To think it is a good thing that dh goes to kids parties whilst I tidy?

Dh and I split attending parties for our 3 dc which I have always been grateful for. It means I get time in the house to tidy when he does the party duty. However this morning when a friend asked why I wasn't at the party and dh said I was tidying, the friend sneered and insinuated that he was lazy leaving me to tidy. Now dh is refusing to do any more parties. So is Aibu?

I'd be very happy to see a dad at a kid's party. Especially if he was friendly and happy to chat. If he's regularly going to them with your kids then good for him for sharing the social side of parenting - I wish more dads would do their share in this respect.
