So the other half is home for the next week, he is resting, having had successful knee surgery last week. He normally works Monday to Saturday and arrives home shortly before bedtime. Most days he appears home while I’m stressing over dinner, dirty floors, tantrums, teething and/or piles of laundry. Huffing and puffing about the hoover being out four times or trying to explain why Frankie had food in his hair AGAIN.
This week I discovered he will never be a stay at home dad, ever and appreciates everything I actually do. While laid on the sofa resting he got to observe my daily routine while trying to run a business at the same time. And guess what he thinks I’m superwoman!!
Here is how he (I mean we) got on…
‘But you’ve just fed him.’
‘Is he serious? You’ve just hoovered’
‘You can never have clean clothes with kids, can ya?’
‘Where’s them magic crystal sachets‘
‘At what age do they sit there and watch a movie?’
‘He’s taking the piss outta me, I’ve just changed his nappy.’
‘I’m going back to work!’
‘You’re taking him with you, aren’t ya’
‘Can we make some sort of beer helmet kinda thing? Yea no one where he can be connected to his bottle at all times’
‘Can you not just put your food in your mouth and leave it there? Look at this mess!’
‘Third time these floors have been cleaned, this is ridiculous.’
‘Leave Tinkerbell (our dog) alone, she’s cleaning the floor!’
‘There are crumbs in his hair!’
‘Is it bedtime yet?’
‘Kayla I’ll give you a fiver if you clean that mess (Kayla was on the ball and asked for the fiver up front).’
‘Frankie ah-ah… I said noooh… awh he never listens to me’
‘He’s not having broccoli. No way! The hoover will be out for the fourth time, not a hope!’
‘Your mother spent ages cooking that, so you will eat it!’
‘I’m definitely going back to work tomorrow.’
‘Hoover, food, hoover, food, wreck the house, change clothes, hoover, food and do it all again tomorrow.’
and finally…
‘Oh NO! This time next year there’s going to be three of them, we’re f**ked!’
He won’t be so quick to question why he’s getting a hambo for his dinner next time!

LOL 😀 Brilliant, such a relief to know it’s not just my house!
He loves the kids i swear, just couldn’t cope with them lol
Mine still has notions of staying at home and writing a novel in his spare time. Hah! He cant even cope for a couple of hours on his own at the weekend 🙂
I know it too well, he nearly shit himself when I told him I was going to Aldi…
Lol love it!
Great that he’s had the opportunity to realise all that you do:) My husband is great but he can’t cope with the food mess at all. Kids do seem to eat 24/7 too don’t they!
Frankie just eats and eats and if he’s not eating he’s looking for something to eat haha. I’m convinced he stays working late to avoid the messy floors haha
This is hilarious. Women undoubtedly have more patience than men, lol!
Fact!
Haha I love this! To be fair to mine, we kinda do 70/30 but he’s not able for the throwing, L likes to throw things a lot!
Hehe love when they actually ‘get it’!!

About time too….
I love this! My hubby always says he appreciates it all but you wonder if they really get what it ALL entails!
This is brilliant! And so true. I love that your dog is called tinkerbell!
This is such a brilliant post. I literally just sat here laughing at my laptop when the British Gas men are here – they gave me a funny look!!!

They think we have it so easy! I’m glad he got to see what really happens.
Brilliant – they really do panic when you mention the potential of leaving the house without the child… great post! #irishBLBinspire

Ha, ha! Love it
I think someday I’m going to sneak out, turn my phone off & see what I come back to!!
Don’t! He may have a nervous breakdown, well if he’s anything like mine he will lol
