Hi
Why is it that my dh has to be such a baby! He is really getting on my nerves at the moment its unbelievable!
Here is the story, will try and keep it brief:
I worked Monday night 20:00-07:45. I arrived home at 08:00 I had already been up for 24 hours. Bruce went to work and I took the children to school/playschool. I arrived home at 09:20. I went to bed and got up at 11:30. (2 hours sleep). After picking up the boys I made thier lunch and sat down with them. The boys were tired, because they were up earlier than usual and it was thier birthday on Sunday. They wanted a nap. I thought ok. They went to bed 13:00-14:00. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to catch another hours sleep, as I felt so drained. We all got up. Total of 3 hours sleep in 31 hours. I pick Casey up from school. Go through her home work and then get dinner on. Bruce doesnt like microwaving this particular meal. I cook twice to make sure that he gets it fresh. Bruce comes home and looks rough he has another cold. I said to sit down I will deal with the kids. I put them all to bed. We sat down and watched a bit of TV together before I arranged the kids clothes and Casey's packed lunch. Its now 39 hours with 3 hours sleep. All I did was reminded Bruce about his cake that he hadnt eaten it, it would get dry (boys birthday cake from Sunday). He started to moan at me saying if you want it you eat it! Where on earth did that come from! I didnt want it and he then decided I that the hump with him. Bruce closed the web down and slammed the keyboard shut.
Said I want the happy Michelle back. 
I started to go to bed and he started to shout that I was storming up the stairs to bed with the hump! Again What???? By this time I was so angry with his attitude. I rudely reminded him that I had been up for 39 hours and what would he of preferred me to do, go to bed as soon as he got in and he had to of done all the preparation of school for tomorrow or me stay up and do it. To have some consideration. As I was walking to the bathroom he was moaning about something. I couldnt quite hear what he said and to be honest I chose to ignore him.
Anyway, today comes. Bruce mentions he wants a computer game £49.99 not a bank breaker, but I am working all the hours under sun to pay for this damn holiday next month and having to stay up for 39 hours. Everytime I want something I get the "is it on the budget". I said to him as a joke "is it on the budget". He is an Accountant and makes sure that everything and I mean everything to a pair of tights goes on the budget. Now we are not that short, but after 7 weeks out of work it really hit the bank. He said no its not on the budget and I wont get it then. I tried to explain myself and he replied "I dont want to talk about it" I then get an email saying if I cant have it I dont want to talk about it. How childish is that. After his attitude I dont care that he cant have it now. Before I was joking and I certainly am not now.
I made sure that my point was well put across by my email. Explaining that because I might not look tired, I am. He has no way of feeling how tired I am without doing what I do. How much I work etc.... Finally he said I get your point.
Sorry to rant, but needed to get it off my chest and also to see if I am being unreasonable. My point is that how can Bruce be so insensitive to tell me to be happy and he wants the happy Michelle back when I am working 44-55 hours a week and then being up for 39 hours as well as run a house! Surely I am not wrong to get offended by comments like that am I???

I can understand what your saying Michelle, we all go through stages like this
. He probably wouldnt of minded if I didnt cook it fresh. The problem is when he starts to moan about my attitude when I am working these hours and losing sleep too. For instance I could not sleep well last night even though I had been up the whole night before. My body clock is so out of wack at the moment. It doesnt know what its doing. I feel so tired and no motivation to do anything. Bruce is having a tough time at work at the moment, but I will accept some of his bad moods, but certainly wont when he brings me into it. I didnt like being told that he wanted happy Michelle back. That made my blood boil. He rang at lunch and as much as I didnt want to talk to him I thought better had, because I didnt want to be a child. I have had it now. I wont be breaking my back for him now. He has a cold tough luck! I wont be doing any extra to help him out. He is so great with the kids. He takes them off my hands when he gets in, because he doesnt see them all day. I will be going to bed when I am ready and not staying up to help. Sod him!
Wish we were coming out there with you.
