Why does dh have to be an hour early for his stuff when he's always an hour late for everything else?

[Reality]

Always, always if we are going somewhere dh will have a shower/shave five minutes before the time we have to leave. We are always late. It drives me fucking mental.

Tonight he is going to a gig in Hammersmith. A gig I would have loved to go to but backed out of due to childcare issues.

He has just phoned me to announce that he is leaving at 4.30 to get to Victoria for 5.45.

The doors open at 7 but the gig won't start until at least 8. He reckons he needs to get something to eat first. I'm not sure why he can't eat here and get a 6pm train?

I may be a bit irrationally grumpy about this but there you go.

Aibu?

Oh I missed out the bit where I am puking ill, so wouldn't have been going anyway.

And not looking forward to doing tea, let alone bedtime, for three children.

Oh yes, my DH is the same. Really relaxed when I need to be somewhere, but hours ahead of himself when it's something he needs to do.

Sounds like he wants some time to himself which is reasonable if you get the same amount of time to yourself. If not he's being a dick.

nah he is being a selfish git tell him he needs to feed himself and the children at home first as you might be puking to much to do it

Mine Dh is the same

OTOH - so am I. fun times!

fwiw my dh can be the same he had us out 2 hours before hewanted to go we were meant to be somewhere at the weekend as he didnt want to be stuck in traffic we ended up in a supermarket twiddling our thumbs drinking coffee cos we were so early, if it was me he would faff about and we would be rushing out the doorARSE

I know I'm being a whiny brat btw, I'm not going to say anything to him.

I get more time out than him, really, he's a star generally. I'm just all waaah.

Pizza is a top idea though, the kids'll love that.

it is fine to be whiny and bratty you are not well can't go to your concert and his lordship is swanning out at 4.30 I would be whinging too

His lordship was meant to be tongue in cheek i meant to add a

I got that!

I threw up again and had a bath, and felt WAY better. So I did loads of cleaning, cooked tea, waved him off with a cheery smile and I'm just about to put the chums to bed.

Now, where's my feckin' medal?
