This isn’t my first post, I’ve changed my username so it isn’t linked to my rather more personal first post.
I’m writing this whilst my toddler is napping in the car, just came back from a walk in centre and parked outside the house.
So, my partner works away and we have a 15 month old. He has worked away the majority of the year and comes home on a Friday night at about 11pm and leaves Sunday at about 3/4pm. He works 11 hour days and travels 3/4 hours on top of this each way on the weekend. He works really hard so is to tired he says to do any meals/housework on the weekend and I seem to still spend loads on time with my DS without a break. He gets a lie in one day and i do the other and that’s it. He finishes work at 6pm and they go out for meals during the week/pub quizzes/ping pong and so on. It’s almost every night that he is there during the week. I on average sit down at 9pm if lucky
He didn’t come home last weekend as he was working a Saturday so went out on the Saturday night til 3am and had Sunday to himself
This was his final week before some time off! I am so excited. He finished work on Friday but they wanted to go out to celebrate finishing this project tonight. So, he stayed Saturday and is out tonight. They do this at the end of each project as they probably won’t see them again as all freelance.
Meanwhile our DS had been sick all week as have I. One day I cried on the phone during lunch saying I can’t do this (I know, I know) I got myself together pretty quick. He didn’t phone me that night to check in or ask how I was as they went out. I was a bit hurt but got on with it.
Anyway my toddler got worse on Thursday so I went to the dr. All okay but had to do night time check ins every 1/2 hours. When telling him this he kept say ‘aw, at least I’m back Sunday’. No offer to come home this morning if I needed it. I spent last night cleaning up sick and drying spare sheets till 11pm then night check ins. He won’t be back until Sunday evening,
They also went out for a meal on Thursday night as apparently quite a few people won’t stay over to go to the party but he is?
I know he works hard and deserves it too but, I can’t help but think if your partner and child are ill, you don’t stay out an extra 2 days if it’s not work?
Well, my toddler got worse today and I spent hours in a walk in centre.
Aibu to be annoyed he didn’t come home this morning? Knowing his child was already quite sick and so am I (I’m not too bad but still exhausted and feeling ill).
