To think he should have helped me out?

My Cm booked a day off today, ages ago, so I took a days annual leave.

We had a big restructure at work this week and lots going on. I asked if they rather I came in, and the consensus was that yes, if I could that would be great but that it wasn't expected.

I've only been there a couple of months and was promoted fairly quickly, I am really trying to prove myself there and make myself indispensable, sort of thing. I have lots of stuff to do today and had to leave copious notes for my team.

Anyway, I asked around and my mum was going out early but she said that my dad would be around. I asked him if he could have ds2 until lunchtime and he said no, he was going out. Fair enough, no real harm done, work are fine with me having the day off, it just means that I haven't gone the extra mile.

So, day off, I popped round to see my dad this morning, he kept making noises about going out but made no move to (nothing to do with me being there, we are in and out of each others houses and he would have just gone if he needed to). We stayed a couple of hours, came home, all fine.

He's just posted on FB that he's just leaving now. It's half one! I would have picked ds 2 up from him an hour ago!

Now, I know it's completely up to him to say no, but I feel a bit upset and let down. For context, he had my nieces last week while they were ill so my sister could go to work.

Aibu? Come and slap me if so, or say comforting words to soothe my distress. Or something.

Just looking at OP again-perhaps your Dad was concerned you might be late & he wouldn't be able to go out at all?

Hope next week gets better, then.

It's just my Dad can be a bit-can't do X because I'm doing Y.

And I'm sure just about any other person-maybe now apart from your DadGrin would find both things doable iyswim.

Well my Dad is in his 80s & has been on his own a few years now & has become increasingly "set in his ways".

What's your husband's excuse??Grin

Why should he?
