Another summer work thread ..

[WonderingMum2]

Two parents, both working full time, father out of house, mother mixture of WFH and office. Mother (me!) organised all camps, play dates and other cover. Also did most of the collections. Tonight first night I absolutely have to work late and he has to collect and now I am getting texts about how under pressure he is and how hard it will be to get home. He’ll do it - he has to - so AIBU to be really irritated about the texts that I can’t physically solve?

I'd txt back something like 'I know it's hard isn't it, but I managed every day last week and this week so far, so you'll just have to push through when you do it today. Remember it's only a few weeks then they'll be back to school.'

Yes I’d say something like the above!

He is trying to reinforce to you that this is your responsibility.

Dont let him get away with it.

I hope you completely ignored the texts and got home when it was convenient for you.

Bottom line, you're out grafting full time too so make sure you stay strong and assertive at all times.

Completely sucks though and is draining so you have my complete sympathy.

Well, my first reaction would be Fuck Off.

But more constructively, use some wording like PP suggested.

He’s being an arse and it’s fucking annoying and you should definitely tell him so. Up to you his forcefully you express it!
