Really Dh?

I am so annoyed at him, and he doesn't seem to get what the big deal is.

I am home sick today, I feel like crap. I knew I wouldn't get the rest I needed with Jack home so I sent him to school. I hate doing this, one because there are a lot of teachers that talk about parents who do this, and two I work there so if they are down a teacher an extra child could screw up all the ratios.

Anyway I took my chances and drop him off around 9am, feeling guilty that I called out and that I was abandoning my child there when i was not there. Usually we get there at 7:30 so it made me feel a little better that he wouldn't be there as long as he would be on a normal day. On the way back home I call Dh and ask if he can pick him up. He says sure, great that means Jack will be picked up 4-4:30 again not as long as a normal day, now I feel better about dropping him off. At 4:00 I text Dh to remind him, I get no response back. I give it 45 mins and then call him, and get no answer. Now not only and I wondering if he forgot, but I am starting to worry. I call 5 more times and get voicemail each time. So I call the school and ask if Jack has been picked up yet, NOPE! It's now 5:00. So I jump out of bed, and don't even take the time to make myself presentable and rush to the school to get him. Dh finally calls me back when I am half way there. Turns out he has tutoring today which means he wouldn't be there till 5-5:30 an hr to 1.5 hrs longer then Jack is usually at school.

I'm not sure if I am more annoyed about the fact that he failed to tell me he would be tutoring and wouldn't be able to get him till 5:30, that he didn't answer any of my calls which freaked me out, that I had to go out in the cold and rain when I feel crappy, or that I then had to walk into my workplace and hear how they were down 5 teachers today, and they hope I am back tomorrow. 

Thanks for nothing honey!!

I don't get the thought process of men sometimes.

Feel better soon and hang in there!

that is very frustrating!

i don't see why parents shouldn't drop kids off if they're home sick- i would love to have the option to have my kids elsewhere when i don't feel well so that i could rest. if you are paying for daycare, why not have your child there?

I agree and I agree even more now that I am a parent. But we have parents that bring their kids in whenever they are home and they are there for the entire day, sometimes longer then 8hrs so a lot of the teachers, usually the young single one judge their parenting. Now that I am a parent I would love a day off w/o jack to get stuff done, or rest if I am sick. They will understand one day when they are parents.
