A little annoyed with dh.....

Today is Molly's program at school. He never takes off early from work unless he absolutely HAS to, however, he gets done at 2:30 in the afternoon. I told him a couple of days ago that her program was today, and could he stop on his way home (he would get there around 3:10 - they are done at 3:30)? He said yes. Then he told me yesterday he was carpooling with a friend of his today. I reminded him of the program and he said he would drop Kevin off and then come right to the school. O.K., so he would get there at 3:15 - not bad. Then, Kevin called last night and said he would drive, because he has to pick up an entertainment center from a friend, and would dh help him put it in his truck? So of course he says yes. Now, dh isn't even driving, and there is NO CHANCE that he will make it before the end of the day. Then he has the nerve to ask me if I'm mad. Hmmmmm, lets think about this? YES!! I'm annoyed at you! When he was talking to Kevin, I even reminded him in a loud voice that Molly's program was today. He said he forgot!! DUH!! So, that is my vent. SOrry. I love my dh with all my heart and he does so many wonderful things for me and the girls, that I shouldn't complain. But he really doesn't get to school that much and I thought he could do this. Sigh. As my friend always says when her dh screws up "Boys are dumb". LOL!!

Thanks for letting me vent....

Wendy,
I would be mad,too! He told you he would be there at the school, and then made other plans. And why do husbands always "forget"?? I'm sorry this happened, here are some (((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))

Oh, Wendy! I think this is a man thing. They just don't get the importance of being at school functions. You seem very involved with the school, maybe he just thinks that since you're doing it he doesn't have to.

I can see why you are mad and I would be too.
Sad that all the times you remind him, he still forgets

DH is like that too - I don't think he's gone to one thing of the girls' unless its been in the evening (science fair, I believe it was...) I don't have any advice - just wanted to say I know how you feel !

Hugs,
Liz

Ya know, he probably just didn't think. I understand your being annoyed, but sometimes men just don't get it. They're not malicious, they just don't snap to what they're doing.

Your DH reminded me of mine agreeing to help his friend pick up the entertainment center. I have a husband who can never, ever, ever say "No" to anyone. Because of that, he gets taken advantage of, and refuses to see it or doesn't care. It has caused us many arguments in our marriage! BTDT!

Just let him know how ticked off you are. Don't let him think it's OK. I'm sure he'll be remorseful. He sounds like a good husband and father, just maybe has his clueless moments. . . But don't they all?? ;)
