Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

Husbands who do not value the unpaid hours that go into raising children and running a household. Mine treats me like a second-class citizen/maid even though I now work casually when I can.
He had the cheek to tell me this week that I watched too much television, this from someone who has been out 5 nights this week - three to train for sport, one for dinner with friends (I stayed home and cooked tea for the kids and myself and cleaned the house after working all day) and once to attend a sporting event. As I write this he is actually out this afternoon playing cricket.. I have done three loads of washing and hung out the five loads that I could not hang out because I was at work/ it was too wet over the last two days. I also cooked lunch for him while he spent the morning on his computer/watching TV in his dressing gown.

End of rant - thank you for giving me the opportunity to vent.... I am ticked off. It was actually my birthday when he made the comment about my TV viewing. He did give me a present but also had a new TV delivered for his personal use. His new TV cost more than my present!!
