to think dh is being selfish

[medic78]

So ds who is 10 is in the school play. It is a non spesking part but he is still excited. It is a secondary school style play where you have to buy tickets (probably 1 and a half hours long.). Dh has indicated that he doesn't want to go. He went to the Christmas one and thought it was too long and boring.
Aibu to think he should put himself out for the sake of his sons feelings.

YANBU. He is selfish.

If you have to go to hell dp should go with you.

and sports day is coming up in July. It's her first one and I have to be there but I have no holiday left, due to covering childcare in the school holidays... Not sure how I can do it yet...

Is DH going to make it up to him in any way? Not that it makes it any better but is he making any effort to be a parent here?

He's a miserable bastard and childish. Have you explained to him that yes, it WILL be long and boring but that his enjoyment is not the point of the evening? That the point is to be there to support his child?

Does he generally have a poor grasp of what parents do?
