AIBU to think my husband should take the day off

I agreed to help out DH today by looking after DSS, 7 whilst he was working.

However, I made it clear that I had quite a bit on today that I'd have to drag DSS along to!

DSS says this morning that he feels unwell and said he wanted his Dad. Told DH and said he should probably come home to look after DSS as he wouldn't want to come out with me feeling poorly.

DH huffs about this saying can I not just cancel my plans as they aren't work (have an appointment and activity with our joint DC).

He did come home but he's made me feel guilty for not cancelling my own plans.

AIBU to think it was right that he should come home when his son is unwell and asking for him when he knows I needed to go out today. Surely as a parent you have to accept that sometimes you may be in the position to have to do this?

I would never dream of making my step-daughter feel that way

Considering he wanted his Dad, I'm sure he was pretty happy that she did.
