Hello all,
Not posted before but have been lurking a while. I do live apart from dd's Father so this complicates matters somewhat. However, we are in houses 0.2 miles away from each other.
He is off work this week with man flu. I've recently been promoted and have already had 3 days off looking after DD daughter earlier in the year - after assuring them in interview that sick care of daughter was something me and her Father took turns in! We split care 50/50.
I rang him this morning at 7 to let him know she'd had a really bad night, up 4 times, crying and complaining of sore head and tummy. Temp was up, so calpol supplied but she was still awake - in total- for about 2 hours. She's now dead to the world and I'm loathe to wake her. She's 4.
I need to leave at 8am to get to work, she could, theoretically sleep till 830am and get to school on time if she is well enough to attend. Yet if I was to drop her at his, like I usually do she'd have needed to be up at 7. I asked him to come here, to let her sleep in and me get to work. He basically said no, he hadn't had a shower etc etc. This was at 7 and I don't need to leave till 8. FGS. So I've rang work, told them I'll be late in this morning, vague as to why. Very naughty but the guilt of knowing if me and her Father were together she'd be able to sleep this horrible night off means I find it impossible to do anything else.
AIBU to have expected him to come round at 8 and look after DD here? After all he'd have been looking after her from 8 at his normally?
