DH only cooks for us a couple of days a week, and today he was rustling up a roast dinner. DD's have been fighting & bickering all day so he split them up. One seated by front door, the other on the landing. Anyway, he eventually releases them (with a warning to stay away from each other. I go into our spare room (where they had been playing) and ask one of them to tidy up. This sets them both off screaming & shouting again and DH says they are NOT to help me tidy up, it can be done later (to save the peace). I say, I don't want to have to supervise them clearing up later on in the evening (I will want to relax at the end of the day), so he screams that I am being too controlling and says that's it, he's off out of here! He says you won't want this will you? And promptly bins the roast dinner . Then he storms off in his car (he's had a couple of glasses of wine). DD1 screaming and crying and trying to clear up mess, saying she would have, but Daddy wouldn't let her.
Anyway, dds cleared up, I cleared up the pans & roasting trays, cooked another tea and all is calm. DH hasn't come back yet. I am afraid of his reaction when he does. TBH he is rather prone to sulking and may now not speak to me for days. Any ideas on how to handle him when he comes home?
