DH is too hungover to help out with the kids today. I need to vent!

See if he can pull it together to sit at a party or soccer practice and squeeze in a quick nap before guests.

NO. She does NOT have to wait on him and nurse him on top of caring for the kids all by herself.

I would tell him this is to never ever happen again. Being sloppy is so disgusting and unacceptable to me. You want to go out with an old friend? Fine. But we don't get drunk and sloppy. We don't drink to the point of throwing up. I'd be telling my DH if it happens again we'd be talking about our marriage.

No judgement on the drinking or hangover, but he should have been able to pull it together by the evening. If I were your friends, I'd be annoyed.

+1 to the bolded. So lame.

Extend your husband some grace and give him a mulligan on this one.

I would.give him a pass and cancel the people coming over. He shouldn't get that drunk again, but hopefully this incident taught him how much he can now handle.

Multiple parties, practices, plus people coming over sounds too over scheduled for one day OP even without the hangover. Cancel the people coming over plans.

Do you have young kids? My Saturday is 3 swim classes, doggy training class and a dinner party tonight.

You don’t have to live that way.

She already did cancel on her friends, which I think is lousy. If I had friends who did cancelled for that reason, I’d be leery of making plans with them in the future.

Hopefully your husband learned the new limits of his tolerance

You are WAY overscheduled so you could learn something from
this as well. If you’re pissed that he can’t do all of this, you may want to plan things that one parent can pull off solo.

So rude.

I’ve done this once and so has my DH in our 10 years of parenting. Both those times taught us to plan our nights out with friends carefully!!

So as a 1 time thing I’d bust my butt to cover as long as he did the best he could. Granted, my DH would rally after a few hours of extra sleep.

But we also both never let it happen again. If we are going out with a rare friend we either plan some extra down time the next day OR keep it under control and act like a grown up.

So yeah. It’s ok to be annoyed. It’s also ok to let this slide. It is NOT okay for it to become a habit.

Would make him cancel since he's the reason why you can't have them over

I get your frustration, but given you said he rarely drinks, I would forgive him. Or perhaps tell him he is in charge of the kids for a full weekend day and you go do something fun.

He'd have grace but he'd still be helping me with some of these events. Just the way it is.
