Big son has his Driving Test tomorrow afternoon - if he passes, he wants to go to see Harry Potter as a congratulations celebration. If he fails, he wants to see Harry Potter as commiserations, and so that he doesn't have to speak to anyone for several hours whilst he comes to terms with it, and takes his mind off it.
I told hubby this over a week ago.
Last Saturday, hubby had to spend all day running a Beaver Scouts Fun Day because all the Beaver Leaders decided they weren't available after originally saying that they would be.
So I said that they should cover his Scout group meeting for him, so that he could spend this ONE Friday evening doing something that is important to his firstborn child! He said that he agreed.
So, off I go to the cinema tonight as agreed, and I book - £21.?? for 2 students (me and big son), one child (small son) and one free carer (coz we have the CEA Card ~ http://www.ceacard.co.uk/) and that is the cheapest way to do it. ~ You can't book the carer's ticket online, so I have to go in person. (Don't get me started on discrimination!)
Anyway, we're booked in for 7pm, and we have to be there by 6:30pm as they're expecting it to be very busy. I'm thinking *at least* 6:30pm as we've got to find a parking space too!
As soon as get home & I tell hubby, he starts yelling at me. Yelling so much that small son comes in to lounge to see why daddy's yelling at mummy! He's telling me I'd no business booking in for 7pm, and that I should have booked a later one so that he could still go to Scouts.
So, let me see - Scouts finishes at 7:30pm, but he's never home before 8:15pm - so then he'd have to change out of his uniform and then we could set off, at about 8:30pm at the earliest, so the earliest we'd arrive at the cinema is 9pm and the next 3D showing would be 10pm. And he wants to take an 11yr old to an 10pm show???
Anyway - cutting a long story short - he stops yelling, and texts the other Scout Leader, blaming me, saying that he's ONLY JUST found out that he can't be at Scouts tomorrow because I've booked this without him knowing. And he had to tell a teenage helper that he can't give her a lift because I've JUST done this, and he didn't know about it. Making me out to be the bad-guy in it all!
I'm so sick of it! We have a caravan rusting away on our drive, unused for over 2 years because he's decided that he'd rather do Scouts every Friday night than spend time with his children. Doesn't want any weekends away in it. Money down the drain.
So now I'm saving up the couple of hundred quid needed to get myself on a training course to learn how to tow it, so that I can go away for the weekend in it sometimes, and if he wants to come, he can meet us there after he's done his precious Scouts!
And now he's denying that he was yelling - young son was apparently mistaken, he didn't shout at me at all. And I got it wrong, he didn't yell. And big son? Nah, he's imagined the yelling!
