We popped over to our neighbours house this evening with 7mos old. I don’t drink but husband was enjoying a sly one. All good. I gave DD her bottle there then at 7pm said she would need to go to bed.
Husband said he would stay for ONE more, which sort of riled me but fine. I came home and put her to bed.
Now, usually I don’t care about this stuff. He can go and have his fun. But I had mentioned several times today that I wanted to go to the gym this evening as I hadn’t been last couple of days (I go at 10pm, DH goes in the afternoon). I enjoy the gym. Going in the evening gets me my alone time out of the house.
He rolled in rather drunk at 9.45 saying “You have time to go to the gym!” rather happily like he deserved a medal for giving me a thought.
But I can’t, can I?! I told him I literally can’t leave a baby, sleeping or otherwise, with somebody who has had that many drinks. One or two, fine. But let’s definitely draw the line at 6 Manhattans.
Anyway, he’s taken that as a bit of a slight on his parenting abilities - and that I am overreacting and my plans haven’t been scuppered.
I’m sure everything would be fine - but you really never know if there might be an emergency. I just have never felt comfortable with it.
He also said I should have just text him and told him to come home. I feel like he’s a grown man who shouldn’t need anybody else telling him what he should be doing…
Grrr. AIBU? Am I just tired and annoyed and need to go to bed? Or would this have riled you up to?
sincerely,
Drinking Tea in the Kitchen and pretending I’m fine
