Her Husband Flipped Out On Her Because She Forgot To Include Him In A Little Activity With Their Daughter The Night Before Her First Day of School
When you’re a parent, there are often a lot of moments during your child’s life that you don’t want to miss. But unfortunately, you can’t be there for all of them.
One woman was shocked after her husband flipped out on her because she forgot to include him in a little activity with their daughter the night before her first day of school.
She has a five-year-old daughter named Tegan, who just started kindergarten. Tegan had been nervous about the upcoming school year all summer, so she wanted to find an activity they could do together to make everything feel more fun.
“While browsing Amazon, I came across ‘First Day of School’ chalkboards and bought one with chalk markers to do with my daughter the night before school starts,” she said.
“They came in the mail very quickly, so I put them aside with a few other purchases, as I didn’t need them for a few days.”
The ‘First Day of School’ chalkboards often leave sections for parents and their kids to write out the grade they’re going into, their teacher, what their favorite subject is, what they want to be where they grow up, etc. They’re a fun way to get kids excited for school and make great photo props.
Unfortunately, the chalkboard she bought ended up causing a lot of drama in her house.
The night before school, she was very busy. She took Tegan school supply shopping and then played with her and her two-year-old in their backyard pool. During this time, her husband complained about how hot it was outside, so he stayed inside and played video games for two hours.
“When the kids and I went inside at 6:00 pm, I gave the kids baths and then cooked dinner for everyone,” she recalled.

“After dinner, I sat down with Tegan to fill out the chalkboard so it would dry for tomorrow’s picture. I also wanted to relax for a few minutes. [My] husband came storming into the living room where we were sitting. Immediately, he started arguing with me over the boards.”
Her husband freaked out on her and told her he was mad because he didn’t know she had purchased the boards and didn’t tell him when she’d be filling it out with Tegan. She was shocked at how angry he had become over such a small thing.
“He accused me, in front of my daughter, of being selfish, inconsiderate, and rude in regard to his feelings,” she explained.
“He called me disgusting. When I suggested he sit down with us on the couch, he claimed he was still eating and, therefore, not ready. When I reminded him the boards were about our daughter going to [kindergarten,] he replied that I ‘screwed up’ in not including him.”
Later that night, she tried to sit her husband down for a discussion one last time, and he refused to talk to her for the rest of the night.
She figured her husband wouldn’t care about filling out the board since it was something meant for Tegan to do. Plus, the two of them would be taking her to school and sharing that special moment with her, so it wasn’t like he’d be missing out on something important.
However, her husband’s reaction to the situation made her wonder if she did something wrong.
Was she wrong not to mention the chalkboard to her husband, or did he overreact?
