On a scale from 1-10 how unreasonable is my husband?

[QuintessentialShadows]

With 1 being not at all unreasonable and 10 being extremely?

I am going away for a week. Leaving tomorrow 6am.
I work part time, he works full time (but can be flexible) and long hours. He often go back to his study and work from 9 pm till midnight after the kids have gone to bed. Usually he finishes work at 6pm, so he has a 3 hour break then.

He just said "I will really catch up on work and get ahead while you are away."

Really?

I said to him "Do you really think that me being out of the house will allow you to get more work done when you have to pick up ds2 from school at 3.15, cook their dinners, clean up, take ds2 for his activities, do all their laundry, ensure their homework is done, that they have what they need in their pe kit bags, swimming bags, etc?"

His reply?

"Sure, I will just work an extra hour in the evening. Will be fine."

He sounds lovely!

Be grateful for what you have Quint! Hope you had a nice break away, and lovely welcome at the airport >wistful

Well maybe he's learned a lesson about all that you do, and will be more appreciative?

Sounds to me like he did ok though as it is difficult to pick up someone else's role perfectly - you've had years to refine what you do.

On a scale of 1 to 10? 3.

Let him have his illusions for now. He'll learn more by experience than by anything you can say.

Ah, I see the week is over. Well, you both learned something. Book your next week away as soon as possible.

I wouldn't be with a partner i thought so little of.

If you can't look after your own children you are a twat.
It's not hard.

It sounds like he did a good job to me!!

I am feeling less grumpy today.

I have discovered he did insane amounts of laundry, and folding, and putting the clothes in place ( in rather odd places, but even so). It was really just bed-linen in the laundry cupboard. He said he did not realize it was there....
