Why wouldn't you just tell him what you were up to? Like in a normal conversation. I don't get the bid deal here.

You were apart for SIX WHOLE hours! My god, how did you handle it?

Please, tell me every second from the moment you left until you returned about what you did. Don't leave anything out. Did you pee? How many times? Color? Order?

Did you eat? Finish all your food?

Obviously, you are not a grown woman and need your DH to treat you like a child who has been on a "big girl outing".


What are you talking about, the concern was about the husband not interacting with the kid, not the mom.

The part that struck me was that he was on the phone with his sister and arguing. Do adult siblings do this?

PP here. I am a woman, for the record.

Ok, I have two of them so I can say this with some confidence: five year olds are not interesting. Listening to my children, whom I love more than life, talk about their days can at times be interminable to the point of near actual physical pain. CTFO and get over it.

When we got home after being out for 6 plus hours, DH said, "how's things?" and then sat there reading a magazine while DS and I ate cookies and milk and played with legos. WTF? Can't he even pretend to be interested in how the kid's day was or ask him a few questions about what he did?

OP,
I have to ask- is there a history of feeling like he doesn't care or is passive aggressive? If this is truly an isolated incident I wouldn't give it another thought. if this is something that typically happens and then you have a big reaction, well then you don't need to ask us what is going on!
