It’s been half term. I work term time only, or have done since October so still relatively new setup for us. This week I have had to spend two days at home waiting for workmen to turn up both of which failed to turn up!
Yesterday I took dd (13) to London with my mum. We parked at Westfield and took the tube to Tower of London and Covent Garden. We didn’t get home until 9.30pm. Dh was in a mood as he didn’t know we would be that late. I had been messaging him throughout the day letting him know where we were and what the plans were. Asking him about his day, did he want anything etc.
I had got home and he hadn’t eaten as he would wait for me. I had said several times that we were eating out and I would bring him something on or he could go ahead and cook.
Today it’s one of my closest friends birthdays. We are both lightweights and decided to go for something to eat and a couple of cocktails but mak it early. So I’m meeting her in town at 4.
This has been discussed many times, but just as I’m leaving to catch the bus now he starts calling me selfish and doesn’t know why I’m married. That I’ve left him with the kids again. Dd is 13 and in her room, ds2 is 17 and at work until 11pm and ds1 no longer lives at home.
Am I being unreasonable for going out? It’s not like he actually has to do anything for dd. I haven’t left him with a baby or toddler and a big list of instructions.
I’m now stood at the bus stop furiously tapping this out and trying to calm down and not let it spoil my evening and friends birthday. I’ll be home by 9.
