| My 8yr. old son is having his tonsuls and adnoids removed next wk. We've got pre-op Wed. and surgeory on Thurs. His dad was supposed to have taken those days off to watch our 22month old. But two days ago called me from work to tell me he was going on a business trip next week. He is on Salary, so he won't benefit from that aspect and there are several other people that could go in his place but he won't tell them no. He say's he will try and be home by late Wed. night but that still leaves me looking for a sitter for Wed. Not to mention our 8 tr. old is really stressed and I think it would be nice if his dad showed some support...I am really upset with him!! Am I being stupid?I know his job is important to him,but this is the 7th trip he has taken over the past 8 months or so...missing one is not going to hurt him!! The person that's going to be hurt is our son...I know work is important but should it be put before your family? God has always provided for us and I don't think that would change because he took time for his family! AM I being unreasonable? |

| Sure it would be great if all families could just do whatever they wanted. But most of us have to earn a living.He probably feels that by working hard, he is providing for his family. Isn't that better than a dead beat dad, or one that is always home because he is unemployed?While he is on a salary, and he may not financially benefit from taking the trip, you have to look at the bigger picture. Maybe this trip is part of a plan to earn a promotion, to go the extra mile so that one day he will make even more money to provide a better quality of life for you and your kids.It sounds like you are being a little unreasonable. It's not like your son is going to have major surgery. 60 years ago they'd do that operation without anesthetic. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
