Just a couple of pints....

My OH went to the pub at half 4 and is still out now, clearly drunk.

It's his first day off of some leave and we've come to visit my family for a couple of days. Didn't come home after 'a couple of pints' despite my family member cooking dinner for us all.

Not the first time he's done this, can't stand it when he's drunk and he talks crap and is obviously going to be useless tomorrow when we're meant to be having a day out somewhere with family and our children.

I'm a teacher and just feel like I'm treated like free childcare during the school holidays.

I'm having to wait up for him because he doesn't have a key to get in the house. I don't mind him going out but why lie about going for a couple when he literally cannot have a couple and has to have 10+ pints?! He could have taken a key...if we were at home and he did it I'd leave a key under the mat but can't do that at someone else's house!

Just a rant really. I could quite easily have gone to get an hour ago. FFS.

Did he get up and go out with you all today?

I’ve got nothing against adults going out and getting a bit pissed every so often but for goodness sake, there’s a time and a place, and when you’re having time off with your family and someone has made you dinner, that’s not the time. Rude behaviour, I’d be livid with him:

He's swerving your family then?
Maybe an underlying message there op...

Yes, like nothing happened

What? So so sorry. He either doesn’t want to admit what he’s done or genuinely feels this is acceptable. He’s definately kicking out against something - booze or no booze - leaving his family all day on a family trip and coming home late - that is enough

That’s so rude. I wouldn’t put up with that.
