To think DH is being unreasonable to DD?

DH and I have 2 children between us, my dd(13) and his ds (also 13). DH has a stressful job (nurse) and has been working 13 hour shifts for five days and tomorow is his day off. He is kicking off about the kids being off school saying he was really looking forward to having the house to himself and as a result has asked his DS to arrange something to do. So his DS has arranged to go to the cinema with his friends and hang out in the city centre. DD hasn't arranged anything and wants to spend the day at home. DH is livid and expects me to MAKE her go out somewhere so he can have the house to himself. I think he is being unreasonable to insist on DD going out, it's her day off too and she just wants to relax, not be forced out. His reasoning is that he's made his DS go out and DD should too. I have suggested HE go out for the day but he wants to stay home by himself. I'll be at work.

AIBU to NOT make her go out?

I'm afraid I'd be wondering what he's up to as well. Grin

I would tell him to f*&k off. Its not like she needs a babysitter. Tell him shes got a mound of homework to get through.

How bizarre. It does sound like he wants to get up to no good but won't be able to if your DD is there - it is such an extreme reaction though. Is he always so selfish with his children? It sounds as though he doesn't really like them tbh.
