Am I overreacting?

DC has suspected ASD (assessment soon) and additional learning needs, 1st high school parents evening next week, DH asked 2 times to come to parents evening, said yes won't do his hobby, asked again today to make sure and he shouted he can't go as he wants to go away for hobby that weekend, huge backstory of hobbies coming first and me and DC last, so am unreasonable to say parents evening is important and he should come or just go myself. He doesn't usually involve himself if appointments for dc, I do them all, thanks.

You are not overreacting, he’s putting his own selfish needs before his child.

What’s his hobby If you don’t mind me asking?

Tell him that you can’t attend as you are doing XY,Z so he has to go and see how HE reacts

Thanks, it's a volunteering thing (any more may out me) if I said that he still wouldn't go, if I went out he would just go out and leave younger dc alone with older teen DC.

What are you getting out of this relationship?

Why are you and he together now really?.

He continues to put his own self first and volunteering as he does also serves to get away from you all at home.

Hi, I got the date wrong it is the day before hobby weekend so he is coming. Still doesn't excuse they way he is so time for yet another talk, or final talk depending which way it goes. Your right though all I do is look after the DC while he lives his life for himself and we live our lives.

I really hope he doesn’t cancel on you.

Away from that issue it really does sound like you need to sit him down and have a serious chat with him about putting DC first...
