Or do both?

Today has just been one of those awful awful days but need to know if i'm BU! Apologies in advance for a v long post, just need to vent.

It started off with DH calling at 9am to ask if i could drop him off to a meeting at 9.30, becasue i had a gym session at 9.45 and meeting was just around the corner from the gym, he then didnt get home til 9.45 so i missed my session! But he made his meeting as he called and let them know he was late, didnt call me so i could cancel my session!

Then this evening he got home just as dinner was winding up and he wanted to catch up on their day, understandable, but instead of helping with their regular routine they started playing etc, which meant that bathtime was really late. So i popped both girls in the shower together (to save time)and he stood in the middle of the shower cublice to make sure they wouldnt fall. Very nice, i know but i was running around him trying to soap kids and make sure no one slipped and as a result smacked my head really hard on the wall. Now i have a huge bruise!

I finally got the kids dressed and organsied for bed and i had to give dd2 her antihistamine and as i left for a second, to put the meds away dd2 was on the bed with DH and she was running around and fell off the bed. She now has a massive bruise on her head! Instead of handing sobbing dd2 to me, he held onto her even though she was screaming and reaching for me.
In the end dd2 threw up (all over me)from crying so hard. I had to get the ice for her head,calm her down, tuck dd1 into bed (DH had to get organsied for another meeting) We now both have massive bruised heads, DH has gone out for his meeting but i now have a splitting headache, and a whole load of smelly clothes to sort out.

I know he means well, and i know he was only trying to help. But i just want him to stop trying to help his way. Oh i forgot to mention i have a horrible cold and feel really crappy. He did apologise but in a really arsey way

So AIBU??

Sorry to hear you've had a bad day.

Did I read that right though, that your children are in bed already? Shock
Are you in a different time zone?

Ah, it's only 5.50pm here! Grin

Sounds like a bad day all round. I don't think there's any question of being reasonable or unreasonable, this was just one of those days you forget about and move on. Don't dwell on any part of it!

Sorry - lost interest when you missed you gym session.

LessNarkyPuffin · 10/02/2011 18:38

She hit her head and threw up? Definitely from working herself up?

I'm sorry you've had such a bad day, for most of it, I would say forget it, tomorrow's another day & all that jazz, but holding on to DD2 & not handing her over is not acceptable, besides being a waste of time, at this point I would have told him where to get off. YANBU to be pissed off, I would be too. Order an expensive bottle of wine with his credit card & guzzle it Wink

An arsey apology is not a proper apology. Better make that two bottles & some chocs.
