Sooo pissed off - mostly at myself. OH got invited to old work colleagues wedding (don't think that much of the bloke) months ago and I was convinced he would be working away or would go on his own so wasn't bothered. Found out Sunday that wedding is sit down affair and that OH replied that we were both going. Thought great no
Babysitter defo can't go (no kids allowed) then the mother in law calls to say she's flying over (from Ireland) to stay for a few days and would LOVE to babysit. Have been at work last 3 days - no time to get outfit/hair coloured. Period due tomorrow (tmi) 3 big hormonal zits that even 2 people at work said 'ooh they look sore' top it all of after doing 12 hour shift, picking up the child and trying to wolf dinner down to make 60 mile round trip to airport to pick up HIS MOTHER from
Airport arrive home to empty house as OH is getting pissed in the pub. At this point I would rather dig my eye out with a rusty spoon than go
to a wedding!!! Ghgaaaahhhh!!!

How come you ended up fetching his mum while he's at the pub?!

Good job it's you and not me, I'd have to go in combats

Can't you just say 'DH, I do not want to go - let's go somewhere else and shag - we have a babysitter now'

Yup, agree with Lattelover.

When is the wedding? Sorry if you've already said.

Don't go! Honestly, I've only just started being able to say....no thanks! I don't want to...without tying myself in knots. It's great

Could he take your MIL instead?

Haha I would gladly do ALL of the above than go!! I was doing the pickup as I had the car to go to work, actually don't mind that - it was just the fact that i thought he would be home to welcome his mother that is doing a huge favour (albeit one I don't want but a favour none the less) with a cuppa and a hug. No he pissed off to the pub - I never get the luxury of the 'fuck it I'm going to the pub after work!' As I do the childminder pick up/food shopping/dinner cooking bit after work (coz I'm fucking awesome! Haha) can't bag out of it now as it's a sit down dinner feel it's a bit out of order not to turn up
(Waste of a meal etc...) wedding is tomorrow and I'm sure it will be fine but I would rather have a day to myself to wallow in my own filth, bloated, spotty and it elasticated trousers. I s'pose I could still do that and go to the wedding - might stop anyone else inviting me any where!

You are stuck going now so try and turn it around and have fun.

He accepted for you and has just been for a long pub session so can drive and you can enjoy all the wedding bubbly etc.

I was feeling tired, in pain (bad back), emotional (smallish baby) had forgotten my make up, didn't love my outfit much and so didn't feel up for my sisters birthday party last weekend. Pulled myself together. Borrowed some make up from my mum (at theirs so parents could babysit) and ended up having a great time.

If you have to go, embrace it and have fun.

Your right, I know your right but he's snoring next to me and I want to stick my fingers up his nose!!!!

Well done for turning it around, let's hope I can trowel on the slap and get myself together

louisa You're funny. They need you there to provide the comedy. Go and have a great time.
Still laughing at the fingers up the nose!

I would go and enjoy the child free time, even if you don't like the groom.

However your Dh was out of order re going to the pub when mil arriving. I would make this clear to him.

Yab a bit u for not saying earlier that you didn't want to go.

Also a beef I have with Dh is that he often expects me to organise the babysitting so at least you just basically have to turn up now airport run is done.

I guess he must really want you to go with him from your op which is at least reassuring!

How was it?
