Yesterday I had to work a 13 hour shift. My kids came home from school at 4pm and I wasn't due home until 8pm.
My boyfriend then, offered to come around to my house after he finished work and sit with them. This was kind of him as we've only been together about 8 months or so but the kids think he's amazing and they always have fun. I thanked him and off to work I go.
Well when I got back there was rice crispies all over the drive way where boyfriend had chased my 11 year old outside with the cereal box and chucked the lot at him. In the hallway a laundry basket had been emptied all over where 11 year old had decided to dump a load of clothes on boyfriend from half way up the stairs. The living room had pizza squashed into the carpet and sofa and the kitchen just looked like a bomb had hit it.
To top it off, boyfriends coat was in the bath after needing rinsing from being tramped into mug outside, 13 year old's drumkit was demolished from the 3 of them playfighting and my bed was broke from where DP had done wrestling moves on the kids.
I made it obvious I wasn't happy about the state of the house but at the same time, I feel torn because he was doing me a favour. I'm so suprised too, he's a safety control supervisor, responsible role, good salary, respected company - he's not some man-child bum. So suprised and irritated at what he did.
