To get this irritated with DH for not contacting me?

I’m not a needy woman. I lived alone for nearly twenty odd years before meeting DH and having two children. But I really get fed up with DH not telling me anything about his movements.

So today is an example. Both our children have swimming lessons; one child in one place and one in another. So we divide and conquer. I have the toddler and DH has our older child. I get home with the toddler and DH isn’t there. The minutes then hours tick by and it’s nearly toddlers nap time. I decide to make her lunch and of course the second I do DH pulls onto the drive with DS. DS comes running in very pleased with some toy he has which the toddler starts wanting to; she refuses lunch, I try to get her to nap but no chance now.

It’s just … if he’d let me know what was going on I could at least have said to leave the toy in the car or have made lunch when they both came in. But he never ever does. I’m partly just venting as now I’m stuck with a hungry and grumpy toddler all day. But … why can’t he tell me stuff?

I did call!

Thanks for answers and especially for @OhNineFiftyFour for ‘getting it!’ 😂 So silly I know but it is a mess if you miss a nap. She did miss it and weirdly I know the night will be awful now as for some reason if she sleeps in the day for an hour or so she sleeps through or wakes once; if she doesn’t then she keeps waking up 😩

Still it is not a massive big deal really.

So you called…. Did he ignore? Miss?

And you didn’t drop a message to enquire?
