anniversary mini-vent
It's our anniversary and there's a big dinner outing planned for tonight....for H and his CEO. It's not work-related, but instead hobby-related, and he says he couldn't decline or mention it was his anniversary because "how often do you get invited to a dinner by your CEO?"
We stopped anniversary gift-giving for budget reasons, but we ARE getting a sitter tomorrow night for plans still tbd, so I know we are celebrating it, just not the day of. I guess I'm a tiny bit irked because the last two years he had to be out of town for work and this year he is in town, but indirectly work still crept in. Yes, I'm a brat because this is the same work that allows me to stay home PT with DS. Mini-vent over.

That does suck, especially if time for just the two of you to celebrate is limited.
But lately I've been bombarded with how important networking and face time with VIPs is so I kinda get where he's coming from too. Hopefully you'll have plenty of QT tomorrow.

That is a bummer- especially since you weren't together the last 2 years. If the CEO isn't local then I wouldn't be upset, but if he is local and this is is just a social event then I don't see why your DH couldn't have said that another night works better, he wouldn't have had to give any further reason/excuse.
Also I don't think brat is the right word, as a SAHM I am glad my DH has a job that allows me to SAH, and it comes with sacrifices from both sides, but it doesn't mean you don't have a valid complaint.
I hope you go someplace great tomorrow night!
He is local, but it is a one night thing. It's a dinner hosted by a tech co. that the CEO was allowed a +1 and invited him, since he has an interest in that kind of tech.
And yes, I agree that SAH PT or FT does result in sacrifices on both sides.
You have every right to your feelings, but it sounds great that your DH got this opportunity! I hope you're able to enjoy your time together when it happens!
Getting married on Halloween ensures that we'll always be trick-or-treating with DD on our anniversary, but even if it wasn't for the holiday, I can't imagine being able to drop things and go out on our anniversary every year. Work, life, a kid, a kid's life, her school, her activities, etc., etc. - it seems pretty standard for folks to not go out on their actual anniversary, but rather a weekend close to the day.
Personally this sounds like a special opportunity for him that he should take esp since the CEO could only bring one person.
I think everyone has to make sacrifices no matter if you work FT/PT or SAH PT/FT.

I agree that regardless of business or personal, this is a special opportunity.
I guess I am not sentimental at all, but it wouldn't bother me at all to have to change plans for an anniversary dinner. The industry DH works in has many networking events, that are really crucial for him to attend and network. I completely understand, and sometimes push him to go when he would much rather come home!
You can change the date of your anniversary dinner and make it just as special. No matter what the actual date, you can still spend an evening together celebrating your marraige!
