Thanks. I definitely feel it's odd that he wouldn't immediately panic when he got home and she wasn't there, especially after the call going straight to voicemail twenty minutes earlier. I would assume that if he thought she was at a friend's in the same complex, he would go over to check, but AFAIK he didn't. I just find it odd that he took so long to start feeling alarmed. Especially since the school called him around the same time he arrived home to say HB hadn't picked up their son. I know everyone's different and it's been discussed that maybe men are less quick to worry than women, but if it was me (or even if it was my husband)- unanswered phonecall/straight to voicemail would probably seem strange, then to get home and he's not there with the baby, then to be called by the school soon after to say he's not picked our other child up... THAT is when I'd start to really panic, not hours later.
Oh yeah, if my phone goes to voicemail, my husband loses his composure, gets all panicky and one time when I left for the pool/amenities building to work out without my phone, he thought something had happened to me when I didn't answer and called 311. I am never without it anymore. He is extremely protective of me. I just wanted to work out without having the phone ring. I have many friends who call "just to chat" and I didn't feel like chatting. I wanted to work out. I just happen to have married a worrier.
