Is this normal?

I forgot about my daughter's trampolining club this eve (first time) so instead it was just a normal evening routine.

I haven't told my husband because he'll be annoyed. I think he'll either get cross or be sarcastic. It's easier not to mention it as hell only make me feel worse about it.

Is this usual? What would you do in a similar situation? Do you hide it when you mess up to avoid confrontation?

This happens a lot... for example, I've not told DH that I've got my son a fidget toy for assemblies at school because DH won't understand and poo poo it.

Does anyone else do this? Is this completely absurd?

Can I be honest. He sounds like a control freak? It would be much easier if he helped you surely rather than chastising you if you get things wrong ? I know how you feel in a way as I’m the default parent and it’s a lot to deal with. Hope you are ok ?

Yes, having to hide things you do/dont do in case you get in trouble is really not ok.

Yes I was a bit like this with my ex. It was easier to hide things than see just moody face or listen to his comments. I wouldn’t stand for it in another relationship.

It's not a healthy relationship if you have to hide irrelevant or unimportant things from your partner.
