Have also posted this in Lone Parents but just feel so upset that only getting him slagged off in AIBU will do.
Today he was supposed to so something with kids for the afternoon, so I made plans.
He arrives on time but then makes me feel guilty as he is taking them to the fair and dd "just won't enjoy it without you". So I go with them. Then tells me that he needs to be back by a certain time, thus cutting even further into my time. No way to get done what I want to do in the couple of hours he has now given me.
I had a moan and asked him how he would feel if everytime he went out someone said yes fine, but you can only go for two hours - that is the most time I ever get before he has to go and do his plans, to which he responded by telling me I am selfish, have Mental Health issues and if I really hate being with my kids that much I should let him move back in and I can just go and do my own thing. This is because I told him I just want one afternoon a month that is not encroached upon or changed or I am made to feel guilty about. All this twisted into me not loving my kids.
He then used all this to justify storming off in front of dc, making them cry and thereby denying me ANY time at all to myself.
Just a rant really because I just really fu*king hate him, I really do. He just hates me doing anything by myself, he was always like this when we were married too, so controlling.

AIBU?
to think that wanting an afternoon to myself does not equate to "not loving my kids".
