I know I’m going to get a bit of an online flaming for this but I’m genuinely wondering how many of us are in the same position.
Our children are four and one (two in may.) And I need a break from them but I never get one because I just don’t like leaving them with DH. I do love him and he loves the children but he just can’t seem to plan ahead for when he has them and it creates work for me.
So some examples are
Not giving DS anything to eat and then when DS was hungry let him eat an entire pack of blueberries and then he had loose poos the next day and was sent home from preschool.
Not offering them drinks - this is a biggie as DS doesn’t drink enough as it is.
If I go out and they are in the house I come back and it honestly looks like it’s been ransacked .
Driving somewhere that’s a fair trek mid to late afternoon so someone falls asleep and is then up till gone ten.
Not changing DDs nappy when it’s wet (only dirty)
I know people will claim it’s weaponised incompetent and it honestly isn’t. Just incompetence. And I know one of the issues is he isn’t used to having them but I frankly CBA with the fallout for when he does!
