to think DP should have stayed at home with me and DD?

[MissingMyHeels]

DD (4.5 weeks) and I have a horrid tummy bug - lots of vomiting and tears from both. Went to GP and if DD hasn't eaten and kept it down by tomorrow then she will be admitted to hospital and put on drip.

Once a month DP runs a club night (tonight) and DJs it until 4am. He does this with a business partner/fellow DJ. Whilst it is difficult him not being there it's not impossible but he has gone anyway despite my pleas for him to stay. AIBU?

LEM - Think he has realised it, I text him asking him to stay here tonight and he responded saying he would and he is finishing at 2am instead of 4am.

I just don't think he "gets" the whole being a parent thing just yet, I don't know at what point if any he will realise that DD is number one priority and sod everything else. He is not really selfish but he has an inflated sense of importance, I think he believes the world will stop if he misses a gig/club night/work etc.

Oh well, all done now and DD is finally asleep and I'm heading that way too. Thanks for listening everyone and reaffirming that I wasn't being a crazy hormonal girlfriend.

how are you and dd doing? is hospital looking likely?

Hope you are better this morning. Thinking of you,

hope your both a bit better today and that your dp is sucking up for all hes worth!

hope your dd and you are better today and managed to avoid the hospital.

How are you today? Any better?

We are both much better now thank you and DD has had several wet nappies and even a pooh so keeping stuff down even though it still seems she is vomiting a fair amount.

DP worked from home yesterday to make up for things and look after us and we had a really good chat about things. He admitted that sometimes he just doesn't get "being a Dad" and the implications that comes hand in hand with that. He does realise he made a bad choice on Thurs night so hopefully he'll start to get it a little more moving forwards Thanks again all.
