Today is DPs birthday. Woke at crack of dawn with eldest to make him breakfast in bed and all 4 kids piled in at 7am singing happy birthday armed with cards and gifts. So far, so good.
A very nice morning to be fair (compared to our usual hectic routine) DP left house at 8.30am to do school run (it takes 45 mins and he is back at home for 09.15am usually, and I normally leave to start work at 09.30am.)
But this morning, he comes back at 9.40am in a pretty bad mood. I'm late for work, but don't stress as I know that there would've been a good reason.
Dropping dd off at preschool, he was blocked in by a HGV delivering to the childrens centre for 22 minutes, making dss1 and dss2 late for school. Then he had to drop dss3 at his preschool and I was obviously late for work.
He comes in, understandably miffed, hands me the keys while explaining the situation and the firts and only thing he is bothered about is what ExW will think.
Not kids late for school, not I am late for work but oh dear ExW will be mad at me.
To be honest I don't think her being mad should be the top of his priorities, and even so why mention it to me? So I told him, I couldn't care less what she thinks, you should be more bothered that the kids get marked down for lateness (clean sheet up til now)
I know I'm being petty, but I was kind of hurt by his flippant remark/thought process, as if she was still the first thing on his mind and he had to please her.
Reading this back, it's a total non-issue and I should get a grip.
