I was so looking forward to spending the day together as a family, seeing as it was a public holiday and DF didnt have to work.
But, no, DF decided to spend the morning, from 8 til 2 working on his car at the workshop. It was just like a normal day, i thought that maybe i might get a break from being the main carer for just one day. I spent the day trying to get the nursery ready for when Bubbles arrives, which is in 22 days!!!
Then, when he gets home he complains about being hungry as he didnt have any breakfast, there are 2 different types of cereal in the cupboard and bread, he was just too lazy to do it, and didnt know what he wanted for lunch. I threw suggestions at him, but he didnt know. So i ended up having to cook lunch, as usual, event hough he said he would do it.
Then he spent the afternoon on the computer looking at drag race results. He could have watched TV with DS, cartoons were on and DS loves asking questions about what is happening he makes it really interactive, but no. I came in after watching a bit of playschool and laid on the bed next to the computer to try and get him involved in spending time with us, it didnt work and i started to drift off to sleep, which didnt really work as my bestie called after 20 mins so i spoke with her for 45 mins and still DF sat on the computer. DS comes in with no nappy on and I have to cut short my convo (didnt really mind) to find a nappy that was somewhere and then put a fresh one on him. DF kinda got shirty that i had a little sleep!!!!
We (DS and I) then went to play with his toys and DF sat on the lounge and read car magazines. It never really bothers me but today i just had it. I then had to cook dinner, as usual, which i dont mind doing, but a break would be very much appreciated. We sat down and i suggested that DF give DS a bath, and he did, so that was fine. However, when DS got out he wanted to play trains with daddy, but daddy wanted to read more magazines, so i sat on the floor and built a track and played trains.
I just wish he would take some initiative in getting things done with DS. Its not that hard.
He has now fallen asleep on the lounge, i tried to get him to play cards or something, just interact with me, give me some time (i know i sound selfish). Also i had to make sure that his works clothes are clean and hung out to dry in the lounge room or i would be the worst person tomorrow. He wonders why our BD'ing doesnt happen. I just feel so unappreciated.
Sorry, but i had to get that out. I feel heaps better now. Thanks so much if you made it this far.
