DH has v. stressful job- out at 5.30 in morning and not home till 8.30ish. Comes in throws himself on the sofa, eats tea watches tv etc. I am lucky if he even acknowledges my existence.

I have been enjoying a tap class for about three years and only managed to go 4 times last term. Since the new term I have not been able to go once as he has either been away or too late home from work or out with clients.

I now find out that he has a client weekend in Switzerland on the same weekend I was supposed to be going away with my sis and some friends to her apartment in France for a skiing weekend.

I know it's for work but he gets to go away and spend time in top hotels and eat in fancy restaurants all the time and the one weekend I need him to be here(the only one- I have never been away like this before) and I can't go. I just get stuck with all the taxiing the dds around, homework, housework, cooking, shoppingetc. not to mention having quite a busy part time teaching job.

I have no one to look after the dds (my mum is very ill so I can't ask parents) and I haven't asked mil as I know she would not want to commit herself for 4 days.

He's never here and I sit here night after night on my own. Feel like a one parent family.
The ONE thing I really wanted to do and I can't
Sorry for the rant know there isn't a solution to this BUT IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!!!

Thankyou for listening.

Oh for a nice small company like the one you describe clumsy.
DH works for a large international American Bank- need I say more!
