I've been seriously ill with flu recently and have been in bed for the last 2 days
Yesterday DC were in school all morning and my Mum had the afternoon off and took them to her house for me, I slept all day
DP is supposed to be home at 5:45, he said he had to work late yesterday he'd be home closer to 6:30 but my Mum had to bring DC home for 6 so I dragged my sorry arse out of bed and relocated to the couch, kept telling myself it was only half an hour
DP rocks up at 7pm! I was already annoyed, poor kids had been pretty much ignored for an hour and he swans in with...a bar of chocolate and a bottle of radox Hmm I've got flu I'm not on my fucking period! I don't want this shit I just want to sleep!!
AIBU to be thoroughly fucked off that I was dying on the couch with no-one to watch DC and he was swanning round Tesco buying me stuff I didn't want?! He thinks I'm 'ungrateful' Hmm

I'm not angry? You keep saying I am angry but I am not sure where you got that from?

Just because someone thinks you are wrong, doesn't make them angry, just means they think you are wrong.

Myself and OP have had some banter on here if you read back, she isn't taking it personally, so I am not sure why you are.

Relax, it's not your life.

Or is it?...

If you can type of a computer then not seriously ill and not currently got flu (may have recovered)

SaucyJack I am not on my own, and you are reading something in my posts that isn't there!

When you become a parent, you have to get on with it, whether you have a partner at work, or don't have one at all.

So why doesn't that apply to him?

Why was it fine for him to go swanning off to the supermarket when he was supposed to be looking after his children?

How would this be if it was the other way round? If it was DP who was on the sofa with flu and OP went and bought him stuff she thought would cheer him up? Would you call her a selfish, thoughtless, inconsiderate cunt?

Oh is this still happening?
Simbacat - I was on my phone not a computer so it didn't require that much effort, but as I said quite a few times I was feeling much better at the time I posted
