Not coming home, but able to go karting….

Ok, so, am I being unreasonable about this, or should I give some slack?

My husband is part of a go-karting team (very local - they’re of going to win any major championships). We are in the Northwest of England. He said he’s going to be away with work at least Tuesday-Thursday with work south of Birmingham for his current project (Logistics Manager). However tonight he’s miraculously made it back for a race before going back to his work location. I am seething with rage… but am I being unreasonable to suggest he can’t be bothered to come back home for us (me +2xDD)?

Extra context: I have an executive-level job, have taken my eldest daughter with me to work today (with approval from the CEO -due to 2 week half term at her high school), taken youngest to Brownies after going to get supplies for a charity shoe box and done all the usual everyone would expect to do on a weekday with a 9 and 11 year old. Then I get an ‘oops’ type message to say he’s at karting (20 mins from home), but will then head back to work/hotel.

Am I out of touch or what? Please advise!

Awfully selfish. Tell him to leave himself and his skid marks at the track and you want no more to do with him.

YABU - regular hobbies are hard to keep up with work commitments and sacrifices have to be made
