Help me work out if I'm being a grumpy hormonal arse or if I'm right to be pissed.
Every Tuesday DD6 goes to a sports club after school. DH normally picks her up from school and drives her 30 minutes to the club, stays there for the 75 min club then comes back home. I work from home until 5 on a Tuesday and then go to pick up our youngest from Nursery.
After dropping DD home, DH goes to a sports hobby (think running club, crossfit etc. Not a group sport).
Today DH called at around half 1 to say that he was massively caught up at work and he needed me to take DD to her club. I told him this was literally the worst day this could happen as I was already drowning in work and was going to have to work late into the evening even without taking DD to her club to get on track. Sent lots of screaming emojis, then ran to pick DS up from Nursery before school run because the club would end after the Nursery closed for the day.
Grabbed DD from school, entertained DS during the club and raced home.
By the time we got home, DH has left for his club. He won't be home now until around 10.30pm.
AIBU to think he shouldn't have gone to his club tonight?! That he should have packed it in for one night, taken over the childcare duties and let me crack on with my work. That I sacrificed my time/work to help him out (#teamwork) but that I've not received the tiniest bit of help back??
To pre-empt some questions
- I'm not wasting time on mumsnet instead of working, I'm sat in toddlers bedroom while he falls asleep.
- yes in the grand scheme of things DD could have missed her club but it's a group sport, she's getting really good and she's made a commitment to attend.
- I don't have to be logged in at specific times/active etc. Just have to get my work done whenever and however that works, and there's no slacking off because it's a lot of work to get done. So there will be no consequences for taking her to the club for me, just the loss of 3.5 hours of work time.
- he absolutely knows how swamped I am with work today, I made that crystal clear both in text and over the phone that today could not be a worse day for this.
