dh not reponsible adult, neighbour is livid

SO... dh had day off work to care for the two ds's, I' am at work. he worked between 4am and 7am so he was tired, even though I advised and suggested to him not to go in. I get home later on that afternoon and the neighbour is going nuts. The ds has had been playing ring the bell and run away, posting rude notes at their door and generally being out of control! Shockingly bad behaviour even from them. I am beyond mortifyed.

Where were you I asked dh? 'Asleep in the bedroom', he replied... I went apeshit too. I have a dh that isn't responsible adult and now our neighbour is rightly very angry. Am disciplining the ds's with sorry notes to the said neighbour and extra chores and extra talkings to about how to be kind to people in general lessons...

But how to deal with a f-ing usless dh? He thinks this was acceptable childcare.

Depends how old they are, doesn't it?

Well make your DH go round and explain it to the neighbours he was fast asleep and wasn't being responsible. At least make him take responsibility for what happened.

No , not acceptable? How old are the dc? Why did neighbour not wake dh when it started, did they know he was in?

How old are the kids ? Are they normally well behaved ?

KnittinKitten · 26/04/2018 10:59

Confused has he never looked after his children before?

LIZS · 26/04/2018 11:03

Agree with feelings, he needs to take the dc round to apologise.

I mean really I would be more furious with my DS, if hes old enough to write letters and reach for door bell he is olde enough to not behave like that.

Firstly the discipline of your childten You do not say how old your children are. They need to apologise to the neighbour face to face not write notes of apology. I would also ask the neighbour if there is a job your sons can do for him e.g wash his car, weed his garden, mow his lawn you get my drift.
The children should have mobile phones (if they have them) taken away and or no game playing on internet for example.
As well as lectures on their behaviour.
Secondly your DH is an appalling roll model. He obviously has little or no interest in his childten. Why does he not understand that one or both of the children could have been hurt do to his lack of care. Anything could have happened. Much worse that the boys playing "knock and bunk".
