[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d never ask for a weekly standing date with friends for Friday. Maybe twice a month or join when I can. Neither would my partner. Maybe a Wednesday, but not end of the week when we are all run down from pandemic pressure. [/quote]

Agree

There seems to be significant degree of self centeredness and control going in from the DH.  Giving a kid a screen at 7 or 8 instead of tucking them in and lights out is BS. Kid is a own here.

[b]He won’t even put the kid to bed to let his wife talk to a friend caring for a hospitalize Covid family member? [/b]

All to have another call within his old fraternity brothers? I can’t imagine any adult with you children being able to commit to a non urgent call before 8pm. [/quote]

But it’s obvious it was more important for OP to see DH give up his weekly Zoom call for one night and put the difficult son to bed at the normal time than the actual call with the sick friend.  Otherwise she would have prioritized staying on the call with her friend over yelling at husband to get off his zoom call and getting upset about son having additional electronics time in their room.  Maybe it’s because I don’t have this kinda energy for perfect parenting but if I have a crisis call and I need the kids to be quiet and distracted with electronics or even a later bedtime, I can live with that one day out of 365.  Even if my DH is on deck, the kids argue, sometimes aren’t listening etc, and I have to block that out and focus on what a I am trying to get done.[/quote]

She didn't want him to give it up, he just needed to put a kid down too. He prioritized his call over good parenting. [/quote]
