[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was the end result? This would determine my anger level. [/quote]

End result: I had to cancel a meeting, sprint over to aftercare (because spouse had the car) and pick up the child. I was 2 minutes late. And strapping on a mask after sprinting is dizzying.

The excuse: “I was in a meeting.” [/quote]

So he was working. I'd give him 1 out of 10. Raising kids are like that. [/quote]

No, he doesn’t get a pass because raising kids are hard. GTFOH. Mom had to leave to work, cancel her  Meeting and literally run over  to pick up the child. This is happening way to many times to be an oops. [/quote]

The folks downplaying this are missing OP's posts saying this is a semi-regular occurence.

The thing that you may not understand if you've tried raising kids with someone like the OP's husband is how draining it is to always need to be on duty. If you have a partner who regularly forgets pick-up, or changes plans at the last second, or doesn't come home when they say they will, it means you can never truly focus on your own job and you can never totally relax. You are always waiting for that phone call that says the kid is still at daycare/school/practice. Not to mention that I'd warrant OP does the lion's share of the other executive functioning in the relationship - doctor's appointments, birthday parties, meal planning, etc.

It is absolutely draining and relentless for decades. [/quote]
