Dh sulking after being away

Men can be really pathetic.

My partner got a bee up his arse once because he was an hour late home from work and I didn’t quiz him on his whereabouts or frantically text him asking where he was.

He came home and made a big deal that I didn’t care about him.

I assumed he was busy at work and had to work late. Eventually I found out (days later - because he wouldn’t tell me before then) that he was busy at work and had to work late.🙄

⬆️ this.

Are you sure you only have 2 kids OP? Methinks you have 3. What a twat.

And shouting at your eldest. Of course they’re not going to welcome him home with open arms if he treats them like this. Maybe he should go away more often. Maybe permanently.

I think the shouting and and screaming might be why everyone didn’t miss him when he was away.

And mine...

My grandmother would have said "Oh dear I forgot to wind up the gramophone for the fanfare"

But no one today would know what a gramophone was.

Next time please ensure he's greeted with a balloon arch, fireworks and a 'daddy's home' tiara to wear.

What a fkn twat!

When my husband used to go away, the kids would shout 'dadeeeeee' when he reappeared, lots of hugs, but then he always brought presents! Your husband, I think you know what's wrong with your husband.

I'm thinking that all the family lawyers are trying to drum up business.

I'm not excusing his behaviour, he behaved like a total dick, but as usual posters are calling for "ducks in a row" after one small snapshot of a shitty family afternoon.

I would explain to my DH that while he was away I'd been looking after everything and working too. I'd tell him of course we were pleased to have him home (the silly fool) but it was really out of order to make his family feel so bad and I'd be extremely pissed off if he behaved like that again.

I'd then let it blow over, but if he continued to act like that I would then start thinking about the state of the relationship.

Nothing wrong with my "bar".

Btw, normally the introduction of the "screaming" after the first post would be classed as a drip feed.

Well hello, OP’s husband!

This.

He sounds like a prick. You don't have two children, you have three. Awful

My brain just can't compute this, I think I would have responded something like "oh how awful, I'll be home to close it for your shortly" then just switch my phone to airplane mode. It's weaponised incompetence.

Wtf has family law got to do with not putting up with an arsehole?

He has spent all evening sulking and shouted badly at his child because he is feeling hard done to. That is not something the OP or her kids should put up with.

If you think it is then if you are a woman, raise your bar. If you are man, fuck off.

When I was working, when travelling for work I’d get calls telling me that DS had left the freezer door open.. and what to doooo….

trying to find the words to say what did you want me to do about it/why are you phoning me about this etc without coming across rude in the middle of an airport… I just said ok, I’ve got to go through security… 🤣

Oh, here we go..

Is everyone in here in family law or something?

Have to admit, this did cross my mind.

Oh the mighty hunter getting a cob on because it turns out that while he was away killing a mammoth, no one noticed because his wife killed a mammoth, fed the kids and kept the cave clean.

Pathetic.

Raise your bar @MissDaisy1982

Shouting and screaming at nine year isn’t showing dissatisfaction, it’s being an absolute twat.

I’d tell him it seems like his travelling with work is incompatible with being married, since he expects you to not only hold the fort but also drop your work you’ve been juggling with the kids while he’s away to welcome him and get the kids to throw him a welcome home. so he will have to choose no work travel if he can’t choose not to be an ungrateful selfish twat.

How were the children even ment to now he arrived? He should have gone upstairs to meet them surely?

So he was shouting and screaming at his child because he didn’t come downstairs?

Wow.. he’s an absolute arsehole.

I hope he’s apologised @Overitagain88 Is he usually such a shit human?

Tell him to join the military and get deployed overseas for months.

Then he can get a “welcome home” party.

The same thought went through my mind too.

I spend too much time on mumsnet, I'm wondering what he was up when he was away and why is he trying to pick a fight...guilty conscience?

Like I said ..I spend too much time on mumsnet.
