What age is ds? Why does school start at 12.15?

ballstoit · 15/04/2013 12:35

YABU to be 'raging' when you have no idea what's happened to make them late.

Presume if DS is only part time school he is under compulsory school age, so a one off day off is hardly the end of the world. He'll probably have learned as much in a morning of one to one time with his Dad, watching a mechanic, as he would in an afternoon at school anyway.

Why would dh delibelately have your son miss nursery? School? Id be more worried than annoyed TBH

YoniLovesChachi · 15/04/2013 12:36

Something's obviously happened that has prevented them getting back as they planned. Your husband wouldn't deliberately do something to prevent your son getting to school. Calm down.

Branleuse · 15/04/2013 12:38

its not compulsory, calm down.

his dads as entitled to spend a bit of time with his son as you are

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 15/04/2013 12:39

If battery is low then phone either died or he turned it off to save power, perhaps he took him on way back home.

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 15/04/2013 12:40

Why don't you trust him to either have taken him or have a good reason that be didn't and isn't back get?

YANBU - he's caused you son to miss the time he's meant to be in school!

So where are they?

livinginwonderland · 15/04/2013 12:44

wow, calm down. i would be more worried than angry!

manicinsomniac · 15/04/2013 12:46

I'd be more panicky that angry tbh ...

YoniLovesChachi · 15/04/2013 12:46

"he's caused you son to miss the time he's meant to be in school!"

How do you know that, LilyAmaryllis?

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 15/04/2013 12:48

Why don't you phone the garage or the s hook find out if they r still there or whether your dh called the school to let them know?

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 15/04/2013 12:48

School

WhereIsMySon · 15/04/2013 12:52

I have called garage and the car is still being looked at and dh/ds are still there.

Any news OP? Hope they are ok.

YoniLovesChachi · 15/04/2013 12:53

OK, so now you can relax safe in the knowledge that they're fine.

Fragglewump · 15/04/2013 12:55

I think that I would be bored stiff if I had waited for a car to be mended for hours with a small child and to have a hysterical partner would not help! It doesn't sound like he's being deliberately tricky just that this has taken a long time. Hope they're back soon. I'd have a cuppa and enjoy the peace and quiet if I were you!

SESthebrave · 15/04/2013 12:55

Agreed, relax now - they are fine. I'm sure your DH is probably frustrated too as this wouldn't have been his plan for the day either!

WorraLiberty · 15/04/2013 12:56

I don't really understand this.

Your first thought was to think up a NN, change to that NN and start a thread no Mumsnet.

Your second thought was to ring the garage

Glad they're safe though.

WorraLiberty · 15/04/2013 12:57

*on

YoniMontana · 15/04/2013 12:57

YANBU I would be annoyed but he can't help it. Maybe not a good idea to take him on a school day next time?

Missing an afternoon of nursery really isn't a big deal. Just think of it as DH homeschooling him for a day.

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 15/04/2013 12:59

Right, so now call school let them know your ds won't be in and enjoy the peace. No way would hours in a garage be anything less than frustrating and stress full given that there's more wrong than first thought or it wouldn't be taking so long.

Least they r both safe.
