To be pissed of that dh's version of mid-afternoon differs to mine?

by some distance

He's a teacher, and has today gone to the ASE conference in Reading (1.5 hours from us). He left before the boys woke up, and said he'd be home mid afternoon.

20 minutes ago he rang, happy and bouncy as you like, and said he was just leaving

To me, mid afternoon is around 3.30. Not 5, which is the earliest he'll be home.

He sees the boys for an hour a night tops btw, and never in the mornings because he leaves before they get up.

I did not rant or shout. I was somewhat frosty I have to admit, not least because I'd asked him to buy some ingredients for our tea (we normally eat around 5.30), and now I can't even start making that until he's home.

Gah. Thoughtless fuckwit. Still, as long as he had a nice day eh?

He's done it again today. Same conference, same lame 'mid-afternoon' quote for return time. Same lack of contact.

I was expecting it this time though! Had a lovely pyjama day with the dc (we're all under the weather or we'd have gone out without him!), played games, Wii, watched movies.
If I haven't heard from him by 5:30 I'm calling the takeaway.

Bugger. Not only is he home he's making the tea. And I was all set to BU too.
