Youngest son's taxi picks him up for school at 7.50 and on a Tuesday and Thursday we go swimming straight after so DH can get to work by 9:30,
Today he can't go swimming as he has to be in work early.
So last night he asked me what time could I get into town, I said around 10am as I don't have to rush to go swimming as he wasn't going, he got a right strop on asking why 10am and I kept explaining that I didn't have to rush, he then said as he was going to run to work he wanted me to drop his clothes off, I tried to explain to him that if he had of said that at the beginning or actually asked me to drop some clothes off to him at 9.30 I would have stuck to swimming at the regular time, he thinks I'm being awkward and being unreasonable, I think if he had of asked outright then I would of understood hid question better.
I refused to get into an arguement with him and I went to bed as he kept going on, he slept on the sofa and has driven into work.

You aren't his PA. He made a request, it wasn't convenient.

He's really out of order and his reaction, to punish you, is really fucked up.

Does he do stuff like this often?

6demandingchildren · 18/12/2018 07:59

We rarely argue, but I'm pissed off with him as he didn't ask me to drop his things off at first he asked me what I was doing.
I assume he has driven into work so he can later accuse me of ruining his running plans.

He IBU if he thinks he can expect you to run around after him everytime he clicks his fingers.
Sleeping on the sofa was a complete overreaction. His attitude os more that of a spoilt teenager.

JollyGiraffe · 18/12/2018 08:04

Overreaction yes, but he's probably resentful that you get a lie in and he doesn't

Does he often create a fight out of thin air?

What does he get out of being able to accuse you of ruining his plans? (Shut you up and emotionally control you / excuse to do something?)

Oh jeez, drama queen!

He’s IBVU! It seems insane to me that he’s annoyed over something you had no idea was in his mind!

He strikes me as the kind who is ‘annoyed because you cheated on him in a dream he had’ 😂🙈

If he wants to run to work it's his responsibility to make his clothes be there.

Asking someone nicely "will you do this for me?" is a way of organising.

Asking them a semi-related question then stropping when their plans don't align with the plans you hadn't even told them about is not.

He's a big baby. Would it matter if he missed a run/swim on one day? Silly man - and stop using 'of' instead of 'have'. Bad habit and your kids might pick it up.

6demandingchildren · 18/12/2018 08:19

I don't get a lie in as I still get up to get youngest ready for school, but as DH isn't going swimming today I thought that I wouldn't have to rush around as much and it's half hour time difference, if he had of asked me to help him out I would of, but instead he asked me what my plans were, anyway I'm not going swimming now I have gone back to bed 😁

Is it necessary to be so bloody condescending?

Lizadork · 18/12/2018 08:42

If he likes running to work occasionally, why not keep two changes of clothes/shoes there? That way there is not the added environmental impact of you having to drive the same route he runs.

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 18/12/2018 08:49

He is absolutely mad to expect you to plan your day around a request he hadn't made!

6demandingchildren · 18/12/2018 19:34

Update:
DH came home at 9am and kissed me and said sorry for taking his stresses out on me, he is now running tonight so I have a few hours to myself.
