Boyfriend went fishing

Last night my boyfriend went fishing with his brothers at about 6pm he said he'd be back at 7am to get our daughter ready for nursery and he didn't come back. I had to stay in and not go out because we only have one key and he didn't come back. I rang him and he said he'd be back for 12 as he's only just woke up. This was at 9:30 and I had to go out by 10:30. I went out and made sure that I was back in time for 12 when he would be back & he didn't come back!! I rang again and he said he'd be back for 3pm now and he can't be bothered to walk so he is waiting for his brother to leave to give him a lift. It is a 15 minute walk btw. Our daughter had someone coming round to see her as an appointment for 4 and I had to tidy the whole house from top to bottom of his crap that he's not cleaned up then he still doesn't come back and misses the appointment. He still isn't back now and it's 5pm! I wouldn't mind so much but he does nothing, he doesn't work or anything he sits in the house all day on his PS4 and I have to come back everyday after being out and tidy up because he won't. I pay for everything for him and I picked up some food for him and bought him some bits today. Just feel as though he's taking me for a mug!!! So I hid his PS4 and games😂😂 fuming right now😡

ThisAintALoveSong, I did a username search, the only other threads the OP is on are ttc ones. As I said, not the done thing to bring it up but there we go.

How old are you both?

If he didn't make it home when he said, it's his look out if he misses you being in. Do what you usually do, tell him when you need to be out, and BE OUT! It's his responsibility if he gets locked out and has to wait.

No need to do daft stuff like HDR his games. Just let him be the natural victim of his own fecklessness.

Ah thanks EdmundCleverClogs. I thought I was overtired and had to re-read the post about 5 times 😂

I hope OP is giving him grief right now for putting his hobby before his child. The whole set up is just plain bonkers.

OP - having hobbies is fine as long as they don't interfere with reality and family life. If your partner found a job it's unlikely he would be able to pull an all nighter going fishing.

oh dear god, i second what EdmundCleverClogs is saying.
Do you seriously want 3 kids to look after?
You all sound like kids raising lids as it is!

Send him back to his mummy.

Why the hell you with a manchild who comes and goes whenever he wants, doesn't contribute to your household, sits on his arse playing computer games and thinks nothing of leaving you stuck trapped in the house just in case he deigns to reappear?!?!

As the wife of a dedicated fish meff I can say he would 100% definitely not have overslept until midday. The fishing bivvies are paper thin so they can hear their bite alarms go off. This means that when the birds wake up at the arse crack of dawn, so does the fisherman. Looks like he's been out on the lash and is hungover somewhere tbh. I'd be having words, and by words I mean I'd have taken his PlayStation to cash converters and bought myself something nice with the proceeds.
