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.

fuck him!

Serve dinner, put his in the bin.

eat now and let him warm his up when he gets home

get kids down early there could be real reason for being late but eat now and let him eat later i wouldnt say chuck it in bin he has been at work all day after all

Id ring him

Still no answer on his phone.

As for dinner we have had ours and hav'nt left him any.
No doubt he will go straight to the oven when he gets in.

bubblagirl.I just know he will have been to the pub so work or no work he will have to go hungry

Ooh, I'd be livid.

You need to have it out with him.
I wouldn't put up with it.

we wil be waiting here to see what happens. Let us know we have all been there

Tell him he's stupid for leaving his breifcase in the car, too.

I'd be tempted to put the door on the latch and retreat upstairs with a large glass of wine after the kids are in bed!

I would never be uncontactable for a single minute for fear of something terrible happening. Cannot conceive of leaving mobile in briefcase whilst going off for a drink, and I did, in fact, stop off in the pub on the way home tonight.

And I thought I had it tough - DH away a lot, sometimes overnight but 3 times a week leaving early and never back before 6pm... Poor you.

Have you asked why he is going to the pub and not coming home? I'd want some answers!

what happened, paperroses?
