Should I have waited - school results related

So like many other parents in the country, yesterday we were anxiously waiting for DD's reception place allocation email.

I have been worrying about this for weeks as there was only really one school we liked when we looked (and one of the reasons we moved where we did 5year ago before we had Dd)

Dh on the other hand hasn't seemed too bothered, and when I said I will be a bit upset if she doesn't get in there he told me it doesn't matter and to get over it.

I am currently wfh and dh is still working but on shifts so was off yesterday. I was finishing off a call when the email dropped in, opened itn found out we had her first place and ran downstairs to tell dh and dd.

After initially being pleased, dh then started sulking that I should have waited for him or called him so we could open the email together. When I said he had never said that before (and we'd even had the conversation about how as soon as I found out I would let him know and he said nothing) he said I should have thought and been more considerate!

After a few too many glasses of wine last night, he has now had a full on rant about how it was unfair I found out first and how I should have used his email so he found out first to see how I would have liked it. I now feel that a really happy moment has been spoilt!

@champagneandfromage50 are you talking about Crazy's post, as I read that as a piss take.

I don't think there is anything wrong about being excited about your child's first school, esp when its all new to you as they are your first child. If your dh wanted to know about it at the same time as you, then you gave him the opportunity to say so and he didn't. It's a shame he has marred this particular event by being a child about it. Hope you've managed to have a sensible conversation with him by now.
