Hi,

Sorry first time posting here... need some clarification.

Am i being unreasonable in this instance? MY OH has a son from a previous relationship. We pick him up on a Saturday and take him home Sunday every evening.

The last three weeks i have picked him up on the Saturday looked after him while OH is at some sporting event or work or something else he has to do. This usually involves me looking after him from 11am onwards right up to about 7pm when its usually bed time.

He's just text to say he's going to a sport event sat and what time am i picking Stepson up?

AIBU to think that the weekends is his time to be spending with his son and not for me to be looking after him?... He won't take his son with him to said sport thing because he thinks he wont enjoy it (he's 3 and 1/2)

He's thrown a complete eppy as i've said i wont be picking him up because of the above....

AIBU???

No, I don't think YABU at all. This is his time to spend with his son and he should make the most of it. The odd weekend at a sporting event is okay, but 3 weeks on the trot is taking the biscuit.

By the way, you will be flamed for saying 'eppy' - just forewarning you!

YANBU, but the OP would have been better without the 'eppy'
He should be spending the time with his son.

YANBU, as a one off instance i would think you are BU but I think he is being awful for not seeing his son at the weekends, i'm sure his son would enjoy going along to said events just to spend time with his daddy. your OH needs to sort out his priorities.

eppy? Hmm

BOOareHaunting · 27/10/2011 13:50

I don't know what an 'eppy' is Confused

YANBU though.

thousandDenier · 27/10/2011 13:55

To get very upset indeed and usually freak out at someone. A violent outburst.

Derogative term derived from "epileptic fit".

e.g. "When he saw them together he had a fuckin eppy"

nice, huh?
