Banned from parents night

[mumontherun14]

Is this me overreacting or my DH being a dick? Tonight is my sons sports teams parents night. He plays for a professional team. It's one of the few nights in the year they get some feedback from their coaches and then get asked to sign on for another year. I thought we could have gone along as a family and then had dinner afterwards as a small celebration for DS.

My DH has come home from work said that it's only the dads & sons that go and it's too much all of us going. My son then chipped in and agreed but earlier he was asking us if we were coming so I think he has been swayed now by DH who pretty much put his foot down and said we weren't to come. My DH takes DS 3 times a week to training but I do go to most of the games and have taken DS to training when DH working. It is their thing that they do together but I see plenty of families going together to these things and now I feel a bit excluded for something that is really important to my DS.

My DD not bothered she is already in her pj's.

I've just called DH an arrogant controlling prick in a text -AIBU?

the double standards adopted by some posters on MN that many of us object to.

Its only double standards if exactly the same people are saying its abusive to say cunt but not abusive to say prick

I think you were being unreasonable to send that text

But he has been very unreasonable to say that you Couldn't go along as well

I agree it's a special night and you should there if you want to be, is this his first signing?
My ds had his parents night/resigning night last week and I won't have missed it.

It's one of the few nights in the year they get some feedback from their coaches

Then he needs to find some different coaches!

missing the point completely...

Using someone else's bank card (even to the same account) is wrong, and if the bank knew you shared your PIN with someone else, they would not pay out any refund if your card ever gets stolen.

My DCs have a similar awards evening- very much a family thing for most people but my DH said due to the number of meals and him not wanting to spend the money we should only do 1 adult and 1 child. So I went to all of the meals

YANBU! How dare he say you aren't allowed to go, you are DS's mother ffs, if you want to go to a parents evening, you can bloody well go. I'd have told him he doesn't tell me what to do and gone right ahead and gone. I also would hide my bank card if he just takes it and I wouldn't be sorting his mother's birthday for him. Is he usually in control while you sort everything?

Bit late to the party but in our house i take ds to all his footy training and generally most matches. On presentation night we both go, i wouldn't dream of suggesting dh didn't go.... its not a bloody competition between parents

My kids used to go to football and whole families went to their end of year party. Kids had disco after presentations, food laid on, drinks for parents etc. Dont see the big deal about you going at all.

Your DH is a chauvinist and he's trying to turn your DS into one too.
I hope you went and will deal with your DH appropriately in the future. What a twat!
