Aibu regarding husband not keeping to his word

[victorious35]

I'm at home today and I'm toilet training my lo. I had a few jobs to do and couldn't bring her with me so my husband who's working from home said he'd work downstairs and keep an eye on her whilst I pop out to get stuff for our other dds birthday (we live 30 minutes from shop so an hour travel time) once I was back for 2 as he has meetings. First I get he would be down at 11am then it was 11:30 and he's still not down yet at 12. What's annoyed me is normally I'd take my lo with me but we only started potty training this week and it's going well and I'm afraid with toilets being limited we'd be set back. I had wanted to go last night when he finished work but he wanted to go for a run which is why he suggested I go this morning and he'd work downstairs. I get work takes priority and sometimes things happen but he makes time to go for a run everyday. Just needing a bit of a vent

Why can’t he look after her upstairs when you’re out?

Are you are waiting for him to come down before you go out? Can you take your DD upstairs to him if you need to go out on your own? When we toilet trained we always took a portable potty out with us, and put a bin bag on the car seats in case of any accidents while in the car. I know some methods of toilet training say you have to literally stay in with the child for 3 days, but that always seemed a bit OTT to me.

I can see why you are annoyed about your husband making time for a run each day but I wish mine did as he's really packed on the lock down pounds!

Just take her up to him and say bye. He knows the plan, you won't have time if you leave it too late, no point sitting downstairs waiting for him.

Take her upstairs with her potty. Drop her on bus knee/on the floor in the office and say - I'm going to X - see you in an hour. AND GO!!

Why don't you just go upstairs and ask him to come down?

Thanks everyone for getting back to me, sorry I'm only getting round to replying now. He came down at 12:10 I managed to get to one of the shops but not the other so that will have to be done tomorrow. I couldn't bring her upstairs as it is all carpeted upstairs whereas downstairs is hard floors she's only in the very early stages so still having accidents.
This isn't a once off every night he should be downstairs for dinner about 5:30/6 and doesn't come down until 7. I find if I complain I'm told he's earning (I work too just not currently due to the pandemic so only earning 1/2 my wages)

If he's not down in time for dinner, it'll go cold. How unfortunate for him. 😉

Thanks @Justmuddlingalong that made me smile 😊
