DH says 'well I'm just not going to go then' RE NYE.

I said I don't mind if he goes out while I look after the baby (1 year old) but would like an idea of when he will be back (could be well into the next day) so that I can factor in recovery time (his) and get an idea how many hours I will be left with the baby. He says he can't say because he doesn't know and doesn't want to give me a time and then piss me off by not being back at that time.

I think considering our circumstances that he should be prepared to tone down his night of excess and have a plan. He just wants to carry on as normal and do whatever without having to worry about a plan.

He is now saying he just won't go out at all then which is just brilliant (not) because no doubt everyone will assume I have banned him from going and I do not want to be seen as that person when actually it's not true.

Am I being unfair? Maybe it is wrong of me to 'allow' (I hate that phrase but that is basically what I am doing) him to go out but then put restrictions on him?

I know you said you won't be posting any more but I don't think you are being controlling or unreasonable.

Your DP is acting very immature with the 'fine i won't go' rubbish

I don't understand some of the comments on this thread... why is it an issue if a parent goes out and gets drunk once in a while, your social life doesn't end just because you've got kids.

If i am feeling a bit delicate the morning after a night out DP takes this kids out for the morning so i can have some peace and i do the same for him.

DP doesn't feel hard done by just because he has to 'look after' the kids without me for a bit, he would be with them anyway.
