We decided yesterday that DH would work today so that he could catch up on his backlog. Tomorrow we were to have a family outing to a open day at a mine, with biiig diggers and bouncy castles, so basically something for the DCs.
This morning, hadn't even really opened my eyes, DH said, Ok, change of plans. He wanted to go to a classic car race today. Tomorrow the mine, as planned.
By the time I came downstairs for breakfast, he already had his shoes on and was ready to go. I huffed a bit and he asked if I wanted to go with him (have done this before, there is a Centerparcs not far away and I have taken the DCs there for the day) And he would work tomorrow.
I asked what about the mine tomorrow. He said, just take them to the viewing point to see the diggers, they are not going to notice that they are missing all the kids attraction. There is no way I am doing that, DS might not notice, but DD certainly would, we have talked about it.
The problem is, he hasn't got home before 8pm this past week and he has loads of work to catch up on. If he doesn't work today, then he will be grumpy all next week because he is still behind.
We are getting visitors next weekend so he can't put it off till then. This would mean him being chained to his desk every day this week till late.
When I said this to him he grumped a bit then agreed not to go. He was looking really pissed off though, and now I am sitting here feeling guilty that I spoilt his fun.
Well done if you are still reading! What is the MN verdict, AIBU?
