[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of those threads where I would love to hear the DH's side.

OP keeps complaining about all the childcare she needs to do today because -gasp- her husband didn't cancel one remaining meeting this afternoon. Meanwhile her DH has taken their preschool and ES age kids out for errands and then pivoted to take them sledding. Sounds like a pretty great dad making the best of a WFH snow day.

His stomping and slamming doors and yelling in front of the kids is obviously not acceptable, but I suspect it was in response to OP escalating things first.  [/quote]

Agree! I feel like he’s a good Dad too![/quote]

Nope.  Good Dad's discuss expectations with spouses ahead of time and don't throw tantrums in front of their kids.

A lot of people on this thread calling OP "controlling" for wanting good, basic, reasonable communication and respect for her work.  That is what this is about. The idea that OP asking for that is controlling is BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some of you can't read or are projecting your own BS onto this.

OP has stated that there is a pattern of DH expecting her to NOT do her work to take care of the kids when she is supposed to be WFH.  OP also stated that she already covers medical appointments and sick days and when her husband travels.  So it sounds like this snow day is the straw that broke the camel's back for her.  In isolation, maybe you could say the OP should let one go, but this is not a one-off.  And then, on top of all this, he has a tantrum.

Totally team OP.  Your husband is acting like a jerk.  He wants you to be a SAHM.  He makes decisions that impact your workday without discussing it with you first.  He is in the wrong.[/quote]
