Am I being unreasonable? Always good to have an AIBU thread going!

DS is 18 weeks old.

In the last 18 weeks we have had our first wedding anniversary, our original anniversary, my birthday, mothers day, fathers day, and we skipped valentines day beforehand too because I was too lumpy to appreciate it.

So, we promised ourselves a really nice meal out with some friends to do a sort of big celebration.

It is one of our friend's birthdays so it has turned more into his birthday do than our meal, but I am still going out so I'm not too bothered.

The plan was to drop off children, go for meal, then pick up DS on the way back, and leave DD with my mum.

DH came home last night wanting to know if we could pick DS up, and then him go back to one of the friend's houses because they are all planning on playing on the xbox!

I don't want him to - I want to come home together, not be left alone while he buggers off out again. I feel like they are all going off to have the real fun once they've gotten rid of the mum who doesn't play games very well (they are all single and childless).

If I say no, come home, I can see him being sulky which will probably ruin the evening. If I say yes, then I will be miserable, again ruining the evening. I am teetering on option 3 which is inviting them back here once we have got DS, but I feel like this night was meant to be about us after the pregnancy - celebrating everything we've missed, and the birth of our son.

So, the lifelong question... Am I being unreasonable?

Atm feeling dull, frumpy and unloved... why doesn't he just want to be with me??? (He plays games with them all once a week anyway).

Good night.... I did have to leave halfway through the meal though because DS wouldn't take his bottle, had cried solidly for an hour, and my mum couldn't settle him Poor little man was exhausted by the time I got to him.

Met up with them at our place after the meal though (as you can tell by the time of this!! )

Flame, so glad you had a good night. A shame about ds, however it clearly didn't ruin things for you

So the next one is Septmeber ish you said? Should be plenty of time for establishing sleep patterns etc so next time ds will be perfect - and it will be dd who kicks up

Explain to him that you have been planning this for some time now and would it be possible for hin to have 1 night with you instead of his mates and the xbox!?!?!?

DD woke my mum at 4.50am and refused to go back to sleep I think she's going off her grandchildren
