Just want to moan - see how much of this you recognise.
Today DH was off work (out of work/PT actor) and had the day at home. I went to work and DS went to nursery. Today work was especially busy as I wasn't in yesterday (am currently the only HV in our area due to staff sickness - and I am only part time) so had a lot of phone calls/messages to return and visits to make. At 3.30pm it became apparent that I would not make it to pick up DS from nursery at 4.30 which is my usual finishing time so I phoned DH and asked him to do the honours. He whinged and moaned about having to pick up DS citing that he has to work tonight - (a charity do 200 yards up the road). Eventually - with very bad grace he said he'd meet me to collect the car seat and go on to pick up DS. He arrived 30 mins after he said he'd be there - told me that I really MUST be home by 5.30 so he could "prepare". I worked my butt off finishing off the stuff I had to do and belted home at 5.40 - so was actually 10 mins late. DH was - as I expected - at the PC playing his fecking stupid football game. Having told me that it was imperitive I rush through the workload I had in order to get home for 5.30 I was interested to note that at 6.15 he was still playing the bloody football game. It goes without saying that he has done nothing in the way of housework today - so I am guessing it was "football" all day. Am on the point of "damaging" the bloody disc.
Honestly - he works on a self -employed basis. My salary pays all the bills and rent. Yet he expects me to just drop everything when it suits him and his work. Am sooo pissed off with him that I couldn't trust myself to speak when he went out this evening - just knew I'd end up being hateful if I did. So here I am on MN - festering away and seething with annoyance.
No disrespect to the Dads on here but honestly - do some men ever have a fecking clue?
