Right I will try not to bombard you with info but will try and avoid drip feeding either. OH works away for 4 weeks and is then home for 2, this break he has been awful. I always allow for grumpy/tired behaviour the first few days back, his job is very demanding- but it is much worse than usual and is going on and on- he had a weeks leave this time so has been home for over 2 weeks now and still sleeps till gone lunch every day, doesn't help with the boys and is horrible to our eldest in particular.
I was really optimistic on Monday, finally got a meeting with CAHMS for our eldest and OH actually came along, left the meeting feeling positive and hopeful that OH had better understanding of DS1 and how tricky home life is- well this weekend he has decided that DS1 is being terrible (he's not being perfect but not a monster either) and has therefore put some consequences in place- the problem being he didn't give any warnings or tell DS1 at all, just did things like take the batteries out of his toys and delete minecraft of the computer- it totally goes against the routine and rules with have in this house and just make the situation much worse.
To cap it all off I asked him if we could chat about it later and his response was 'no, don't want to chat' I said okay whens good for you 'ideally not chatting to you again would be good'- sorry for such a rant

SpanishFly- not at all, you haven't come across as smug once.

BiscuitMillionaire- she hasn't died but has had to go into a home due to having advanced dementia, she's only in her 60's so it has been very hard for OH to cope with.

Grrr, such an up and down weekend, you get a few hours when he seems to know how to be pleasant and help out and then he is back to be rude and grumpy.

I think I might have preferred it when he was just grumpy, at least I knew what to expect!

He has been pretty good with the boys all weekend and it was lovely watching him teach DS1 to tie his shoelaces but he doesn't seem to be able to manage a whole weekend like most normal parents.
