Big hugs Josie! I know from experience how scary it is when you don't know hwere your kids are! Lachie "runaway" from home last year. He wanted to go with dad. He was missing at least 30mins before I knew he was gone and as we live on the murray, hubby thought the worst. At least they were with a some what responsible adult and not sitting at police station waiting for the parents to call. All up he was gone over an hour. I was so upset that I had severe nose bleed!

Try to keep it all in perspective, He was just trying to be helpful by not listening!

Oh that would of been scary... alot of things must of ran through your head, especially when the lights are on and no one answering the door, i'd think something might of happened inside... but dont want to think about that... Im just glad everyone is ok and that it is just a misunderstanding... at least he did end up calling you and finding out where you are as well before your battery went flat...

Enjoy the PINK concert, alot of people i know have gone and said it was great... Take care...

You know Josie, I understand how frustrating this guy is, however perhaps you do need to take a step back & accept that he is never going to be as organised or reliable as you are.  Sit down with him alone when you get a chance & let him know how upsetting his behaviour is.  He wouldn't have wanted or expected you to panic, then I am guessing you went ballistic at him; so he is only going to resent you for it, he won't want to change.  Treat him like a kid; reward good behaviour with a lot of thank you's and be specific about what he does that makes you happy and helps you. 

When he does something wrong, like be late, be in the wrong place etc.  Explain how this affects you and the children adversely and how much you need him to come to the party & provide moral support for the children... Do it at a time when you are both calm, have time to communicate & it is more likely to be successful than taking it out on him when you are upset.  You are the bigger person, so look at the long term outcomes that you wish to achive and be patient, he has to want to help you and that will only happen if you are being civil to each other.

Hun, he was at least trying to make an effort, so don't be too hard on him.  I would have been scared too, but panicking only makes things so much worse.

It is kind of funny though, you were both trying to get hold of the other! And one that definitely needs to be added to the daft group!

That must have been so scaary for you you poor thing. glad you got them back after the almost heart attack hugs xx

That must have been frightening for you so glad it all ended OK for you all

Love Pauline

 How scary !!!!!

Hope you have a great time at the concert

How frustrating for you and scary, not knowing where the kids were just for those few minutes. My question is did they get a bath or did you have to do that yourself?

You will have a ball at the Pink concert. We went last week and it was the best thing i have ever seen.

Love Juzzy xoxoxox

Pink is great in concert from what I've heard (I've never actually seen her) but my partner has seen her live near the front row he reckons she's worth every cent.

I guess I just lost my boyfriend I don't know where he went! So I'm gonna spend my money, I'm not gonna pay his rent! I got a brand new attitude and I'm gonna wear it tonight! I'm gonna get in trouble, I wanna start a fight! Nananananana I WANNA START A FIGHT!

Next time you'll have to stick a post-it to his forehead lmao At least he brought them back on time (after dinner) apart from forgetting you were going to pick them up, he probably thought he was in your good books again
