As a department we are going to the school production tonight and for a meal first. Three of the 6 of us are not coming to the meal because they are bringing partners to the show (why?? Dh would rather have his teeth pulled 
) and these men will need their dinner first 
.
One of the women is considerably older than the rest of us, one is my age and the other is in her twenties, ffs! The two younger ones have form and are always talking about how helpless their men are and would never eat if they (the women) didn't cook! Once, the one in her 20s had forgotten about an after-school meeting and had to frantically phone around her family who live nearby to find another woman who would cook the bloke's tea!
AIBU to find it depressing that people still live like this and to find it rude that they will not attend the dept 'do'? ingated the Secret Santa and I think it's a shame that these gits won't be handed out at the meal but in a rush at break-time. Hod has bought our show tickets and another gift for each of us and I know she is disappointed - I don't know, it just seems to be a snub!
Before anyone starts I do like these women (especially the yougest, actually) and we get on welll as a department. I just struggle to understand this mindset.
