Super annoyed right now
It was my sons 7th birthday on NYE and today I hosted a party at our house. I literally did everything, the cleaning of the house, decorating, making the cake, getting and wrapping presents, food AND cleaning up everything after. On top of taking care of my 11 month old baby. My SO didn’t lift a single finger to help, didn’t even offer. Then, just to top off the day, at the end of the day I reminded him that our floors are being replaced on Monday (we unfortunately had a flood in our house in Oct that ruined our wood floors,) and that we had to take our TVs down when they demo the current floor so they don’t get ruined. He got frustrated and asked if that was really necessary, I said yes, if we don’t want them broken. I said if it’s too much, I can figure something out (trying to be supportive, because he seemed stressed about it) He immediately snaps at me, I know how to do it! I put them up! So I said I know, I never said you didn’t know how to do it. Then he said, you think I can’t do it, just like you think I can’t fix the vent and and towel rack.
Back story: we have a towel rack that’s been broken off the wall in the bathroom for like, 2 years almost. Same with a vent cover on the ceiling. Since they’ve been broken for so long, I asked my SO if he cared if my brother came over to fix them, since we just don’t have time. He says that’s fine. So I have my brother come over the other day to look at them to see what needs to be done to fix it and my SO says because I did that, that means I think my SO doesn’t know how to fix it, even though I ASKED HIM BEFOREHAND if my brother could look at it.
Like FML I work my ass off all day then to top it off you decide to be a jerk to me over something stupid. Like if it’s so important to you to do it yourself than maybe you should have made it a priority the last two years.
I feel so unappreciated and taken for granted. Thanks for letting me vent.
