We had a big superbowl party to go to at my father-in-law's house & the whole family is going to be there & extended family (it's going to be huge). We'll, my little girl came down with a fever on Friday & she still isn't feeling up to par & I'm one of those parents that won't take their kids out when they are sick-- so, needless to say-- we aren't going. But, my husband still is. Is it wrong of me to want him to WANT to stay @ home with us--since we can't go? Or, should I forget about it & just be happy that he still gets to go?

Hi, sorry to hear that that daughter is down with fever. My 2 kids also came down with fever two weeks ago and like you, I prefer to keep them at home when they are not well. I can understand how you feel but if your hubby decides to go,just let him go and enjoy the party. No point having another grouchy person in the house.

I know it, it's terrible when the kids are sick. Your right, if he did stay he wouldn't be too happy & then we would end up just fighting anyways-- so, this way were both happy & not arguing the whole day!!!

Dont think of that dear, just allow your husband to go to that party, its good if he stays and its not bad too, if he goes to the party. I dont think its a wrong thing going to party when your child is sick.

Thanks for the response! My husband is going to the party--because I don't think I was really upset about him going--I guess I just wanted him to offer to stay @ home & then I would have told him to go to the party--but, he didn't. So, I was upset at the fact that he expected me to stay at home, but there wasn't any way he was going to miss the party. He is going & I'm happy he's going--because if he did stay here-- he would just be upset that he wasn't there. So, it all worked out!!

I can understand being a little upset that he's still going but what good will it be having both parents at home? If you really want him to stay say something to him and explain how you feel.

Thanks. I did want him to stay @ home, but then after I ready all of the dicussions on here, I realized that there really isn't a point for him to have to stay home & want to be some where else. I did explain to him why I felt the way I did & he understood where I was coming from & that helped me in letting him go.

Well I think he should do whatever is best for the both of you and your child. He can watch the Superbowl at home LOL. Men just don't stop and think of womens feelings when it comes to getting joys out of life. It is not that they do not care, I guess, but it is just that they don't think at all like women do in most cases I have seen.

I know. & in all reality when my little girl is sick, she doesn't really want anything to do with her Dad, so it isn't like we NEED him here, I just wanted him to offer to stay & then I wouldn't have cared. But, that's my problem--because it's just a game I'm playing!!

I think I would be upset that he would want to go without you. This is his daughter and he helped make her so he should help take care of her. Also your husband should want to stay with you and enjoy the game with you. I think that he would feel lost going to a big party like that without you and your daughter.

I was upset at first that he would even consider leaving me @ home. But, then again, I realized it was his family & I wasn't going to stay the whole time anyways because of the noise etc. So, I think I just needed him to know that I was upset & why & now I don't really care that he's going.
