DP is an F1 freak, I am fine with this, I like it too, but not as much as him. He goes off on jollies a few times a year, generally to Silverstone etc, camping with his dad, brother and nephew and has a great time and all is well.
He is currently on his way home from a Karting jolly in Munich. He went with two people he knows via Twitter, he'd never met them before, and they have been racing against one or more F1 drivers all weekend. He left the house at about 8 on Thursday morning and will arrive home about 8ish tonight.
Would it be peevish of me to be pissed off with how long he's been away?
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind him going, I just mind that he's been gone for 4 days, leaving me with two seasonally hyper girls (6 & 3.5). He was so taken up with what he was doing he didn't do any tidying on Wednesday when he was at home, instead he went shopping for a new suitcase (because the rucksacks we have wouldn't do ) and left me trying to scurry around getting the place tidy enough for the cleaner to be able to see the surfaces and floor on Thursday afternoon, before I went to work on Thursday morning. He was so vague (not unusual) that when I asked him initially what time he was leaving on Thursday he said 10am, so I assumed he would take DD1 to school. No. His flight from Manchester was at 10, so I had to run around like loon getting both kids ready and drop her off at breakfast club, all at the last minute, whilst he focused entirely on getting himself ready and out the door.
Or am I just jealous that he seems to be able to bugger off on a whim whilst I am left at home with the kids.....?
