My partners dad lives down south
He is in the area on holiday
Last week he said he would visit today to see partner.
All week I have said to him to text his dad and ask what the plan is.
What time he is coming etc
My partner has a hospital apt at 2 ,so I said ask him to meet you after your appointment.

His dad rang last night and he said to him
"Yeah I'm at hospital at 2 ,if you want to come over first or meet me after ,up to you"
His dad said il come over before.

Partner didn't ask for a time
Or if he wanted to grab lunch before

So this morning I'm up but have to pop out
I have repeatedly asked him to text his dad and ask for a time he is coming.
He refuses saying "he will come when he is ready "

I say "do I need to buy something for lunch "
He says "don't know ,dad might want to go out "
So I ask him to text him again ...
No he will just come over

Aibu to be pissed off ?
1.he should of said after 2 In the first place
2.have common sense to be a adult and ask a Time

OP

according to your thread YESTERDAY (about lying on your application)

you haven’t worked for 6 years

So now telling porkies here

Drizzlebizzle · 25/07/2024 08:35

I'm with you a bit OP. If i'd been asked to take a day off, i would then be involved and would like to know what's going on. Leave them to sort food though.

Micromanage? Much?

Edingril · 25/07/2024 08:36

Why on earth would you take a day off work?

pictoosh · 25/07/2024 08:36

You don't have to clean everything.

YABU It doesn't really matter what time he comes. You seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill.

Make sure there is something easy in for lunch. They might decide to go out for lunch. Who really cares it's just a brief visit from a parent.

He asked me to take the day off work especially
At first he said we will go for tea after my appointment.
Then he said he wasn't sure
I said well il just go to work
He said no you have to be here

So surely I should have a idea if I need to get ready to go out somewhere nice or if he is just popping for a cuppa
If it's the later -I've just lost a days pay for nothing

This info would've been helpful in your OP. Now it's more understandable why you're irritated.

Oh well that changes things! I mean it must be impossible to take a day off work when you don’t have a job!

and the irony that the other thread about lying on her application

JMSA · 25/07/2024 08:42

Just butt out! I'd be absolutely demented if I were your partner.

paintedpumpkins · 25/07/2024 08:52

This kind of thing drives me bananas, but you can’t change people who are like this.

feathermucker · 25/07/2024 09:05

OP, seriously?

politicalintrigue · 25/07/2024 15:04

i didn’t think the op would be back after her blatant lie about working and taking a day off!

The house is a mess
My partner has been off work all week and done nothing
So this morning I have to clean everything before the dad gets here
So I'm stressed

You're ridiculous.
Why do you have to clean up for his father?
