Pub aibu?

[wingingit987]

Just want to clarify if I'm being unreasonable.

We've just moved into a nee house which all the rooms need decorating and sorting I work 3 days a week 730- 7 and my oh works nights 5 nights a week it's one in one out in my house. Since moving in we haven't done anything with our toddler on the weekend so i said Sunday morning let's go out and then one of us could get on with decorating.

I'm also 28 weeks pregnant and have nothing sorted for the baby...

He then says oh I was going to the pub on Sunday with my friends. Only for a couple of hours I need some time to myself I haven't stopped.

He's right we haven't stopped but there's way to much to do and why is it that they always come first!

Aibu being pissed off he even suggested going pub when we have so much to do?

Send him with the toddler?! Then get on with house stuff.

That would be good but if you saw this dive of a pub you'd never let your toddler in there 🙈

I'd still let him take the kid to be honest. Will surely make him come home sooner.

If life has taught us anything over the last year it is that it can be too short. The decorating will keep til next weekend, a few hours in the pub with friends for the first time in months is worth its weight in gold.

Ha, I fondly remember my dad being made to take me to the pub with him on Sundays in the 80s while my mum cooked a roast.

I loved it. I got a bottle of vimto and lots of high fives from the pub men.

In this case - although I can see why you'd want to crack on with it all - yes I think you're being a bit unreasonable.

Everything you've described can wait for a while longer.

The pubs have been closed for so long now, it's a big deal that things are opening again. Let him have some enjoyment with his friends.

(And I say that as one of the weirdos who doesn't drink, isn't into pubs and won't be going anywhere near one for some time!)

And I'd come home with a pocket full of 50 pences from the old lads that sat at the bar.

I'm in the camp of YABU I'm afraid.

If the past year hadn't happened id see your point but pubs have only just opened and I couldn't begrudge it.

My husband is leaving the house on Sat morning at 10am and I don't expect him back until late and I have toddler twins..... He is driving, not drinking, but honestly he is going to have a great day!

There are alwssy going to be jobs to do.... Let him have some pints.

He is being unreasonable but making a fuss about two hours in the pub is more trouble than it's worth. Just make sure you also get two hours doing something you like.
