I know, it is unreasonable of me, it is a one-off event. It is just the culmination of a long, long time of being on my own and having to do everything.
I do sympathise with single parents - I admire anyone who can get on with the children and deal with a break-up - that isn't really my point: the fact is that I am married, and it is supposed to be a partnership. And last night I felt very fed up with the long hours, lack of company, lack of emotional and physical support (two young children involves a lot of hoicking about!), stress from his job and worry for his well-being, given the work situation. So I did think about whether I ought to ask him to leave the stag do early.
As it was, he offered to come back after the day bit, so we could spend the evening together. But I said no. So not such an old whinge bag, perhaps !
And I'd love to be able to go out more, but our children are very young and we can't leave them with a babysitter other than family, who are too far away or not well enough to pop over so I can go out for an hour.
And as for him being the breadwinner - until we had children, I was the major earner. He has now overtaken where I was, and I work part-time, through choice, really. So I am lucky. But that, again, is the partnership point. I compromised my career for our family, he works hard and I support him. But there are limits, and last night, I reached mine.
But anyway. I shall be mumsnetting, again, tonight. And tomorrow he's on nappy duty!
