I have been lurking around MN for a while now but not posted much. I could really do with some opinions about how back this is.
Background: "D"H and I are having a lot of difficulties, not all his fault as I appreciate it takes 2 etc but I am having trouble working out if this is as bad as I think or if I am overreacting because I am upset about lots of other things.
The problem is that I had to work today. H had the day off so he was looking after our 2 children DS(12) and DD(6). They went out on the bikes and when they got home H realised that he had dropped a bank card. He left the children on their own together and went to look for it. They were on their own for at least 15 minutes and in he went a mile or 2 not just out in the street.
I don't object to DS being left for an hour and he is very happy to be on his own but they fight like cat and dog and so I don't think that it is safe for them to be left on their own together. DS is also NOT good at looking after his little sister and often refuses to help her unless I intervene. DD always thinks she can do things that she can't i.e. chop veg, get things out of the top cupboards.
Nothing bad happened so was it OK, am I overreacting or right to be annoyed?
