AIBU to plan to stay home today?

[MeltorFreeze]

Heatwave forecast where we are with temps reaching 37. DH is calling DD,DS and me troglodytes.

He left this morning for a two hour bike ride. I shooed the DC into the garden for a while and called them in at 1130. I've said they can go out again when the shade hits it. I haven't planned to go out anywhere e.g. cycle and swim or go to the local pool. It is apparently idiocy not to plan either to go out early in the morning or to go to water today.

I haven't planned any of this because DS is recovering from a broken bone, is not allowed to cycle or swim. If we went to the pool, he wouldn't be able to go in the water anyway. And he sure as hell can't cycle there. DD has sporting activities every day after school so is hardly a layabout. DS is the lazier of the two and hasn't done a lot of sport over the past few weeks because, well, he has a to wear a brace due to broken bone.

So, should I have planned something?

Can't your DH take your DD swimming while you stay at home with DS?

My DD has a broken wrist and we are doing the same as you - staying in the house. Wearing a cast at the moment must be so hot, sweaty and uncomfortable. I’m letting her rest where it’s coolest - in the house.

Staying indoors all day is perfectly fine regardless of the weather.

The problem with staying indoors only applies if you NEVER leave the house.

The odd day in isn’t going to harm anyone.

he's just offered to take her wild swimming in a river, which he knows will piss me off. I don't think Dd is old enough or experienced enough and he says she doesn't need a buoyancy aid plus I don't think he is a strong enough swimmer to supervise her.
(He insisted she stop swimming lessons once she could swim a length of the pool as in his mind that's enough, she can swim now and the lessons are too expensive. I'm a reasonably competent swimmer, better than him and I wouldn't do it without a pfd. Neither would anyone else I know, I'm not being paranoid!)

We usually go out at the weekends, but things are hampered at the moment by DS's injury. All the normal stuff we do, we can't.

He sounds like an absolute tool. Does he have good points?

Surely if your husband lives with you all in your cave, he's a troglodyte too... cave's not good enough for him anymore, huh? Typical.

He sounds like a lazy, insensitive sod! Why didn't he take your daughter cycling with him and why does he want to torture your son by taking him to nice cool water he can't go in!

Fancy calling your own family troglodytes! He sounds lovely.

Your DH sounds like an irresponsible twat if you can't trust him to supervise your DD properly while swimming. That's absolutely ridiculous!

Sounds like everything is about what he dictates
