To think I am just a leetle bit too old to be told off by my mummy?

[D0oinMeCleanin]

I drank too much last night and didn't go to bed. I'd already made arrangements for the kids for today. I don't drink nightly and I don't do this often, when I do it's always when I've pre-arranged for the children to go out with somone the next day.

It's my 'time off'. I don't go out much. I don't get a break much. I do houseworky stuff during the day and work on a night, so once a month or so I think "fuck it" and spend the night drinking and watching shit horror films. Just because I can.

DH got upset and has rung my mum to 'tell of me'

I am almost 30 years old. What did he think dhe was going to do, ground me?

Oooh that's an idea. She ground me and confine me to my room for a week. No school runs, no cleaning, no cooking. Just sleep. I might ring her back and ask her to ground me

He would drive me batshit crazy tbh. If he has leisure time, when you take sole responsibility of the dc, then he has no business bitching because you expect the same.

Ringing up your mum ffs.

I know it is against the rules to hark back to other threads, but what happened wrt your dd's school coat and his complaints to the school?

Sounds like this is something you need to do more often, tbh. Mums are mums and do it because they care. Husband? WTAF!!!!!!!!!!

He didn't turn up when the lady from the school came. He claims I deliberately told him the wrong time, despite the fact that we was sat right next to her when she booked the appointment, so he had no-one to complain to.

The coat only cost £2 in the end, it wasn't as difficult as the lady thought it would be. Dd1 has worn her hoody a few times now the weather has been brighter.

D0oin... didn't you have a definite plan to definitely ditch this useless control freak about three months ago? How's it coming along?

So your DH disapproves of your behaviour but thinks you will ignore him but take notice of your mother.

This is surely a problematic dynamic in your relationship? Why does your dh think you will not take notice of his feelings about your behaviour?

RuleBritannia Not taking money for the parking/petrol/coffee when we went to visit my dad in hospital today.

Apparently I'm stubborn, just like my dad

I also got told off for swearing at someone when I was driving

I have no clue EFA. Maybe because I generally don't listen to him owing to having gotten that used to the sound of his whining and dissaproval I can now block it out completely

I don't listen to my mum either, so I am not entirely sure what he thought he would achieve.

Glad it didn't cost too much to fix, in the end. And that he didn't show you up in front of the school.
