Hi, I'm just wondering if I should be mad about this or not. Or maybe I'm over-reacting....My husband has his son this week (he see's him 1 week a month) Last night, hubby told me his boss and 2 other guys from work asked him out for a few drinks. He told me it would be about 1 1/2 hours. So, I took his 4 yr old to the mall to play. (he had a great time by the way) and returned home at 8:30pm. Hubby calls drunk, they had been there since 7pm and says he is leaving soon. Plus, he tells me that a few of the men brought their wives. So, they are partying it up and I am home watching his son. He didnt get home until 10:30 (very drunk) and couldnt understand why I was a little upset. I didnt yell at him, I simply said, glad you had a good time. But he knew i wasnt really happy..So, today, he thinks I am being grouchy about it and should have no reason to be...
Should I be mad or not?

I would not be happy at all. The child is his priviledge AND responsibility, not yours. I would have serious trouble with his drunkeness too, especially when the child is technically in his custody. I would not be a happy camper at all.

If he was that drunk, does he even remember the what he told you last night about being leaving soon?

Oh, yeah, I'd be mad. Especially since he isn't even acknowledging that he did anything wrong. Maybe it'd be a little different if he was repentant.
Plus, I'd be mad on behalf of his son, who probably really wants to spend time with him. It's hard to imagine how getting drunk with your coworkers and their wives rates higher than quality time with your son, who you see only one week a month.

With the benefit of a half dozen marriages and/or significant others, it is kind of unfair for me to say, but...
Mad would be a waste of my emotional energy.
I would be gone.
