[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kind of agree with him - like, if the single mom posted on DCUM, I bet [b]a lot of people would judge her harshly for leaving her kids during the school week[/b], and also consider work trips different. But I'd never say that to the woman or anyone who would repeat it to her. Your husband was only saying it to you though, which isn't that bad, since you're his spouse, he's expressing his private thought, which he should feel comfortable doing. What he thinks isn't terribly sympathetic but I imagine a lot of people would feel that way. If I were the mom in that case, I wouldn't leave my kids for that. His perspective could be centering the kids vs the mom, or it could be misogyny. I don't know him and you do, so you know what his general attitudes are like.[/quote]

And those people would be AHs. See how easy that is?

I have two middle schoolers and leaving them in the middle of the week would be absolutely no big deal. Also, their dad died quite a while ago, and while I'm sure they are nowhere near "recovered" (my dad died five years ago and I'm not over it yet), that doesn't mean that it wouldn't be ok for their mom to take a break and get away for a few days. During the school week is even easier, in my opinion, because she isn't missing as much time with them as she would over a weekend. If you'd judge this mom, even if you wouldn't say it out loud, then you are also an AH, if you're curious. [/quote]
