[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 368866, member: 1991"] OK, what was husband's alibi? Because at a certain point, unless it was a medical emergency for his mother, he has to juggle his family obligations. And if the situation had been the other way around (you being with your mother while he had the kids but had to get to a vital work meeting) you can bet he would expect you to ring a friend or an alternate babysitter to come take over from him, so he could get to his meeting. If all he was doing at his mother's was chatting over a cup of tea, then you need to really sit down with him and ask him why he feels it is right to not support your work aspirations. Surely your work brings in valuable income? He needs to really think about how he feels about your working, and come clean. To himself as well as to you. He also has to really think about how deep is his commitment to supporting you in practical terms. Because even if he just plain forgot, it's still not good enough. If you don't want this to happen again, you need to work out why it happened this time, and to fix it. Marg [/QUOTE]
