Dh day off first in over a week! He going to help friend working on boat he says this morning! Ok fine ds and dc and I off to toddler group!

Now 2.50pm and I ring him to ask him how he is getting on!! Fine but not be back any time soon unless I want to do something! Said well I need doctors(nothing major just painful thrust that won't go away)! Anyway he not comng back!

Am I selfish to be p off that he hasn't come home to spend some time with dear family?

Or am I just tired and miserable beeattchhh

Ummm did you spell it out to him, that that was your wish for this afternoon before he left?

I do find I have to be really clear on what I'd like, to my hubby for him to realise. He doesn't seem to think at all like me!

We're going through a tricky patch but in our good days, I still needed to do this.

Hiya tea yes I did say that I needed to go to doctors but would have to book it later when he came back otherwise appointment would mess up his plans.

I don't know anymore!! He will be working really hard from now till sept and I suppose he deserves some time messing about with his friends! I'll just have to book doc another day when he has time off!! Maybe book it in advance and he can take dc to toddler group!

I am also not a natural mother and would appreciate his company and help dealing with them!

Maybe if you do something nice together as a family that'd be good for you both. I don't know how old your DC's are but it's lambing season, so going somewhere like a farm might be fun. May even get to help fed the lambs. My toddler loved doing it a few weeks ago. Or if a little older the Science museum or London Aquarium if close to London or something like that? The EnjoyEngland website does have some great ideas.

That would probably do you both good.

Have you booked a babysitter and gone out for Dinner lately together? You sound like you need it but I could be wrong...

Thx tea fir your advice! I will sort out a family day next time he has day off. My ds loved lambing last yr and he now 3.5 so vet he'd love it again this year. I'm gonna book up to take him and if dh can come too brill.

Fingers crossed we are supposed to be going out just the two of us on Saturday night. Should be a lovely night. Just cajoling him to ring his mates whose do it is!

Thx very much x

....I was wondering about the 'painful thrust'!!

teaandcakeplease · 08/03/2010 17:23

That's true shushpenfold I skipped that bit...

No you're not being selfish and definitely not a beeyatch!! Sounds like you just miss him a bit. I would just spell it out a bit more and make plans with him to do stuff as a family or just the two of you so that you can look forward to it.

Nettiespagetti · 08/03/2010 20:55

Lmao thrush not thrust what would i be complaining about!!

Thx kaffers I will talk to him about it and sort out some family time x
