DP is annoyed with me (various reasons lots to do with behaviour issues with children grinding us down - and we are in process of accessing services - CAHMS for DS - various GPs putting oar in and I'm getting blamed in the fallout - also issues with consistency of our approach to the kids have meant its not lovely bed of roses around here).

I've recently started working again and one of the groups of people I'm working with is having a drinks meet up tonight. It would be fun as well as v useful for me to go.

As before when I've been involved in things - worky or volunteering or both ( and gosh, sometimes meeting up with friends), going out to evening meetings is a big flashpoint and so difficult to arrange - for me. When he has a meeting or social he doesn't 'warn' me. Its 'work' so therefore trumps all else.

Surprise surprise, tonight he has a lot of work to do, and it must be done tonight. Oh and that means coming in late - and no estimate available as to how 'late'.

I'm home now and if he doesn't come home in good time I could still go, but of course I won't want to by then....

He says that if I need to go out I should 'book a babysitter', but that's mental - what if he then comes home half an hour after I've left? I just don't see that as workable.

This has happened so many times....

Book the babysitter and leave him to it.
Just book the babysitter and GO.

I second that, he knows u wont go if he comes homes late so he's doing just that. Book the sitter, get your glad-rags on and go!
