man rant 🚹
So I have to be at work super early in the morning so by the time the kids are awake I’m already at work. So my husband has to do the whole morning routine and getting them to school. He texted me this morning telling me that our daughter was running a slight fever and he was going to keep her home. He works from home but sometimes has to go in the office for meetings or other things. I text him back and asked him if he needed me to take off work to come home and watch her in case he needed to go in the office for anything and he told me he would let me know but he thought it should be fine for him to work from home today. I called them after I got off work and was asking how the day was he said everything went well he had to run up to the office for an hour-long meeting but our daughter just stayed at home and watched TV. I was shocked and angry when he told me. I mean what if something went wrong!? She doesn’t have a phone or any way to get in contact with someone. My husband seemed to get annoyed at my frustration and told me next time he’ll just call me and tell me to come home. I was like yes please I would much rather you call me than leave our 5-year-old alone!!!

Also over the summer my older sister who has BPD and bipolar disorder was in a manic episode in called CPS on me. Thankfully the case was ruled out very quickly and there was no finding of any abuse and neglect but I’m still very anxious about the whole situation and I don’t want to be in that situation again. I don’t know if I’m being overly paranoid or if I’m justified in being angry. Part of me feels like he doesn’t understand the seriousness of the situation and if anything I need to be more angry and expressing my frustrations even more!
