The last time we went didn't go so well. We ended up shouting at each other. You see the bottom line is DH says he "doesn't like being told what to do" however he has no problem telling me what I'm going to do. Is that how a relationship is supposed to work? Of course not but he is too self centered to realize that I get an opinion too. OK, I'll admit we have great days and awful days, any disagreement we've ever had have to do with BM and SD, funny about that isn't it?
Ok, here's where I need help, I'll try to keep it brief.
We have our BD(20 months)and my kids (10&6) all the time except every other wednesday and every other weekend when my older two go to their dads. DH's daugher comes 3 weekends a month.
Our weekends are like this
weekend 1 all 4 kids
weekend 2 just SD(11)&BD(20 months)
weekend 3 all 4 kids
weekend 4 just BD
There is a concert on a weekend we just have the two girls. DH actually brought up the fact that we should get a sitter and go.
He said he would ask his mom to take SD from Saturday at 10am until Sunday at 12pm and I have already booked my parents to watch BD. (the concert is in another city 3 hours away)
Tonight I said I was going online to book the tickets and he said not too. He doesn't think that we should go because it's his weekend to have SD. I say that she's here 40 weekends a year and will 24 hours with his mom be such a big deal. He says he won't go and that even if it was a few hours with a sitter he just doesn't think we should "dump" her like that. WTH?? We've gone out on dates before when she's been here so I don't know what he's thinking. Is it just me or is he being silly? I plan to bring this up with the counsellor but I wondered what kind of response I'd get from everyone here first.
