I am fully prepared to be told I am petty and unreasonable.
He gets regular meals out with work. I don't (different job and line of work, fair enough).
When he is out, I look after the DC alone (one has severe LDs and ASD and bedtimes are a nightmare). Due to the DCs' needs we don't go out together (no childcare) and I rarely never go out due as we cannot afford it and I don't wine and dine though work. DH doesn't go out otherwise either.
Now, come Xmas do time - DHs company will fully the cover a lush bash whilst my company has decided on a lovely meal in a very posh restaurant - without the company contributing. The cost for me would be £50 + drinks and train which is too much.
I now don't want DH to go to his. My reasoning is: It will be yet another evening whilst I am in sole charge of the very challenging DC and that it is just not fair that I cannot go to mine.
I have told him that I want him to stay at home. He called me jealous and petty and that it isn't his fault my company won't pay for our do.
Am I really that unreasonable? I admit I am highly stressed (combination of working and caring taking a toll on me) but I am really not happy that he has a Xmas party when I don't.
Gosh, just reread my post and I sound like a little child. no idea why I am so upset about it.
