My wife is righting out the list and is telling me what she's putting on it. I can read a list of messages, thank you. Tell me you're doing a milton75 there. Although you didn't put it in italics so maybe not. Oh! Edited June 29, 2021 by jimbaxters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably get a text which will be impossible to decipher, necessitating a phone call which will become increasingly fractious as she attempts to explain what it is she's looking and which aisle to find it in.

Darren Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Video-called me this morning to ask for a couple of people's numbers to book some tickets, waking me and our daughter in the process. When I asked why this couldn't be done in a text message, she responded "well, I hadn't heard from you". Probably because I was sleeping. Her and her family's obsession with calls (primarily video calls) when a text would do is absolutely infuriating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work permitting I then try to see every match. This should mean I have saved up plenty of football "tickets". In a ray of sunshine moment, when talking last night about telly logistics for the upcoming Euros she ACTUALLY said that as long as I sign her into Netflix on her laptop (because that's my job apparently) then the T.V. is all mine. Oh how I wish I had taped it because I am convinced I will sequel this post at some point this weekend with a story of the collapse of said agreement. In an update on this, it's only fair that I mention she has been as good as gold so far, God love her.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 She went into the town with the bairn earlier.

Cheese? etc etc etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get back 'Ah yeah we need' then reels off about 10 things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Like many couples, Me and my Mrs take turns of getting up with the kids each morning. So last week she was away staying with her mum with our son whilst my daughter stayed with my parents and I had the place to my self for the week. So she came back Saturday and it was decided that I would not only be getting up with the kids on Sunday but I’d have to look after them for several hours whilst she went out to the shops which I agreed to. Monday morning she got up with the kids at around 530 but on Tuesday morning (my day to get up with them) they slept til 645 and we both got up when we would have anyway. Then this morning we clearly had our wires crossed as when both kids were awake and screaming at 530 she assumed I should be the one who got up with then as my day yesterday didn’t count as I got to lay in anyway. I argued back that we were doing it day about and that’s just the luck of the draw and then she hit me back with how I got to lay in every day last week when she was away. To avoid any further fallout I got up with the kids but even when she came downstairs after sleeping an extra hour she still gave me attitude as if I’d acted out of order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was hardly living the life of luxury when they were away for a week as o had to work every day so still don’t think I did anything wrong by assuming it was her day to get up with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pj_puttz Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 It was her turn. End of IMO. Her giving you attitude was her doubling down on her arsehole behaviour to ensure you don’t pull her up. She knows fine well she was at it.If the situation were reversed would she get up or would she say “f**k off, it’s you turn”?There’s your answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
