Has anyone else ever done this? Just once even?
My husband and I are fighting. And it’s because of something I did.
I left the kids at home alone to go and get my dry-cleaning.
Before you throw something at me, it was only for five minutes. The dry-cleaners is at the end of my street. But when I told my husband in passing, he was genuinely angry with me about it.
Our kids are two and four. They were watching cartoons and tormenting each other, like usual. And it was raining, and the dry-cleaners were going to close before my husband was going to get home, and I really, really, needed the dress to wear out that night on a long-awaited girls’ night with two of my best friends.
So I snuck out, locked the door, ran down the road and got the cleaning. I came back, and everyone was fine.
I didn’t think it was a big deal at all.
But my husband told me that it’s changed his view of me as a mum. He told me that he never thought I would be so careless with our kids’ safety. He says anything could have happened.
And we’ve been arguing about it ever since. Because I’m really upset that he’s really upset with me about it.
Is this the most ridiculous fight ever, or was I really irresponsible?
