Having "one of those days"

Today has been a real nothing day. If it wasn't for my housecleaner I doubt any housework would've been done & I wouldn't have gotten out of my pj's.

I have bronchitis again I think (exact symptoms to when I had it earlier in the year) so have an extremely sore throat, & an annoying phlegmy cough! So everytime i swallow it hurts so bad I cringe.

Dh got home around 5:15pm & was being really lovely I was thinking "that goodness for him!". Even though my hair hadn't been done he was telling me how hot i looked & how much he loved me & then cooked dinner .

Now I know why he was being so nice.... a few friends were meeting for drinks tonight as a friend is moving to Oz. So he would've been extra nice to sweeten me up since he knew he'd be going out tonight.

I was sort of wondering why he was being sooo nice to me, but then since having Jett he's been really good & sweet me to so wasn't really out of the ordinary.

But i wished he actually would've told me he was going to go & have drinks, instead of me finding out by his mate turning up to our place (for dinner as well) all dressed up & ready to go. FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN CONNED!

Also feel like a lonely day since I've just been at home with the kids & haven't had an adult conversation (besides the housecleaner who only annoys me anyway..) so couldn't wait for Dh to get home to spend some adult time with him. But that lasted all of half an hour before he cooked dinner whilst I bathed the kids then his mate turned up, then they left to go out. So feeling lonely & sorry for myself with having this stupid illness & being left at home!!!!

I was looking forward to snuggling up on the couch with Dh & watching t.v. tonight, instead I'm moaning to you guys about it instead. Hope someone's bored enough to respond to my rant.

And I feel like I have no life while DH can come & go as he pleases. If i wanted to go out I'd have to make sure either Dh was going to be home to watch the kids, or organise for my mum to watch them.   Dh doesn't even ask me or tell me he's going out, just does it!

Men! They just don't get it

I hope you feel better soon. Maybe just tell your DH he is booked in this Sat (or whatever day suits) to look after the kids while you go and have some time with a friend or even on your own having something nice done (facial?)

been there, done that. And you're probably still low in "happy hormones" with Jett being so little. It's nice that he was considerate about doing dinner etc though, but hopefully you guys can have a chat sometime and schedule a few more breaks every now and then. Take care, have a nice bath or milo or something tonight

Me too! Big hugs to all of us mums who constantly shoulder the responsibility for our families, and get forgotten in the process.

Men just don't get it sometimes.... DP just goes about his daily life, and while he would certainly tell me if he was going out, he does things like just goes and has a shower, or goes and gets the paper on a saturday morning without telling me - whereas I have to make sure he's able to watch Joshua before I do anything that involves leaving him.....

Yeah, BIG HUGS TO US COOL MUM'S

I always get annoyed on the weekend when he just goes outside to muck around in the shed. Which is fine cos I realsie he needs a break on the weekend, but we dont get a weekend anymore, and all I would like is him to ask me if theres anything I need help with first - and I have told him this but he always forgets.

That's the same as us aimeejoy, DH used to almost lives in the shed during the weekends and I never got to spend much weekend time with him. Eventually we decided that one day would be just for family time so at least we get to spend one day a weekend just for family time.
