Petty, perhaps...

But I am not going downstairs, gonna stay up here in bed with the kids and maybe even read a book.

All I did was ask J to brush K's teeth before bed. I had put BOTH kids in the bath myself, AGAIN (despite the fact that he was home) and yes, he did dry off L but really was there any need for him to snidely ask why he has to be the one to brush K's teeth?? It is the ONLY thing that I even ask him to do for the kids. And I have to beg, prompt, reminder him every night to do it. God forbid he should have to help out. In the end I brushed her teeth, got her dressed, got both kids to sleep while he enjoyed a leisurely bath all by himself, the bastard!!!! (said only slightly tongue-in-cheek)
So I am sulking upstairs.

I never thought he was gonna be such a hands-off daddy (sigh)

    oooh, I am going through this in bulk at the moment. Driving me fuckin insane. Last night it was a pair of undies - why didn't I just remember to get them out with the rest of the PJs? the night before it was Marina's milk - which I had made and could hub please just take it upstairs to her while I get her hotty - why hadn't I thought about the hotty sooner so then I could take both upstairs together???

    I have turned into angry mummy and I hate it. I swear to god if they weren't 4, 3 and 1 that I would do a runner.

    And all you did was hide upstairs?! I'm proud of you - I would have been yelling and screaming by that stage.

    thanks for taking my side, achan ;)

    GW - I laughed when I saw your post this morning - same thing happening all over Japan, perhaps? But I think I get it now --J was probably pissed off at me for not having laid out L's clothes and nappy for after the bath! HE actually had to try to find them ("where is his nappy? where are his pjs?"...L is 10months old, they are in the same place they have been FOR THE LAST 10MONTHS, dude, lol.

    Nay - I am trying out a new identity, all "chicken soup for the soul" and "don't sweat the small stuff" and all that. Will let you know how that goes for me ;P
