DF has won a community award, quite a big one, which is lovely and he feels pleased with himself.
He wants us all to attend when he gets given the award, but its in the day on a working/school day!
DH isn't bothered about going and he has asked him to take time off work, and re the school I have said I will ask permission and he said " let me know if you need help with the school" He is quite pushy. I really resent this pushiness. He also questioned DH as to his time off and how come it was all booked and where are we going etc. Again i resent this - as if he is assessing how important our booked off time is.
My DD is 8 and the thing is already misses a good few hours of school on a regular basis due to an on going medical issue that we cant choose times for. So it not even a one off small absence and only a week before the ceremony she will have missed a good chunk of her day for medical issue which we cant help.
I feel uncomfortable now, in that I feel obliged to ask the school for permission even though I dont really want her to have time off.
Just for background, DF is generally generous with ££, well meaning and kind but also has a very pushy selfish streak. For instance a few times and once in detail I explained this medical issue DD HAS in the past and he had no recollection of it when it was mentioned.
If I dont ask the school at all but just lie and pretend they said no can he ring up the school to ask! I don't want to sound mean but I do also know he wouldn't take time of f work etc. I resent the inferance he could somehow "help" with the school if they denied permission.
