DH/Christmas

Somehow, whenever there's a family holiday something urgent comes up at work which orevents DH being at home. Being Christmas there's lots to do. For example today I need to supervise DD doing GCSE revision (not easy) other DD has a friend staying. Also need to pick up a broken hoover from one direction and most of the Christmas meal stuff from another, without a car. DH is supposed to be on holiday but announced as soon as I got up that he wouldn't be at home today. When I protested he shouted at me that I had nothing to do. AIBU ?

Should also add that he hasn't really been at home for a week now as he went abroad by himself to visit his family for 4 days. Of COURSE it's horrible that he has to work when he should be on holiday. I'd just like him to acknowledge that it impacts on the whole family if he has to work.

Surely a child old enough to be doing gcses shouldn't take that much supervising?

If he has to work he has to work! Can he not do any of the picking up on his way home/lunch time?

Why do you need to supervise a teenager doing revision?

Is it really work? Or something more?? Sorry, I would not believe him.

Maybe supervising revision is the wrong word. But I do think it's a good idea for someone to try to be at home while she's revising to check she's not on FB and feed her now and then.

I do think he is at work. I don't mistrust him. Just would like him to briefly acknowledge that if he is at work unexpectedly then it impacts on us. Could also do without being shouted at.

Sack the hoover...you don't have to hoover....the teen can help herself...as for her feeding, tell her to help herself! Your DH sounds very selfish...
