Went out yesterday with a friend, my DS 12 and her DD age 12. Went out to lunch and then the plan was to go bowling. Bowling alley was fully booked up for 2 hours, so went to a play centre type place instead and spent 2 hours there, I was surprised that both kids wanted to go.
Had a nice catch up with friend who I used to see nearly every day before I met partner, we have been on holiday and had lots and lots of days out in the past. We were both single parents (she still is).
Got home last night and DP (not DS Dad) had the hump and said it was because he expected me home 2 hours earlier. I had text him to tell him that bowling was off and that we were now going to play centre but hadn't spent all afternoon texting him as I think it's rude to my friend. When he goes out with his friends, he never texts me.
When I pointed out how long everything took and that I had actually dragged the kids away and refused a cup of tea at my friends so that I could get home to him, he then changed his mind and said the reason he had the hump was because he wasn't invited. Bearing in mind he normally falls asleep in the other room when I have this friend round for the evening, I didn't think he would be that bothered about coming, but I did run it past him before I confirmed it with friend and he certainly didn't make any noises that he wanted to come with us then.
