To expect husband to actually ask how his child is?

[Ask555]

Toddler DS been a bit off for the last few days so was expecting something coming. Sent him to nursery this morning but was called because he was 'distraught' (their words) with a temp of nearly 39 and wouldn't eat or sleep.

I rang my husband to let him know I was leaving work and his friend/work partner answered as he was in the bathroom I told him what was going on and he said he'd let DH know and get him to ring me when he was out of the bathroom, sounded like they were parked up somewhere was the jist I got.

Not heard anything since and that was at 10am. He's had his lunch since then.

AIBU to expect him to at least send a quick text to check how his son is? It's not an issue with work, he could easily ring or send a message and I don't doubt his friend passed the message on.

This isn't the first time he's annoyed me seemingly not really giving a shit when something goes on with DS.

Maybe he let him know and was expecting a text from you when you had your child to let him know how they were. Maybe crossed wires.

You don't know what message he actually received though. You might have said 'DC is really upset and not feeling well, so I've taken the day off and I'm collecting him. Get him to give me a ring when he's back'. and his partner has passed that on as 'Ask has gone to collect DC because he's not very well. She says give her a call later'.

Given that DC is being well looked after, he might just be planning on giving you a call at 5pm before he drives home to see if you need anything picking up from the pharmacy. Give him another call if you really want to speak to him!

You are over thinking it

I agree
