To be pissed off with DH

Pregnancy may be clouding my judgement but I don't think so.

I'm pregnant and ill (bad cold and cough that DS has been off nursery with for almost a week). I can't take anything for it as I'm pregnant so feel pretty shit and struggling to sleep too.

We are currently renovating the house and needed to paint this evening. I told DH that I couldn't as the cold + fumes are making me dizzy. He said fine, let's have a night off so I had a bath and DH stayed out for a drink after work.

DH said he'd be home by 10. He's also not supposed to be drinking currently (his choice, to support me). I said on the phone, 10 is fine but no later as we need to talk about the bathroom quote before you rip it out tomorrow. He said fine, no later than 10. I told him I would not have the conversation at 11pm (I make terrible decisions late at night and I'm exhausted) and I'm taking DS out tomorrow so he can rip the bathroom out so can't do it tomorrow.

He's not home. He's just text to say he's missed the train (should have been on the one before it at the latest anyway) and the next one is 10.45.

It's a bloody important conversation we need to have. It involves bank accounts and spreadsheets. So either I need to cancel tomorrow's plans and try and entertain DS whilst we have it or we don't rip the bathroom out tomorrow m, which wastes money on a skip and friends we've roped in to help.

AIBU to be a bit pissed off he can't keep an eye on the clock and stick to an agreement?

If the op was that ill she would have been in bed not waiting up to produce speadsheets at 10pm. I'm sorry till but not everyone on mn are men haters who put the blame instantly on men. The op sound bloody controlling micromanaging, but I'm sure the fact that she's pregnant will be rolled out as an excuse. The whole thing just sounds like an unorganized mess. Who on earth plans to rip out a bathroom without having any plans to have it replaced. It's bonkers.

You're right zero, why would her DH be so disorganised?

I've never been called a man hater before. That's hilarious Grin Grin Grin (rushes off to show DH of nearly 30 years)

It sounds a bit ott to me, I'd have given up and just gone to bed.
We've had 2 single extensions and lot of house renovations with 2dcs without the need for spreadsheets at 10pm.. and I'm an accountant!

TBH I can't see how anyone got themselves into such a quandary with quotes coming in at the last minute when skips are booked and bathrooms being ripped out and no idea how much the work is going to cost. Having said that, the husband was on the piss last night and lying about missing trains. That's what would worry me.
