Why do I have to be involved with DH taking the child out? Said hours ago he was taking DS out for the day. So I could have time to myself (to clean the fucking house).

Sits around eating sandwiches, drinking tea. Eventually has a shower. Can’t find his keys. Announced that they can play in the garden as they’re meeting his friend until 4.30.

DS is tired, bored & loses and the other lot. Both of them start having a meltdown. DH says what’s he going to do until 4.30? I don’t give a fuck. Just get out! Here’s s coat, hat, snack, water, nappies, now piss off. Why do I have to be involved at all?

They’re home. Son’s face is sunburnt & he’s had just ice cream for dinner. Oatcakes & banana are still in the bag. Haven’t checked his nappy yet…

I'm a calm person but I would be absolutely furious with DH if he brought our child home sunburnt. That is neglect.

The obvious answer is to take the child out yourself and leave the OH at home to clean the house - that’s how it worked in our house .

Your house sounds great. If i did that, Id come back and the house would be even more of a mess!

I would be beyond furious at sunburn. What the hell does he think he’s playing at.

wait until your baby is in bed and unleash all hell on him. Make it known in absolutely no uncertain terms that he becomes a propper parent or you will be divorcing him.

id also photograph the sunburn and tell him you will be informing the health visitor about what he’s done. I hope this may shame him. I’d also be giving him some stats on how he’s just increased his child lifelong skin cancer risk.

can you tell I’m angry????
