to expect DH to be slightly interested in his DD's education?

[McDreamy]

We're moving back to the UK next year. We think it will be in time for the new academic year and so DD will start in Year 1. The area we are going to has a real mixture of schools and I would like to go and visit some before we make a decision on which one to send her to but of course our other issue is which ones will have space for her.

DH just doesn't seem that bothered. Says I am wasting my time looking up ofsted reports, looking at school websites. He says we'll just have to go with what they offer us or go private (which I really don't want to do).

In a way he's right. I can't get her into a school with no room but finding out about local schools, seeing what our options are, basically doing a little bit of groundwork is surely reasonable. Being able to discuss it with him is surely reasonable without him dismissing me like I'm talking about which brand of baked beans I am going to buy?

YANBU. Your dh sounds plain lazy.

I don't think YABU to want to plan your dd's education, but I think he's just being logical really; there's perhaps no point in visiting schools which are full. Also you are basically pretty unlikely to get a place at anything but your catchment school, anyway....

i don't think it means he's uninterested in her education, he is just coming at it from a different point of view. It doesn't necessarily mean he will be uninterested in her education when the time comes, perhaps?
