To expect DH to be home soon

[notnow2]

I have to leave for work at 6am. He will be looking after our dc (7,5,3) all day until 9pm. He has gone out after work as it is his last day there. I warned him I was working. He is terrible for not waking up after a drink. I am worried I will not be able to go to work if he is much later

Yes, because I was speaking to Writer. I hadn't counted how many "male" posters there were on the thread, I saw it last night when Martin was being an arse and thought I'd posted, but perhaps not? My comment was a general one about how trolls like to wind people up on threads like this just for the sport of it. Martin knows perfectly well that op's dh was an utter arse. He's just here for the laffs.

I think Martin has buggered off elsewhere, thankfully.

Cheers!

Ok Minty.

I wasn't kicking off or owt.

I will picture you with both pipe and fishnets from now on Random

''I tend to 'read posts from a male perspective' by nodding sagely while sucking on a pipe.''

What, like Graham Chapman Arsenic?

Exactly like that

Martin, on the other hand, is clearly too sensible to smoke a pipe, so I shall be picturing him in fishnets and a tutu from now on, delivering his messages from a lecturn.

"I wonder how they'd feel if the night before they had to go to work their DW went out on the piss all night knowing full well she was looking after the children the next day. And if that wasn't bad enough, how would they feel if they were supposed to leave for work at 7am, which their DW knew, but she still wasn't even home at that time and hadn't made any effort to contact home.

I'm sure if the guy had to phone in sick to work because of his DW's actions they wouldn't be quite so nonchalant about it."

Exactly.

I doubt Martin has legs as shapely as Random's somehow.

Martin, may I politely suggest that you check your posts before posting. It does somewhat spoil your otherwise 'delightful' posts.

Its 'thoughtless' rather than 'unthoughtful' Hope that helps.

Cheers

With any luck Martin has been banned.

We can only work with the information we have to hand. IE the information the OP has given. The OP's parter was in the wrong, but crucially (and here's the key point that some of you are seemingly failing to comprehend) this was an isolated incident. .

Again, as far as we know, the bloke isn't a piss artist. There wasn't a masochistic pre intent on trying to "sabotage" his wife's career or any other codswallop i've read from the small pitchfork brigade.

People get drunk, people make mistakes. Live is to short to get hung up on this stuff.

Cheers, and HAGO!

ilovesooty: thanks for your concern, but no. Now relax, take a deep breath, and have a fab evening!

Cheers!

Please please tell me wtf is with the "cheers" I am weeping with laughter at the sheer ludicrousness of it as a suffix...

CHEERS!

It is so inappropriate! It's like saying: "Sorry your dog died/you got mugged/broke your best China etc" then yelling "Cheers!"
