Why are you asking permission? You're an adult tell him you ARE allowed down time top! Frankly a man with kids shouldn't be fucking off half the weekend anyway!! If anything at this point if I were you I'd be starting off you have every Sunday to sod off!
are you afraid of him? Do you have reason to be?
Kids will be bored? It seriously won't kill them!
Stop putting yourself bottom of priority list
Tell him that if he continues to be a controlling arsehole then he'll have to give up every other weekend to look after them when you divorce him
This argument is nonsense as men like this don't step up following a split they tend to vanish!
Sulking now. It’s easier not to go.
Oh no, of course he doesn’t do any housework or childcare normally. Never has
Serious question - why the hell are you with him?? He is fuck all use as a husband or father
Sulking/silent treatment is abusive and controlling
To paraphrase another very wise and insightful poster - you're teaching your kids about relationships too. That women are responsible for all the household and childcare jobs and aren't "allowed" any fun and that men can be as lazy as they like, not give a shit about their kids and fuck off when they choose
Doesn't sound like it would e much different
Easier if anything
