I'm not going to flip out, I'm not going to flip out

DJ has xt three days off, and I asked him to do 2 things today so that we can both enjoy the rest of the week.  One- load the dishwasher/pick up the kitchen and two- do the laundry. I come home to a messy kitchen because he didn't bother touching it and laundry on top of the dog kennels that was been washed but not hung. He didn't get around to perm press stuff so I have no pants for work. He hasn't left the apt except to go get chicken that he originally asked me to get on the way home but I told him he had enough free time to walk a block to the store. 

Arghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! When I was home SICK, I still did all the laundry, washed sheets, cleaned and had dinner ready when he got home. It is taking all that I have to not flip out on him.

 

Breathe in, breathe out....

  • I don't think it would hurt to let him know how you feel. Start it by saying, "I know it wasyour day off but the reason I specifically ask you to take care of x, y, z was so that a) I would have pants, b) we could enjoy the rest of our week together..." (And I am really frustrated and trying to to rip you a new one right now) I find this happens a lot w/ DH, especially if he is inthe relaxation-day off mode instead of get- stuff taken care of mode.

  • I will later but I need to calm down. I even reminded him a few times over the weekend and yesterday that I was gonna need his help to catch up. 
  • If I were in your shoes I'd try to calmly communicate a clear message about how this makes you feel. 

    Sorry hun, not acceptable DH behavior Indifferent
