Infuriating Things Your Partner Does

She decided this morning that we're going to start the wee ones potty training, been through it twice before so we know what we're in for. She conveniently nips out to the shop after we've had a couple of hours without any pee and the floodgates open , and it's not a good start.  The wee one is absolutely hysterical , completely traumatised at all this wet stuff running down her legs and just will not under any circumstance sit on her potty . This happens another 4 times in the next half hour so I phone MrsP to ask her to get more kitchen roll as we're going to run out pretty quick.  

" How's it going ? "

" Nightmare , she's absolutely breaking her heart here and the place looks like someone has had a shower in the living room "

" So what are you wanting me to do , just tell you to put a pull up back on her ? Coz that's not happening , we just have to persevere with this you remember how it was with the boys " 

" I'm not wanting that , I just want you to get more kitchen roll " 

She gets back after an hour and a half away , within 15 minutes the wee ones had another 2 accidents and the Mrs has totally flipped out at her for peeing everywhere and just put a pull up back on her !! 

In a roundabout way I'm having a similar issue but not with a child but with a puppy. I still work from home whereas the wife is physically out at work everyday. Puppy is 10 weeks old and I'm a bit out of my depth having never owned a dug before. Anyway, doing my bit by taking him outside every hour, after a kip, after his scran etc but he'll have the odd accident in the house. Wife goes radge when I tell her he's pished/shat once or twice in the house "ffs!! he's not going to learn if you keep letting him do his toileting indoors, I hope you're taking him out straight away and putting him in his crate when he's sleeping, are you training him during feeding times? are you giving him praise where appropriate? are you giving him sufficient physical and mental play?....and why is the hoose a tip?". Honestly boils my blood when I'm trying to work as well. Summer holidays soon (wife works in a school) so can't wait for a bit of respite during the day.

Unpopular opinions for this pish, but folk in full time work shouldn't have dogs for this very reason. Although that bothers me less than what's going on in your post. I'd take the fucking dog round to her office and tell her it's her turn, or shut the f**k up.

A 10 week old puppy is going to have accidents in the house.  Raithie is doing all the right things you should be doing.

Take her outside and put her in a crate FFS.

We are both working from home today. She has put some music on, which is normally not bad. She's put on a playlist consisting of just Carpenters songs. 

Feels like I am drowning in liquid sugar.

That's shite, what with you hanging around. Nothing to do but frown, I guess.

I'm on my own tomorrow so can play whatever I like. Trouble is, even the music I normally like I am a bit bored with. Just one of those moods I guess.

You'd probably prefer a kind of hush all over the world tonight. You know what I mean.

When I repeatedly get asked these "Did you" questions, I just say "No"...

Up there with "don't drop/spill/break" something. I just stand there looking dippit and say "Don't drop it or drop it?? Ahhhhhh right, thats where I've been going wrong"

I'd kick her in the pie (Copyright P&B members before #MeToo)

On a side note, I am amazed at the amount of procrastinating she does.

Well the moaning about her work cases is what's getting on ma tits

Asking you to clean the bathroom ahead of somebody visiting, staggering in at 1:30, and then spewing heavily tomato-based red curry sauce all over the shiny bath, up three of the scrubbed bathroom walls and all across the mopped floor, leaving you cleaning it up at 3am (to avoid it staining the whites overnight).

Without exaggeration, you'd have thought that Vincent Vega had shot Marv' in there.

Many years ago, my wife and I were staying at her mum's house. We went out at night, I got utterly blootered, came home and puked all over the bathroom. Mostly in the bath. 

I started cleaning it up when my mother-in law came in. I told her that it was the wife that did it, and she believed me.

Mmmmm......Mrs. Hedgecutter sounds like a catch...........
