Give me strength-ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[paperroses]

DH has been home late all this week and can be home for 5pm but has been coming in at 7-7.30 after a jaunt to the pub.

DS and DD have ben at home todat with a tummy bug and since about 2pm have both perked up considerably and are arguing and running around like mad things.

Emailed DH earlier to ask him to be on time tonight as don't want to be waiting around to eat again and the kids are driving me mad.

He said he would be on time.

6.05,still no sign of him.

Do I ring?
Usually a waste of time as he leaves his phone in his briefcase in the car .

Have been counting down the minutes since 5pm.

hi, just discovered mumsnet and read your message. Assume he came home eventually? He really is not being fair to you. I know how hard it is being home with kids all day, you need to have a bit of 'you' time when he gets home. I bet 99% of mums would love a jaunt to the pub every night! And no. You are not being unreasonable. He is. Hope you sort things out.

If this happens again - pop out to the pub the second he walks through the door. Repeat every time he takes the piss. He will soon get the message.
