DH has a terrible memory. Partly this is as a result of me enabling him ( I admit to being a total control freak), partly laziness, but actually he also does truly seem to have some real memory issues ( he does worry about it sometimes from a medical POV).
Since I've gone back to work FT, DH has had a lot more family responsibility. He drops DCs off at school, picks up once or twice per week, - homework supervision, DCs hobbies, cooking, packed lunches etc are now shared c50/50, all of which is a HUGE change to this time last year.
A month or two ago DH was late picking the DCs up. He just didn't leave enough time from leaving work, and seemed to think it wasn't a massive problem. I tried to explain it wasn't fair on the DCs or the school, but he was pretty adamant it was just 'one of those things'. This drove me mad!
He's been better since but yesterday he totally forgot to pick the kids up cos he was tied up with work, finally remembered, and got to the school almost half an hour late. I nearly had an apoplexy when I found out. He was very 'shruggy' and 'its no biggy the teacher was fine' and got very defensive when I got cross. He then claimed that 'you know my memory is crap'.
How would you react to this? I feel so furious, and even more cross with the whole 'I'm so forgetful !' stance. Do I need to chill and accept that these things happen, or shall I not rest until DH swears it will never happen again. I feel like I've lost confidence iyswim.

To think forgetting certain things is not OK.
