Have you ever been to Mardi Gras? If your DH asked if he could go with some friends would you let him?

LXLX · March 2011

I've never been to New Orleans, no.I don't get the "let him go" thing. If he had a bunch of friends going on a guys trip to NO during Mardi Gras and he could get the time off work and we could afford it in our budget, sure he'd probably go after running it by me to make sure I didn't mind staying home with the dogs. He doesn't need my permission, but he'd discuss it with me out of courtesy.More likely we would plan a trip like that together though.

I went to a local parade after I moved to Pensacola. I've never been to NO for Mardi Gras or otherwise. H wouldn't want to go to Mardi Gras but if he did it wouldn't bother me.

I've never been.

I can't see DH wanting to go to Mardi Gras, but if he did, I wouldn't care. His friends are all married and they're all good guys, so they'd make sure each other didn't get in trouble.

We've been to NOLA but not for Mardi Gras. If he really wanted to go, I'd say sure. But I doubt that would happen because neither of us really liked it there.

I guess I should have said would you be okay with it, not so much let him go.

No, I've never been to Mardi Gras.

I don't get the "let him go" thing either. I'm not his mother. I don't dictate where he can & cannot go. Yes, I'd appreciate if he ran it by me just to discuss the financial aspect of it, but it's not a "You do/dot not have permission" thing. He's an adult. I'd expect the same respect from him.

Mardi Gras isn't exactly DH's thing though, so I'd give him the side-eye if he asked. But hey, if he wanted to go with his buddies & we could afford it, I don't have a problem with it.

I've never been personally, but I think it would be fun! If DH wanted to go, I wouldn't really have a problem with it besides the fact that I wouldn't necessarily be going.

This exactly (minus dogs, sub cats). I'm not his mother. He would definitely discuss it with me but he's a grown adult and I don't expect him to get my permission. I've been to NO once and honestly wasn't impressed. I'm sure Mardi Gras is more exciting but I honestly don't have an urge to go back. If DH wanted to go since he hasn't been I'd go, but there are other places much higher on my list.

Got it. I'd totally be okay with it. He was in NYC for a bachelor party this past weekend. lol

clseale13 · March 2011

No & yes. Like others have said, as long as the financial aspect was discussed I wouldn't care.

summer08bride · March 2011

I've been to NOLA and I wasn't a huge fan. It also was after Katrina and it was still pretty gross. As for Mardi Gras, I wouldn't care if he went.

We used to go to tons of Mardi Gras parties in DC without each other. Not a big deal and we always came home with tons of crazy stories to tell!

Temp103605875001677 · March 2011

I have never been. If he wanted to go with a group of his buddies, he could. We have a mutual agreement about talking to each other before committing to things.

Madisen · March 2011

I haven't been to NOLA at all. DH went to Mardi Gras there with his guy friends years before he met me. I don't see the need for him to do it again so this would probably be a no from me. He did go to Vegas with a guy friend for a long weekend last month and I had no problems with that.

Lanerbell · March 2011

I've been to a bunch of local parades and I have family friends in local Krewes, but I've never been on a NOLA one. If my hypothetical H wanted to go I wouldn care, I would want to go with him! Haha, I love NOLA.

duncanpowers · March 2011

No, and only if he were willing to watch Michael for two days so I could run off and get totally debauched. So far we haven't gotten past two hours. So no.

JackieB0129 · March 2011

I've been to NOLA a lot. I have no wish to go for Mardi Gras. Im old. I do want to take DH there, he's never been.
