Do this instead of festering in passive-aggressive resentment [/quote]

I have 3 kids including a big age gap so that we were still dealing with a baby/toddler while friends of ours had older kids. There were a few times when the last was a baby that my DH was able to go to a wedding or fun trip/event that I couldn’t make. Sure I had a fleeting moment of wow wish I could have been there.

So once I weaned and felt ready to go do my own thing again, I planned girls’ trips and solo things for myself. Also while my DH was out of town, I hired sitters so I could get a break and wasn’t resentful from 24/7 work and parenting. I still deserved down time even while he was out of town.

The only real issue here is if OP’s DH was either blowing the family’s travel budget on a friend’s birthday so that they couldn’t do anything as a family that year or if her DH refuses to watch the kids so that she can go away and do something fun too.[/quote]
