AITA: Interrupted husband’s work to swap off childcare

Okay so first I know I’m not totally the asshole because he’s our son’s parent too, but I’m asking if I should have/could have been more tactful and understanding.So I work with kids and the people that support them. Meaning on any given day I do a variety of things such as:Lead Nature HikesBuild a BonfireOversee a group of kids and parentsLead seminars and trainingNegotiate meeting space for donationHost a table at a high dollar luncheonAnd SO much more.Obviously some of these things are kid friendly and I’m blessed to be able to bring my son (5 years old) to many things. However, so of these functions are NOT child appropriate. So I try to give my husband plenty of warning and have sitters on standby when 1-2 nights a week I have a meeting after school hours. It goes on the big white board, we talk about the week ahead of time, husband gets texts or call reminders, etc.So today he knew he needed to take DS. He called twenty minutes before I needed to leave the office to pick DS up from school to say we needed to talk. I couldn’t atm but promised to call back. I did, 23 minutes later. He never answered. Over an hour later he said he had to make a decision and went to the next work site. I get it. Stuff happens. I asked if I should call the sitter, he said no. I offered to drop our son off so he could have an extra two hours to work before my meeting. Great. Good solution. Ended up fighting rush hour traffic, being late, and he was unavailable.He didn’t answer his phone or texts. I sat there for as long as I dared and finally got a call. He was with three company owners and said he needed a few more minutes. Friends, I am LATE. I was MAD.The thing is...tonight was a meeting with a bunch of teenagers. Kinda grey area of “being the kid to work.” Husband is with big wigs, I’m with older kids. Maybe I should have just taken DS with me, but damn it, I drove through rush hour and had prearranged for my husband to have him.Instead I insisted DH come get our son and stop his work day. My meeting ended up being 45 minutes, but it’s was MINE. No five year old clinging to my leg, asking for snacks, or crying because Spiro didn’t catch the egg stealer in his video game. But I still feel a little silly interrupting DHs big meeting.What do you think? Does commitment to childcare trump important meeting? Or should I have let him be despite them inconvenience? via /r/workingmoms https://ift.tt/3k33O1l
