DS made DH a card at school and didn’t want to give it to dh till later on the day. Dh got upset and felt unappreciated he woke up to no card, so decided to go out drinking with his friends today.

dh turns up at 7pm to grab something from home saying that we don’t appreciate him thats why he’s drinking… qeue ds giving his dad his card. Dh reliezes he’s been a massive twat and says thank you its nice to be appreciated but then still fucks off back out to continue drinking.

aibu to think he’s a twat and just used this as an excuse to drink?! Ai

Do people really take these days that seriously? And as your son has autism anyway couldn’t you just tell your husband there was something for him but your son wanted to give it to him later, and then you could all have just gone out somewhere? Your husband seems so childish.

If he wants to go to the pub he can create a scene that makes it the little lad/mum's fault that he's upset - then gets his own way

The pandering to the all mighty penis on this thread is mind boggling.

He’s a grown ass adult. He doesn’t get to fuck off all day drinking because he was “disappointed “.

My DS is the same with, we just tell each other that he wants to do something at X time. TBF we're not too fussed with Mother's Day/Father's Day anyway. Maybe your DH has his own rigid ideas, and because it didn't go how he planned it overwhelmed him? I can relate to that.
