My work shift was from noon to 5pm, but we had a trouble and had to deal with it.
As a result, I had to work overtime for one hour.
Before I left home, I asked my husband:
"Can you prepare dinner today? I will come home at the latest by about 5:30."
"OK."
He said.
Before I left home, he e-mailed to me and saying that he and our children were at the shopping mall.
I called him and asked him:
"Haven't you finished making dinner yet?"
"Not yet. We are at the appliance store and we will leave here in 30 minutes."
He answered unapologetically.
We usually have dinner at 6pm, after that, I do housework and take a bath with my children at 8pm, and go to bed with them at 9pm.
If the time we go to bed is later than 9pm, I know that my children will not be able to get up at 7am the next morning and it will be a hard time for me to wake them up though the morning is the busiest time.
I really want to avoid that situation.
And my 6-year-old daughter takes a long time to finish meals, for example, she always takes about an hour to finish dinner.
That's why I want my children to finish dinner.
I was really upset to hear his answer, but it can't be helped.
I came home at 6:20pm.
I was surprised that my 7-year-old son had not put his toys away and the room was messy.
To make matters worse, the window at the stairs wasn't closed and it had rained strongly.
The stairs were soaked with rain, so I had to wipe them with a cloth.
I tried to contain my anger and made dinner.
They came home after seven.
My son had not finished his homework yet and my daughter took for a long time to finish dinner because she was playing while eating.
It is needless to say at that point that I was most angry.

Hello Terry!
DeleteThank you for a lot of corrections again.
I didn't know how to use "contain".
I always learned a lot of things from you.
Thank you so much!
In one of my correction I noticed a typing mistake in this line:
DeleteSometimes are get angry and have difficulty containing my anger from other people. I
The line should be:
Sometimes I get angry and have difficulty containing my anger from other people.
Apologies for any confusion caused.
