[quote=Anonymous]Okay, I rarely go out with my friends anymore, because I don't really trust my H to take proper care of our DS (almost 3 years old) by himself.  Once per month, I drive out to Bowie after I get off work, to stock up at BJ's.  I usually am home by 9pm.  Yesterday, traffic was terrible both ways, etc. and I didn't get back until 10:30.  On the way out, I call H and told him I would be home after DS's bedtime, so to make sure to put him to bed and not wait for me to do it.  I walk in around 10:30pm last night to find H in bed asleep, and DS watching the Disney channel.  WFT??  His bedtime is 9pm.  So, apparently, H took DS to our bedroom, sat him in bed with him, turned on the TV, and just went to sleep.  He didn't brush his teeth.  His diaper was soaked.  I got DS to bed, and tried to wake up H to help me carry in the groceries (it's a LOT of groceries).  He refuses, says he's sleeping  and getting up early to go hunting, and to go away.  again, WTF?  I had to carry all the groceries in and up our stairs by myself (we don't have a driveway either, it's street parking).  By the time I got everythig put away and got into bed, I couldn't sleep because I was so mad.  He got up at 4am and left to go hunting.  He's texted me twice this morning saying how much he loves me, etc. (read - he knows he f'd up and is trying to be really nice to me rather than just apologizing or taking responsibility).

How upset would you be?  Now, I don't plan on going balistic or anything, but do I have a right to be as mad as I am?  I'm pretty sure when I confront him, he's going to blow it off as not a big deal.  But, he's not the one who has to get DS up in the morning and get him to daycare on time.  He was extrememely tired this morning, and it was not a pleasant morning for me or him.[/quote]
