Irrationally Irritated
Chris is going to 3 Phish shows the last week/weekend of October. I cant go because out of three shows, I can only make it to one of them. The first show is on Halloween which is obviously out, and one is Saturday night and Chase has a football game at 1pm an hour south of us. Even if it gets over at 2:30 I couldnt get to the venue until 5:30-6pmish which is seriously pushing it. There are also already 4 people in this hotel room they rented.
I think Im just irritated because 1. Chris never even asked if I was ok with being left out of this. 2. He keeps talking about it after I have specificlly asked him to simmer down because Im overly jealous that I dont get to go. 3. He isnt sucking it up and missing the concert to do the parenting thing with me. 4. I know that he will be spending money from our joint account on this venture.
Now, how do I come right out and say, "Look bub, Im spending the same amount of whatever you use from our joint account on something I want since Im stuck home all weekend and you get to go have a great time" without sounding like the bitter bitch that I am?

Well we talked at the beginning of our TTC journey that we would continue on with life as normal and if I should get pregnant that I would give up my tickets or adventures we already had planned ahead of time. (this was my choice, not a demand of DH, but I wouldnt want to be at a concert like that pregnant anyway) But that DH would still get to go. I would still get to do something fun while he was away, but obviously someting safe for the pregnancy.
Im trying to see this as that kind of situation. It was something we had already planned, but Chase's schedule got in the way. What I would do for one child, I would do for the other. Right?
We are going on a ladies weekend shopping for Christmas in Lancaster the following weekend. Which I am very excited about. It will probobly be SIL and my mom and I, which is cool. Not as fun as a drunken weekend at the shore, but what are you gonna do?
