I recently went to see my parents with my newborn. It was just for the long weekend so my husband stayed home with our three older children. 7/5/3.
My husband called me when I was out of town to let me know his brother needed a place to crash. I said that he should give him a ride to a shelter or something because it was a bad idea to let his brother in our home. He has stolen from us before.
When I got home there were five very itchy people in the house. I immediately got back in my car and went to my parents house. My husband was calling me the whole time because he needed help dealing with the lice. I didn’t call him back until the baby was settled back in at my folk’s place.
I told him the pharmacy had the shampoo and comb for lice. He said he needed me to come home and take care of it. I noped. I said that he let his brother in our home against my wishes. His brother gave them all lice. I also reminded him that when our oldest got lice from kindergarten he didn’t help me at all.
I hate lice. They freak me out. I dealt with it because I had to. This time it’s on him. He said that he would have to use up his sick days to take care of this. I said tough shit.
He did it. He took his brother to a shelter, he deloused himself and the kids, and then he spent three days cleaning all the bedding and the furniture. He called me every day begging for help. I did not come home until his mothe confirmed that everything was done.
He is pissed that I stuck him with all that by himself. I know I should have helped but it was too much. I’m still not 100% from the baby. It was just too much.
