Who’s being selfish here?

[Ginspirational]

I’ve had a full on few days looking after DD as DH worked on the weekend. My mum and sister invited me for afternoon tea on Saturday and originally I asked if he would stay home with DD whilst I went.. all fine. Now my sisters DH is going too (she’s 38 weeks pregnant) and I just mentioned it to DH and he’s suddenly outraged that they are not invited.

I explained I really need a break - I haven’t had any time off in between work/looking after DD and could really just do with an afternoon to eat lunch without a toddler hanging off me / running riot etc.

He thinks that this is now a family affair and they should come.. I’m desperate for a break. Who’s being unreasonable here?

Yes, @Candleabra - think I have to make more of an effort to go out of an evening!

You definitely will!

Seriously though, this is a classic example of you assuming that the quiet lovely things you do for your DH don’t go unnoticed.
You’ve just discovered that they DO go unnoticed, and when there was a chance for him to do something nice he was very vocal about it not being fair. So do assert your boundaries more - and make it clear how much you do for him and the family. And yes, book in a night out with your mates. a
