To be pissed about this

So my DH decided to call me at 19:15 after telling me he was on his way home at 16:45, however, after the walk to car him and the other manager decided more work needed to be done so went back into the office and didn’t bother to tell me! I was worried about him and plus I feel it would be nice to know when he is coming home as we have 2 young babies!

That's a very quick turn around for anger.

It isn’t the first time and all I wish is that he would tell me when he is coming home. So annoying

No it's not? If I was told someone was en route home and then only two and a half hours later decided to call me again and say actually, I'm only now heading home, I'd probably have been worried in between times but yes, I'd also be annoyed or angry. Especially in the days when my kids were little and I would be counting the minutes down for some respite.

I would have called him to find out what was going on when he didn’t turn up when I was expecting him, especially as the children would have been asking for him. I would have been fuming if he just hadn’t told me he wasn’t coming back.

I'd be a bit stressed out if it was the early days of babyhood when you're literally like pllleeeeaaaasee and counting down the minutes

Yes that would have annoyed me.

I called him twice, no answer. He said he just got caught up in what he was doing, but yes, I want to know when I’m being relieved as it is bloody relentless at the best of times at home! I do work part time but don’t think that is relevant. He seems to think I should enjoy the time I have with the kids like it is a luxury and then makes me feel guilty.

Stunned nobody has suggested he wasn't actually working yet!

If you have two babies at home it's common courtesy to let you know he's delayed.

Oh, i must apologise, i totally misread the times! I thought it was 30min! Do ignore me!
