First ever AIBU, but figured this was as good an occasion as any to test the waters...
My DH is a chef and has been at his current job for about 10 months. Today, for the first time, I went there. I was with our DCs (toddler and newborn) and my DM. DM has been there before, I was curious and DC1 was really excited to see where his Daddy goes every day.
DH saw me as I was waiting to pay. I had a very quick chat, only because I asked if it was OK to take an extra plate for DC1 and give him some of my meal. (This to me is a conversation he might be expected to have with any paying customer...) He said it was fine, said portions are quite big anyway, and went back in the kitchen after waving to DS and DM.
I paid (full price) and went to join the others. We ate, had coffee and left. All in all, we spent 50 minutes there.
DC1 kept asking where his Daddy was, I kept explaining that he was probably busy but would come and say hi in a bit... Only he never did. I texted him to say thanks and bye.
I realize that I shouldn't have promised a toddler something I have no control over, and was sorry he was disappointed.
However, I personally feel hurt that DH didn't introduce us to the people he works with. I didn't expect him to take time to sit down and chat to us, but would've thought that he'd at least just tell the other staff that his family has popped in. Quick hello, no red carpets.
I feel like he's embarrassed by me. He says that I have issues and it's unreasonable to think he should introduce us during a busy work day.
So, MN... AIBU?

AIBU?
AIBU to be offended because DH didn't introduce him to his colleagues?
