My husband is in his 7th month of sobriety, so very new. When I suggested that my son and I don't attend the meeting that night he wasn't very happy about that either. I work very long hours and don't get to spend most evenings with our kids, so on his Birthday I want to spend one on one time and not be seperated in different areas of the meeting.
I would love to take the entire day off of work and spend with my son but I have a manditory training class that day.
Our son is in school already but I would love to take him out for his Birthday but this year it is not possible.
I appreciate everyone's input. At this point I think my son and I will not attend and I will not mention to him I would like us all to spend the eveing together. My husband will just have to deal with his unhappiness about this, as it really doesn't effect him.
