 OK so DH is going to a hockey game tonight. He left for work this morning at 7am. He took his clothes to his friends house so that he could go straight from his friend to the game. He usually comes home around noon to eat lunch. Today he stayed at work so that he could leave work early. His lunch is only a half hour. He took a 15 minute lunch break which takes 15 minutes off of his work day.

He is suppose to get off work at 5:30 but today he is leaving at 4. So that is 45 minutes of pay down the drain.  He is leaving at 4 so that he could go to his friends house change then go tailgate till the game starts at 7:30. By the time the game is over he should be home around 11:30.  So basically he will be gone from 7am-1130pm.  He has not seen either one of the kids today and will not.

I asked him if I can have some money to go shopping by myself Friday morning. He said no because he does not want to wake up at 430am in case the kids wake up. HELLO they never ever wake up that early. I then asked him if I could have some money to go get a pedicure which is 35 dollars. He told me NO because we don't have that kind of money to spend right now....

OK so he got the tickets for free. He has to pay for parking, gas in our explorer since our little car is getting fixed, beer for tailgating, dinner since he is not coming home, and snacks and beer at the game.

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN I CANT GET MY TOES DONE BECAUSE OF MONEY BUT YOU CAN DO ALL THAT??

So right now I am completely ignoring him. I think he is being really inconsiderate of my feelings. He gets a whole day break away from being a husband and parent and I don't (not that I don't love being a mom or wife but sometimes I would like to take a break and be me).....

Am I wrong for being upset at him or am I just being a jealous B**ch

 

EDIT: OK I am jealous to an extent that he gets to go out and be Brandon not husband or daddy or worker, when I dont have a chance to get out and be Kasie not mommy not wife not anything at all. 

I do not always "ask" for money. I asked for money this time in hope of him saying sure and go get your hair done too...something along that line.

I posted to see what other women thought about this...so next paycheck i will be going out to get stuff i want. i will not "ask" him for mommy or if he can watch the kids.

I think you are right.  If he cann afford to go do all that, (which will be expensive) the he should have takenn the time out to think hey, Im sure my wife would like a day to herself, how about I put money aside for that.

Nope you are not wrong I would be pissed to, but then again I dont ask for money what is mine is his and what is his is mine, I would never ask permission to do something I would just tell him what I am doing and go, he gets to spend money and have fun you should to

Yes you absolutley should be mad.  How selfish of him.  Maybe next week, payday, whatever you demand that its your turn to spend the money on yourself.

Hell, I'd be upset too! Is he one of those types that he believes it's "his" money so he can spend it how he wants to? Tell him to take into consideration that you're working full time too being a mom and that you DON'T get paid for it and you need some time off.

I think since he is spending them money on him self now, you should be able to have some money next pay check and do something for your self. I understand him saying you dont have money since he is doing his thing but next paycheck you should be able to do your thing

If the money isn't there, then he shouldn't be going to the game.  And if it is, you should be able to do something for yourself, too!!!

if there is money for him to have fun,  there should be money for you to have fun too... why dont you just get the money yourself out of the account?

I think he's wrong & you are right...if my hubby goes to a game or something after work & i need or want to do something, he wont say no, because he knows that is f***ed up. For example i am going shopping friday & sat., early & he didn't say a freaking word about him being home with the kids....Just try to talk to him & explain it to him how you feel....

R.I.P. Daddy...miss you 9/7/09
