AITAH For asking my wife for essentially a day off on Father's day this year?
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I am in need of unbiased answers.
My wife asked me what I wanted for father's day this year. A few of my friends, my father, and one of their fathers (6 of us total) planned a day for us to spend together which we rarely experience these days. I asked her to take care of the kids while we celebrate father's day together as a group of fathers.
My wife does not like the idea. She thinks I should spend time with the kids on fathers day. I understand where she's coming from, but I spend time with the kids every single day. I am not an absent father. Yes, I work full time, as does my wife, but we are both very active in our kid's lives. Hell, I coach my son's rec league basketball team for 8 year olds. I take my daughter to gymnastics practice 3 times a week and spend 2 hours watching the entire practice most Sundays.
My mother agreed to help my wife take care of the kids/grandkids while my father and I are out for the day. We plan to be back for dinner that night to have a nice family meal with everyone and it's not like my father and I expect some fancy home cooked meal either. We're fine with ordering takeout.
My parents obviously have no issue with it. No one has told me I am in the wrong, but my wife is very obviously not happy.
AITAH?
ETA:
I showed my wife the post and she got embarrassed, laughed, and playfully called me a jerk for "exposing" her on reddit. She said she didn't mean to let her disappointment show so clearly, but did reassure me that she respected my choice and won't be holding it against me or anything like that.
Thanks for all the replies!
