Dh’s work lunch was at 12, when would you expect him home

[Lightswontstopflashing]

If it was you?

Not expect as in, he has to be home a certain time, but 5.30 now and still not back..,almost 6 hours at a work lunch 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s a 10 minute drive away

If he’s not drinking I’d expect three hours?

Depends what the plan is. If they're going to the pub it could be any time. My husband would give an ETA though roughly.

Not until at least 8pm.

Midnight tbh

I'd expect people to go elsewhere afterwards and it could be anything up to gone 3am. Unless otherwise discussed in advance. But DS is a teenager so we're quite blasé these days, no one has to be up to feed the baby here.

(Am assuming he's in a taxi or getting the bus, not drinking and driving back)

not drinking : 3pm
drinking: midnight

Probably about midnight!

Drinking, taxi back

He is out enjoying himself. I wouldn't expect him back until late

Midnight

Agreed. Much later than you think! They always go on somewhere else if there's drinking involved. So 9pm if you're lucky but could be 2am.

I wouldn't expect anything, it's his Christmas do!

If drinking I would expect him home when the pub/bar/restaurant shut.

When he's ready

Maybe midnight or thereabouts personally.

Once I'm in bed.

He's out enjoying himself.

I'd leave him to it, he'll be pissed now no doubt.

Hope you get a night off too!

Anywhere between 7.30 - midnight depending on where they go afterwards

Boxing Day?? #nothelpful

Anytime he wants to come bank.

Silly o’clock, because it’s his Xmas work do.

I wouldn’t. He will be back when he is back unless he has agreed other wise to help with kids.

Did he give you any idea?

9pm..??? Depends what kind of gang they are.

I'd assume at the very least working day + commute time (if not drinking and doesn't like colleagues).
Beyond that... How long is a piece of string?! 8pm? 11pm? 3am?

Did you discuss a time beforehand? Does his being out make things very difficult for you at home?
