to think Friday is the best night to have as your "own"?

[JeremiahOfCuntington]

DP plays football and then goes to the pub with his mates every Friday evening (5pm-11pm). This means that every Friday evening I am home with the kids.

This is basically fine, and there are other evenings I can go out if I want to. But AIBU to be a bit fucked off sometimes that every week he "gets" Fridays? Because that's so often the night when social things happen.

I know I should be discussing this with him rather than venting on the internet, but today I feel like venting on internet instead. In fact I feel better already. Thank you, MN.

That would be the sensible thing Derek - you're right. Maybe I'll do that. I still resent Fridays though

Stop resentig them and pay for childcare and go out on a Friday yourself!

I thought you were going to say that Friday night was the best night because you could be on your own! Personally I would LOVE DH to push off and leave me with a bottle of wine and my book. Unfortunately he seems to like my company and I can't get rid of him.

Well I certsinly think if there's something you want to do one Friday you need to say that seeing as he's been out the last x number of Fridays you will be going out this time. He would be unreasonable if he said no. I can under stand the football being more of a commitment but that will finish earlier than 11pm, he doesn't need to go to the pub every week, especially if you want to go out.

I hear you OP.

My ex and I split weekends but I have them every Friday while he goes out every single week after work. And then picks them up later than planned on the Sat as he's hungover . It pisses me off sometimes.

Ah you're all brilliant. Thank you

My resentment is melting away into a sense of "if you don't like it, do something about it" already. And in fact most of the time I do quite like my Fridays alone in the kitchen drinking wine and dancing extravagantly while doing the washing up (things do get broken....).

I love a solo Friday night!
Wine (or beer), chocolate, whatever I want to watch/play on the PS4.

It's brilliant!

That sounds a bit shit, Food. The hangover bit would piss me off too.

You are just as entitled to Fridays! Make plans every alternate friday, it's only fair...
