Just fed up! Small things...

This is probably petty, but a little sick of fighting for a little support and getting the brunt of things!

Basically yesterday I got caught in a the rain with toddler DC1 (mine and DPs) - had a big buggy full of shopping - had to pick up DC2 who was also drenched and took them both on second bus to class. I asked my DP to pick me up after as DC was going mental - on his way home from work. He asked me to wait 1 hour - so I said no I'll take another bus. I did feel a bit unsupported - but I was polite back to him. Took the bus - came back, made dinner.

BUT! He came home in a big mood with me 'for my tone' and ignored me all evening!!! I'm so fed up of this. He picks up his DCs from their school every day as they finish a little later - and I didn't ask why I had to wait an hour but it was probably to fit around them. They are all older (one is 19!) and could also easily take the bus -it is a straight route. So you know what (sorry, about to really moan) - but yes it is a bit shitty that the ONE time I ask for a lift (one his way) I rarely ask, not only do I NOT GET A LIFT BUT ALL MY DSCs DO - but I get the brunt of his anger!!! I should be the one in a mood! The reason I have to take all these buses was because I moved from my very convenient to town/DC school house to his out in the middle of nowhere too.

My DP is the only one to have a car (can't afford one for me).

Yes Bananas you are so right! That is our main downfall too. I probably sounded a bit like i'm preaching! x

What I try to do and what happens is probably somewhat different

HappyMama - Yes I think this is what sparked my post really. Things were looking, fairer, more settled, but it's never quite works out smoothly!

It's been a few years but it's been such a struggle at times I honestly would never have started this relationship if I'd known what it would be like - and I'm the sort of person who doesn't give up easily!
