My DH is so annoying

His day to do the school run, asks me what time he should leave (even though he takes DC to school at least twice a week). I tell him, he’s now leaving 15 minutes later than I told him, they are going to be late. He gets up at 6:30am every day, I don’t understand how he manages to be late every time. He won’t admit to being late, he’ll say they got there “with a minute to spare” even though I know it’s physically impossible.

Could it be strategic incompetence? He’s trying to get you to do all the school runs?

Has he left yet?

regenerate · 19/01/2024 08:37

if late they have to sign in separately so you can find out!

No it’s definitely not strategic incompetence, just incompetence and chaos! They weren’t late, to be fair, because he dumps the DC scooters and rushes them to their classes first, and takes the scooters to lock up at the bike racks afterwards. Which I never do, but that’s because we’re always early enough and I like to get the DC to “help” me sort their own scooters out.

So they weren’t late but it was still chaos!

if it gets late, then it is a problem

but being just in the nick of time and it being chaos… well that’s his prerogative on his two days. Lots of mumsnetters seem to have chaotic mornings so he’s not alone!

are you WFH on his days?

Does he then go on to his office? or come home?

To reword your original post...

lol, if I had a penny for every time I read/lived a situation where a spouse was annoyed because something was done differently to how they prefer it...

Definitely a LTB situation!

Don't even get me started on those people who put the toilet roll wall-side! special place in hell

I agree with previous posters. He did what he needed to do. Maybe not the way you would have done it, but you have to let him parent in his own way (as long as no one is being harmed obviously).

Well he did get them to school on time. How he does this so up to him. It's not wrong or incompetence, he just does it 'differently' to you
