are all right. I am my own worst enemy by not going away and leaving my husband to get on with things. I can feel a spa weekend approaching. Hopefully I will then return home feeling pampered and relaxed to a grateful husband (and a house that looks as if a bomb has gone off in it)!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, this will sound harsh, but why are you putting up with this? If my husband turned his nose up at a meal, he would have it dropped on his head. He needs knocking into shape! Send him round to me .

ever since dp had to mind dd while i worked he's had a new found appreciation for how tough it can be..... get out of the house and let your dh experiance it for himself.

you sound like you definitely deserve a break
