Fever pitch

Today, I jokingly asked my husband if he was going to make it to our first child's christening as there was a football match on at the same time. Without hesitating, he replied that he would just watch the recording. He meant the recording of the christening. He was serious. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

I must be the only one irritated that it says "replyed" instead of "replied".

Relax, lady, he's just kidding! He's not even going to watch the recording of the Christening. Come on, what's there to see? At that age, a baby is little more than a writhing meatloaf. What a boring video that would be!

Sounds like you didn't even discuss the event with him beforehand or else it wouldn't be an issue. YDI.

Don't marry men and expect them to be normal.

a baby's christening sounds pretty lame anyways. i wouldn't go.

like the kids going to remember?

ughh im like a huge sportts buff but i cant stand football! what kind of person would watch a football game over seeing their child's baptism thingy?

How do you christen a kid? Hit his head with a wine bottle?

YDI for: Believing in organized religion Getting knocked up Doing anything else on matchday Not aborting your kid Getting married Asking questions to your spouse Yup, that should that should piss enough people off.

You totally deserve it for being so timid. You should have simply said "No. You can record the football game and come to the Christening." You won't get what you want without making clear requests (or demands).

ydi. football comes first

YDI for christening your baby. your husband is right to avoid that religious nonsense.
