A woman has slammed her husband for turning his phone off while on a stag do in Spain.
Stag do's are known for getting messy but one woman has turned to parenting forum Mumsnet to ask if she is being unreasonable for being angry at her husband who hasn't been in contact.
Remaining anonymous on the forum AIBU [Am I being unreasonable], the wife explains how he is away for four days and she has been left to care for their children and step-son.

While some mums thinks the husband deserves some time off, others rallied round, slamming him for his behaviour.
The worried wife explained: "DH [dear husband] went on a stag holiday to Spain for three nights and four days.
"We have two small children, one who needs specialised care and DSS [dear step-son] who’s week it is here who is an early teen.
"DH left very early yesterday, texted on the plane and at hotel arrival. The last message was 3pm on Wednesday and his phone is off since!", she fumed.
"I am trying not to be angry but come on!!! At least check in!"
The comments flooded with over a hundred women rallying around the concerned wife, with many disgusted in the husband's behaviour.
One ranted: "Oh my god. Its not your son but his & your other child has additional needs and he hasn't even the manners to ring. This is not on. Also I would book a holiday for yourself soon without him."
"Why on earth is the stepson there without his father? My god, don't be such a mug", a second lashed out.
A third agreed: "It's absolutely unreasonable that his phone has been off for roughly 36 hours while he's out of the country and you're on your own with young children. (Personally, I would be very worried that something is wrong.)"
"I wouldn't expect to be on the phone every day but at least a text in the morning and a text at night to let everyone know you're alive! Turning phone off is unacceptable. Imagine is something happened to you or any of your children and you needed to get in touch?" Another interjected.
"It's so unnecessary isn't it and shows no consideration for you at home", commented another.
"I would be calling the other partners and wives to see if they had heard anything, get a message out there and actually check nothing has happened to him? I would be worried if this was out of character for him. Ring the hospitals and maybe file something with the local police?"
But there were others who agreed that the husband doesn't need to check in all the time and argued that the wife should 'let him enjoy himself".
One piped up: "I wouldn't expect my husband to call me. He's off enjoying himself - let him do that!
"My husband travelled about 120 nights a year and my stepsons lived with us (and we had two of our own) and we spoke briefly most days but not always. I think you are being ridiculous."
And second agreed: "I wouldn't expect contact when away for a lads weekend. And I'm the same on a hen. It's not low standards, it's total trust in my partner and wanting him to enjoy himself!"
