We bought a second hand mpv a month ago as expecting dc3 - it needed 2 new tyres and DH didn't want to pay kwik fit prices so was on about getting remoulds (?) I'm not clued up about cars/tyres. He hasn't done anything about it despite me reminding him several times and I have been driving around in the car as we live up the top of a steep hill and am 39 weeks pregnant with ds1 3 and ds2 2. So fast forward to today and I have a mw appointment and park on road outside. When I left I didn't realise front wheel was on kerb so came down heavy on it as pulled away and it blew. Drove a little way but could smell burning and so pulled over and rang DH who couldn't talk
as very busy. It was getting on by this point - 500pm and had to be at nursery to get kids at 6. I have aa cover but wouldn't have got to nursery on time if I waited for them and was in a bit of a panic as we live 2 miles from nursery
and ds2 would not have been able to walk home and would have been a struggle for me enough. Rang DH to ask him to
leave ASAP so we could so he could get train to nursery and meet me and help me walk home with kids (shoulder carry ds2) and then go and look at car. He said no ring x - (his friend) he will help. Tried to ring x but no answer (DH always tells me to ring x if i want anything as he works more locally and has no dp or kids but I think DH takes advantage of x) Anyway I abandon car and walk to nursery crying and suddenly remember my friend lives near nursery and will lend me her buggy so stop on way. Get kids and start walking home when x rings in flap worrying that I am labour - explain situation and he picks me and kids up and takes us home. He then goes to car to look at wheel. (there is no spare just a new fangled electric glue repair kit). He wasn't able to fix it but comes back round to play with kids as they were disappointed at his brief visit. DH still not home - no word from him.
Kids in bed - 815 he rings - leaving work now all ok???? Can hardly speak to him. He gets in at 9 - normal time is 7 saying he has had shit day etc. Talk about car and shout about him not sorting it out - tells me that I should have sorted it too - I sort everything - bills, housework, washing, food and work - I believe the car to be his remit. Ask what will do about abandoned car - someone needs to walk there and wait with it for aa man to tow it to kwik fit to get expensive tyres - no choice for fucking remoulds now. He said it will have to wait until Saturday now. I can't do it by myself as kids not at nursery tomorrow and he won't take couple of hours from work in morning as "too busy". So now we gave no method of transport to hospital if I go into labour tomorrow or tomorrow night. I think he has been an idiot but he doesn't. Can't sleep as so angry. Probably Abu as hormonal though.
