How to keep calm in front of DCs when lying DH comes home?

[HPDeskjet]

DH has lied to me. I rang him at work and asked him to tell me the truth. He may or may not have told the truth. Who knows. After I had put the phone down on him I texted him to ask him not to rush home because I was too angry to see him.
His response included, "Please don't shout at me in front of the children".
I replied back with "Oh no, I won't shout at you in front of the children. Ironic that it is MY actions that might affect the children. Thank you for reminding me that I should think about the children's welfare".

So, he will be home in about an hour. He says he is going to tell the truth (yeah, pull the other one). How do I pretend that all is well in front of the children? How do people do that? I won't be able to even look him in the eye. I need tips on how to be serene until the children go to bed.

The only thing I can think is to tell him to come home after the kids are in bed or else to tell him to keep well out of the way of you.

Other than that, if you're boiling mad then the kids will probably pick something up anyway :/

Get a babysitter, and meet him somewhere.

Ouch.

How about finding a job to do as soon as he comes home? ie "Ah good, Daddy's here, I'm sure he'd love to hear you read/sing and give you your tea and do bathtime while I just sort out the cupboard under the stairs for him to sleep in" ?

Arse. Strikethrough fail.

what's he done?

He's just arrived home. I am hiding in the study.

What has he done?

I think horry has given you some great advice.

Hope you get some truth out of him later.

I don't know what he has done. I know he has lied about his whereabouts on several occasions.

He went straight upstairs. I am now hiding in the kitchen like a good little woman.

Oh gosh, hope you can manage to get the truth out.of.him and that whatever he has done, you can find a resolution.

get the frying pan out ..nothing worse than a liar

Don't look him in the eye if you must converse with him before the kids are in bed.

Talk to him if you must while doing something else, be it washing up, tidying, whatever. Keep busy.

erm am i missing something...why give him a couple of hours to weave more bs..

cantvkids be plonked infront of tv for 5 mins or play in their room

i wouldnt shout or make a scene but i would be damned i wouldnt give him 5 mins weedling out the shit time..

confront him now, look him in eye and show him you wont put up with lies and bs

hugs xxx

Well we were in the kitchen together for 5 minutes with no eye contact. I suppose that is good spineless bastard

I imagine that by the time you read this, you'll have had the conversation with him so not bothering posting any tips on handling it. Just wanted to wish you the best and say I hope you're ok

Hope you are ok OP

Hope you're okay, OP. Sorry you are dealing with this arse situation.
