Hi,

Massive Vent session!!

Yesterday DD had a reaction and i was all out of medication to give her!! (stupid i know, kept meaning to go to chemist) She gets mild reactions from eggs no swollen lips, throat etc (Thank god) Just blisters on her face. When it happened i rang DP (which i knew he was not far from home) he did not answer so i rang again and again. (i would only repeatly ring in emergancy) So when he finally answered he said "what for gods sake" I just hung up cause i was so mad that he said that!! So i bundled all 3 into the car and went to the chemist myself (no easy as there all so small and baby was crying) DP arrived home and explained that he couldnt answer the phone as he was lifting somthing!! I didnt even ask and we have not spoken since!
I pi$$ed of with him for answering the phone the way he did and his tone he knows i did repeatly ring unless its very important. Men!!!!
Sorry needed that!

YABU

You should have put your dd's needs first before getting stroppy with your partner.

YANBU, MEN just dont think like us tho.

FranSanDisco · 22/01/2010 14:32

YABU he's not a mind reader.

CirrhosisByTheSea · 22/01/2010 14:35

Was he at work?

Hulababy · 22/01/2010 14:41

YANBU to be cross at the way he answered the phone. I assume you don;t normally ring him ovr and over. In that situation, for us at least, DH would know that if I was ringing several times it must be something important.

However I wouldn't be doing the ignoring thing. Better to have a tal about it, get the upset and concerns out in the open and clear the air. better for everyone all round.

No i dont ring over and over, he knows i would only do it if its important. I am angry about the way he answered the phone.
I did put my daughters needs first and went stright to the chemist, i was ringing him while i was trying to sort 3 kids and get them all in the car.

sounds like ou are more cross with yourself for being out of medication

he should have answered, but blowing this out of proportion, by not speaking is totally over the top

i have a DC who has a nut allergy, we have several bottles of medsicine in teh house, in the kitchen, bathroom, my room etc.

he answered and you chose to hang up rather than ask him for help once you made contact

I'd be seriously irritated by anyone who rang and rang me and then when I'd finally had the chance to answer, put the sodding phone down on me! So I'm afraid you were the instigator of your own inconvenience here.

YANBU for being annoyed at the way your dp answered the phone.
YABU to have run out of medication-"kept meaning to go to the chemist."
It is lucky your dds reaction is "mild", but one time, it could be more severe.
Treat yourself to a glass of wine and choccies and the next time your dp needs something, develop a severe case of "Icant hear you itis!"

YANBU. If someone rang me repeatedly when they were not in the habit of doing so I would assume it was an emergency and certainly not be impatient with them. You should have told him what had happened though and made him feel guilty and not have to put yourself and you dc out. Understand how irritating it must have been though. Hope your dd is ok now.
