to be feeling saddened by this

so I do party plan (like Body shop etc) and I have an awards night and conference to go to. I arranged for mil to look after children several months ago. She now can't do it. when she told dh he apparently said in front of oldest ds. "she (meaning me) will have to sort something out as I am not taking a day off work to look after kids".
Think mil must have had a word as he never said this to me and he has agreed to take time off. but saying that in front of your eldest child.
aibu to be sad and abit angry about this?

hmm. So he doesn't need to help sort out childcare as sorting it out as your responsibility right? Hmm

It's a bit thoughtless but not a massive issue. I expect he felt a bit stressed at having to sort out time off work and didn't think about what he was saying. Did eldest DS say anything about it to you? How old is he?

yes the eldest told me what dad had said. he is 9. He seemed a little distracted today so I think it sunk in.

His attitude just seems off. I was originally told I could go if I sort out childcare. it is the same every year. yet my colleagues partner's automatically book day off.
