That's all really. DH currently on his mate's stag do in a foreign country. Left Friday morning and not back yet. I haven't heard from him once in 3 days and am a bit hacked off to be honest that he hasn't even texted me to say that he is at the airport on his way home.

I am probably BU about this but I have been looking after our baby DS all week and all weekend and feel a bit unloved! Am I expecting too much?!

If there's ever a time you're likely not to hear from your DP it'll be during a stag weekend.

My dh probably wouldn't have called me either but it would piss me off too. However I would take deep breaths and leave him to it. It's a once in a blue moon trip and his head's elsewhere (I don't mean where Tiggy said!!!!). It doesn't mean he doesn't care about you or the baby.

Thanks all. Well he did turn up in the end - in one piece, a few excuses about his phone not working abroad (this may have been true). So it wasn't lost down a prostitute's cleavage after all Smile

He did ring from the airport to suggest that I come and pick him up, which given a) there is a train service which runs to within a 10 minute walk of our house and b) I was about to put DS to bed got pretty short shrift.

He's now sleeping it off!

With respect to the what's-the-baby-got-to-do-with-it comment, before I had DS, I wouldn't have minded had DH disappeared for the week, as I could have met up with girlfriends and entertained myself. However, with DS this is quite a lot more difficult simply because he is getting to the age where he needs a decent bedtime routine so needs to be in his cot in the evenings.
