To have told a white lie to dp

[charliejosh]

I asked DP if i should take thursday off work for the school strike instead of sending ds to the ex mil's and he thinks I should save my holidays if I can and take advantage of the ex mil's offer......I have booked thursday off anyway and told him the ex mil is working that day.

I just want a whole day with ds, without step dd's and dp around - it never happens and he goes to his dads every weekend so aibu to be taking full advantage and telling a white lie?

SheCutOffTheirTails we aren't married

but thanks for your opinions ladies as I have told him the truth now and said I wanted some quality time with ds while I had the chance and no one else was around

"I wouldn't have asked my dh.
"

mumblechum has said it all. Why on earth did you ask in the first place, never mind why are you bothering to lie about your decision.

You're a grown woman, this child is YOURS not your ex MILs and if you want him with you and not here you shouldn't need to lie about it or to ask anyone else - just do it.

Good for you.

Have a lovely day

so what did he say when you told the truth?

ChazsBrilliantAttitude Thank you

paulapantsdown he thought it was a lovely idea -I am a bit daft sometimes in that if we had carried on the conversation and I had disagreed with him it would likely be me that ended up mad and I just like to have a quiet life! If I made him out to be a bully that was unintentional because he is lovely to me....just opinionated

Could your DP have taken time off? Did it have to be you?
