To consider doing this evening course

I'm interested in doing an evening course hobby related one evening a week for 10 weeks.
There are two that interest me within a 30 minute drive. The problem is they are both on a Tuesday 7-9 so clash with ds activity.

DH usually brings ds to his activity and I usually put our two dds to bed so if I were to do this course it would mean DH would have to take ds plus our two dds with him meaning the girls would be up an extra hour past bedtime (not an issue as they adapt well) and ds activity is literally drop him off stay if you want and pick up at 8pm.

DH has his own hobbies but is flexible with days/times but I've been meaning to take up something for ages. whilst I'm on maternity as when I go back to work il be on a shift roster so trying to get the same day off each week will be hard.

AIBU to consider this?

If your DDs will cope then I think you should do it.

I think YABU - assuming your DH works. So for 10 weeks you would expect him to get in from work, eat, then take all kids to DS hobby, wait there, then bring them home and get them to bed. Whilst you are not working. Can you imagine the comments if someone posted that as a role reversal? I am TOTALLY for partners doing their bit, but really?
but I've been meaning to take up something for ages Take something up then, something that is a little easier to manage!

Oh giveover @Ijustwanttoretire it's not that bad.

Personally I'd see if you can car share with a friend who goes to your sons activity. Then your DH could take them and someone else could bring them home. Or someone to do alternate weeks with.

@Ijustwanttoretire so I assume when I return to work in January my husband should give up his hobby twice a week and his nights out as it wouldn't be fair the other person to possibly have more than 5 minutes to themselves really would it?

@nokidshere good idea on the car sharing that is something that could work where DH takes the kids down with ds friend who has no younger siblings and ds friends parents collect. That means dds could easily be down in bed by 7:15
