Last night I went out for dinner and a show in our closest city (40 minute drive away) with some friends I only see a few times a year. I left baby DS (5 months) with DH for approximately 5 hours. The show was booked befofe DS was even conceived so I was really looking forward to it.
I arranged for DD to sleep out so DH would only have to deal with DS. Expressed 2 bottles for the fridge and had 3 other bottles ready to go. DS has been left 3 evenings with my mum, sis and DH's sis so this wasn't the first time. He's always taken a bot quite happily in the past.
While I was at the restaurant he told me there was an ant infestation and he had to pull up all the carpets. Before we went into the show I got a text saying DS is being a grump. At the intermission he had text me saying that DS wouldn't stop whinging. That they were running out of bottles and sent a photo of DS crying. I called and told him to steralise the bottles in tbe dishwasher and that there was lots of frozen milk that could be used. He was obviously grumpy with me. If I had left then my sister would have had to come with me as we shared my car or taken the bus home (if the show finished before the last bus).
I stayed and watched the second half. Which I did enjoy but at the same time I was willing it away to get home to DS. When I got home DH was moody with me and said I hadn't communicated well? I had left my phone in the backseat of my car on the drive home but my car is old I would have had to have spoken on the handset anyway which isn't very safe. DS was grizziling in his cot. He had a big feed and slept through.
Aibu in thinking that DH shouldn't have text me when there was nothing I could do from that distance? Or should I have cut my losses and come home early for DS?
