"so you think it is totally acceptable to take three days off of work (unpaid), and expect me to take care of our two month old baby, ss13, and my three kids (which is totally NOT the issue, but I throw it in for effect) so you can go ride your motorcycle around in circles with your friends for 5 days? ... Just let me know because I'd be happy to go hang out for 5 days - alone - with MY friends that are 13 years younger than me".

DH said , "just tell me not to go and I won't go".

I tell him I won't tell him what to do but his decision will affect the future of how I dedicate my time and how I regard him in relation to our family.

He tucked his tail and said, "well when you put it like that, I sound like an A-hole".

Yes honey. You sound like an A-hole. And yes. You bet your ass that you aren't going on a 5 day motorcycle rally and leaving me home with the baBy and your son.

Right!? And the fact that he even thought for two seconds about leaving his wife home with a newborn, much less with all the other kids including one that isn't hers. I am seriously shaking my head here.

Right?!!

I'm thinking, are you even going to ask me to watch your son?!

Luckily, I'm thinking the trip is no longer an issue.

Yep. Girls Trip with my much younger friends (since they're the ones without families). He pretends like it would be fine for me to go but he has a meltdown / broken heart if I evenention going somewhere without him.
