Your husband and father of your children, should be able to make decisions without his wifes confirmation. [/quote]

Yes, DH and OP should have enough open honest communication between them that they have a full understanding of how they each feel regarding parenting decisions, and they treat child-related decisions as a partnership. 
This thread can go off on a gigantic tangent over what age is appropriate for a babysitter, what kinds of pre-sitting meetings should or should not happen, quality time with ILs, etc., but that isn't really the point.

DH knew that the kids weren't going to be watched by his parents, but by a sitter. He also neglected to mention this detail to his wife. We have two options here:

1. OP is astoundingly obtuse about his wife's feelings, and was being quite clueless to not mention to his wife, or think it needed to be mentioned.
2. OP's DH was absolutely aware that OP wouldn't want the kids to be left with a sitter at ILs house. He deliberately kept this news from wife because he wanted the evening out and didn't want any roadblock.

So, take your pick, but either one suggests the needs for some serious discussion between OP and DH.[/quote]
