He IS being unreasonable - but what can I do

[Beccarollover]

Ok....I posted this on my other thread but dont think it will be seen.

DS is having his first birthday party on Saturday - he was 1 yesterday.

DP didnt see much of him yesterday as he was out at football training until after bedtime - he wont be coming to the party on Saturday because he has a football match (see the theme here...?)

I think this is not on...especially considering how often he is playing/training/watching football - your 1st sons 1st birthday party is surely good enough reason to miss a game?

I said to him "Oh but you will miss his face when he sees his cake and opens his presents" he retorted "video it and I will watch it when I get back"

He sees it as my fault for organising it for a day he is playing football!

I couldnt imagine not being present at his first party (or any other for that matter) and find it very sad and a bit depressing that DP is quite happy to opt out.

To top it off - he has invited his friends with kids that I dont know too well and he wont be there!

He will be coming in at about 5-6pm - party starts at 2pm so a few adults will still be there but the actual "party" will be over

What do you think?

he seems to think its a good idea flossam

on similar subject to org thread
at my ds first birthday last year we went to abrewers fayre kids pub place
i spent £50 on adult food for the table and he didnt buy any of the kids meals (ilater found out) i was livid then too the cheapskate

earlygirl, I think men are dim, frankly. Dh was quite happily going to leave the water in the paddling pool for four whole days on the grounds that he'd only have to fill it up again, FFS. When I pointed out that he wouldn't get in a bath that had been left for four days (plus ds is 1 and wears a nappy in the paddling pool, can you imagine what the bacteria would be like after four days) he sulked. And suggested I was making a fuss about nothing.

Becca I'm pleased for you. Hope you had a great day.
