  • if you feel upset then you have every right to be...you dont have to feel on way or the other. I can see why this would be upsetting..if he could go and didnt.

  • Everyone has a right to their feelings, everyone.  Yes sometimes we overreact but it's how we deal w/it after that as well.  But no matter what we have a right to our feelings.

    Anyway, I would be uspset depending on the reason I think.  But I know my husband so I know it would be out of character for him to not go if he could.

    Some men don't feel they should or they aren't comfortable going.  What was his reason?  Is this not normal for him?

  • He told me he would be there. If he told me he wasn't going to be there then I would have been prepared. I was waiting for him. My daughter got home from the babysitter excited that mommy and daddy saw her classroom. And he has no reason. And he doesn't even care that he didn't go. He said o I got home at so and so time, took a shower and was tired so i didnt go. No: sorry, or how did it go, or what did i miss.

  • Then find out what his problem is.  I get being tired but not asking anything and letting down his dd I would be upset over.  Maybe he had an extra hard day at work I don't know.  But I'm a firm believer in communication so I'd do everything I could to find out what the hell his problem is!

  • that sounds like a normal person..he was tired and didn't feel like going..just like it is your right to feel the way youwant, it is his choice also.  Maybe he didn't WANT to go hang out with a bunch of stupid soccer moms and teachers...maybe he KNOWS what classrooms look like- its really not a big deal.
