Ok you nasty people, let me rephrase my question!?

My husband and I have been planning a family vacation for weeks. It is a 3 hour drive and today, he was called into work. HE HAD A CHOICE, and he did not have to go in. He will be working on the night shift. He has been up all night last night, all day today, all day tomorrow. I do not mind driving, but he does not like my driving and there for is another issue. We both work and make comfortable money, so that is not an issue. I am upset that he fills that he can blow off the family outing like it was nothing. This is soemthing that his kids have been looking forward to for weeks now. He is already grumpy because he has had no sleep. How do you think that he will act tomorrow? He is bi-polar on a good day! I don't mind honest answers on here, but some of you are just plain nasty!

Apparently, this family outing is not very important to him. If it was, he wouldn't go in to work. I am upset that he is upsetting the kids.....

I think since the vacation was already planned and he didn't have to go into work he should have stayed home to prepare for the trip. It's not fair to blow off the family and kids .. if you are not in a bad financial situation then he should rethink his priorities. And later if he is tired and grouchy tell him you don't want to hear it because he made his choice someone didn't make it for him.

Sorry, been there. But men are different from woman. They feel work is a priority, to them providing for family is everything. Go try and make the best of it, don't toss it away. Be kind to him. It will make him think. And later talk to him about it. What ever you do don't ever talk badly about him to the kids. Let them think he always has there best interest at heart. Read the proper care of feeding of husbands. It really has help me. My husband is a hard worker, and sometimes its hard on me.
