Sons bday conflicts with husbands football- I’m stuck in middle

[Anonymous]

I think you should put your husband and son in charge of the birthday party and just let go of the responsibility. Be free!

I don't either. 13 is a little old for the dad to need to be there for cake cutting. Let him enjoy his homecoming game! You and grandma could even FaceTime with him during the cake cutting if that's what it takes.

No no no no no no. Do not enable your husband's petulance/selfishness. If a woman had an important (to her) event that coincided with her kids birthday, society would be willing to burn her at the stake.

Nonsense. If mom had a planned girls' getaway and dad tried to schedule the party on the same date, I'd be upset on her behalf and tell her to go, too. Have a private family celebration on a different date. This isn't a little kid - it's a teenager. It's all about his friends.

From his perspective it may be all about his friends, but someone has to be there to be responsible should anything go wrong. Why should the burden fall upon OP? Her husband should share the responsibility with her.

Men who care about football past the age of 22 are so unsexy.

There are millions of women who disagree.

You're even more grotesque. Cheering for a bunch of overgrown men running after a little ball, who repeatedly rape and assault women with little to no consequence.

Didn't think so.

Of course his kid's birthday party trumps him sitting around on his ass drinking beer and watching football.

That is what DVRs are for.

This. He can't miss or postpone one effing game?

I very literally could not care less about your opinion. Have a wonderful day!

Did you guys bother to read the thread? He is going out of town to meet friends and attend in person. So, a weekend trip. Would you expect mom to cancel a girls’ weekend to the winery for this birthday party that hasn’t even been planned and will not occur on the kid’s actual birthday?

The title of this thread is all wrong. There is no actual conflict!!!

It is what you signed up for when you ejaculated inside your lady. Don't worry it doesn't last forever. Also, Go listen to "Cat's in the Cradle". Also, get over college. You are the weird old guys in the parking lot now.

You sound like a super treat to be married to. It’s nkt like he wants to stay home and watch the game on TV. It’s an out of town trip that was PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED. Get a life.

Oh look, now you are the creepy old guy on DCUM. Kids often act like it doesn't matter to them but it still does. And you probably want to work on your put downs if "Get a life" is your best work.
