I'm very pissed and hurt (long)

in Pregnant after a Loss

Today I babysat out in the country.  It's about 15 miles from where I live.  There aren't neighbors, nothing.  I wasn't too concerned.  I show up, and a lady greets me who I don't know.  I've only met the mom.  Basically, mom and dad are out of town, and dad will be back sometime after 8pm. 

Everything goes great, I'm exhausted from running after 2 small boys.

At about 7:15, I just put the boys down, the power goes out - fuuck.  I check the circuit board thing- it's fine.  For the life of me, I cannot find any matches or flashlights.  Remember- no neighbors, no street lights, nothing.  

I'm FREAKING out now (I live in a big city in an apt surrounded by ppl).  I call DH in a panic and literally he says, "What do you expect me to do?"  Ummm bring me a damn flashlight you jerk!!!! I pictured myself sitting alone in the dark in the middle of nowhere waiting for a man to come home WHO IVE NEVER EVER MET!!!!! Doesn't that sound scary??

I was beyond hurt.  He refused to come basically saying there's nothing he could do.  Yeah freaking right.  He was simply acting selfish and dense.

Luckily, the dad got home at 8 so it was still light out.  He said their generator went out.  I didn't even know ppl still used those.  I get home and DH goes, "Oh yeah, real dark and scary."  I explained how I was in an incredibly vulnerable situation and he should've been there for me and Jack- bottom line.

I'm so angry with him and really hurt by his actions.

    I called my parents in a panic while I was babysitting asking what I should do (yes, I'm 24 and still call my parents in a panic, I'm kind of a baby.) They asked if he was coming, and I simply said "no." Now they are all pissed at him and he thinks I talked trash to them. I would NEVER talk trash about my husband to my parents. I'm better than that and he should know it.

    The people who lived there should have shown you how to check the generator.  DH definitely could have brought you a flash light or come out and stayed with you.

    We have a gen cuz we live in the country and lose power alot.  Its not our main power source though.  That family must have a HUGE generator!
