To think DH should stay at home for the evening?!

[Charbead49]

We have a 3 month old and a two year old and no family near by. We are heading for a day out with friends to the theatre and then there is a dinner at 7. I have said no to dinner (a mix of baby too small and boobs will be killing). AIBU to be annoyed that DH said yes to dinner??

I mean we are in this together! I am heading home to do bedtime with the sitter.

FFS, right?!

7pm would definitely be too late for the toddler.

Did you not discuss the plans first?

Are the kids with you or sitter? When are you going out? Could you not express or pump and dump?

If you're out all day I don't see what difference one extra hour will make. Can't you express?

Why two threads?

Theatre with toddler and a baby?

No to the lot of it.

I don't see why he can't go out for dinner. You don't want to and that's fine. Dismiss sitter early and have quiet eve with children. Put them to bed once sitter has gone.

Is the sitter able to do bedtime? I don't know really, in a way it seems silly for you both to miss out, but I'm guessing he wouldn't offer to go home if you really wanted to go- so perhaps it is unreasonable.

All go back to yours and order in a takeout.

If you're leaving the baby for the whole day, then I would have wanted to be home by then. You have help for getting DC to bed. Then go to bed yourself.

I couldn’t leave my daughter when she was that age as she would take a bottle so completely understand that part, your baby is tiny. However I’d have no problem my husband going for dinner - did he say to you ‘mind if I go?’ as that would be courteous. But yeah I wouldn’t mind if he went.
