Complete Bummer

To make a long story short, I have a chance to get 2 Nascar tickets to the race in our state in November. I've never been and would love to go. I'm thinking a chance to get away for the weekend with the hubs...we never had a honeymoon or have been away together. But of course, he tells me we need to find a way to get another ticket because SD14 will "throw a fit" if she doesn't get to go. Mind you Sd14 does not like racing or Nascar and can not stay entertained or stay still for more than 30 minutes. Taking her would be a total distraction and honestly if she is going I really don't want to go. It would be basically like taking a 6 year old. It isn't worth the hassle and aggravation. I wouldn't mind at all if she was fun and pleasant to be around and acted like a normal 14 year old.
Maybe I'm being a bitch but I don't think that one outing just the two of us is asking too much.

I am in a the lead at a contest at work and the prize is the tickets...ends at the end of the month. I did not tell him I only wanted it to be the two of us but that is implied by "2" tickets but maybe I should tell him. Maybe there is a part of me that hopes he would "want" it to just be the two of us but no such luck.

I agree with Disneyfan! If you will the tickets and he won't go without SD make it a girls weekend! You deserve alone time with you DH. You are not being a bitch.

He will always want his kid to go to stuff like this unless you put it to him the following way....

"DH, I have a chance to win two tickets to nascar!! If I win them, we should use that as a adult get away to spend some quality time as husband and wife."

I am going to tell him that if it isn't going to be the two of us, I'll go with one of my friends from back home (close to were race is)and he and SD14 can go and do something that she really wants to do.

LOL..wait a minute girl. That is very passive aggressive.

Just tell him that you really wanted it to just be you two adults since you have not taken an adult vacation ever. Then if he still wants SD to go, you can tell him what you posted above.

LOL...too funny ladies! Don't think that he even thinks that getting another ticket means someone will be sitting alone. Pretty sure we all know who that would be Sad
