To start to worry?

[SingleAgainThen]

My “DH” & I agreed to split up a little over a week ago, it’s been a weird week with me sleeping on the couch & not much being said between us.

He has taken his older daughter (my DSD) & our little one - 5 yr old DD out for the day today.

They’re still not home, have no idea where they went or when they’ll be home.

It’s already way past little one’s bed time. Sitting here going from furious to worried with every passing second.

We had a big row re money last night & I stayed at a friend’s last night so haven’t seen him since.

My DD has school in the morning - where the fuck is he?!

Have you tried ringing or texting? Could you try his family if he doesn't reply? I understand why you're worried.

Have you called him?

Did you arrange a time they’d be back?

Have you tried phoning his mobile?

Did you see them in the morning? Was the day out planned?

He has probably taken them out and the time run away with him due to clocks going forward.

Yes, the day out was planned, didn’t want to chase him & be accused of hassling him. Am going to text now. Little one is normally in be by 7 at the latest.

I'd ring. As it's past her bedtime it's not unreasonable for you to call and find out when they'll be back. Hope they are home soon

I'd definitely ring!

A text would be sensible, I think

I can't believe you made a thread here before just sending him a text message?

Text him

@LimonViola op has said why she didn't want to contact him. Rtft.

Is he likely to be with one of his family?

Ring him, hope they're home soon

I’ve text him, no response yet. I don’t want to get into another blazing row especially with the kids with him. I told my DS (11) about the split today & he said - yeah, you were both always shouting at each other, I heard you from my bedroom.

I don’t want to cause drama - which he seems to love, but I’m furious now.

Hope they turn up soon x

Maybe his car clock is still set to yesterday's time? Hope he is home soon OP and I can totally see why you are worried. Try to keep calm though as the kids won't like to see you upset when they come home.

Did you not say ‘what kind of time will you be back?’ When he collected them?

Oh gosh. Hope they are home
Soon!

I’m not really on speaking terms with his family at the moment- another long story but surely this is taking the piss?!

Doesn’t bode well for letting have her when he moves out, trust was already an issue, looks like that’s going to be an ongoing thing!

You don't need to cause a drama. Just call him and ask when they'll be home
As you're thinking about school tomorrow! Doesn't have to be a row!

Remember that with the clocks going forward this morning, we're only REALLY getting to her bedtime now.

Clocks changing may mean he’s not necessarily noticed the time as it’s much lighter than normal too.

Yes I agree, don't be furious, they are with their father and clocks have gone forward. If he like drama that might be just what he's after so that you look like bad cop spoiling their fun. Just ask when they'll be home so you can organise bed time etc and stay cool!

I was going to remind you of the clocks changing too!

Hope he's back soon. Guess your Easter hols haven't started yet?
