[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've only read the first page but I don't think your husband is being an unreasonable brat. He's having a weekend where it's all about him. He has helped with some things you have asked him to do. He is telling you IN ADVANCE that he wants to be off for childcare purposes for the whole weekend and he also don't want to be running around doing things - he wants to be enjoying himself. He hasn't asked for a month, or even an entire week. He wants one weekend to be able to enjoy his friends and family and be celebrated without having to worry about taking a phone call from the caterer. That seems very reasonable to me, and good for him for telling you what he wants instead of expecting you to read his mind and then being mad at you.

It's weird to me that you're turning this whole thing into something about YOU. Let him thank you after the wonderful weekend. Why are you insisting that he only have as much fun as you are having? I really don't get your thinking at all. If I were throwing a party FOR MY HUSBAND (not with my husband, not for our friends, but actually for him), I would be fine doing everything for it so he could enjoy himself. Isn't that the point?!?[/quote]

DP. You should have read more. The problem is not that he doesn't want to be on call for anything, but that he's micromanaging how she does things. She wants to hire help for childcare. He balks at it.

PP here. I've read the whole thing now.

My position doesn't change because based on all of OP's posts, I don't think she accurately relayed the way her husband responded when she said she wanted help. So yeah, still team DH.[/quote]
