Another little scenario for you all...

I wouldn't care if the friends were inviting my husband out. I would be upset if he decided to go every single time. The end of a pregnancy is draining, but I know my DH would rather be home with myself and my daughter instead of our with his mates the majority of the time in those last few weeks anyway.

I wouldn't care, although I did get a bit annoyed when MIL & FIL invited DH to their house in Spain when I was heavily pregnant with the twins. I could handle him being in the pub, but not in another country and I thought it was rude of them not to consider that.

Personally the invites didn't stop here and i wouldn't really expect them too, it's up to my DP to make the decisioon to stay or go... hell we thougt nothing of him going to work the day DD1 was born and look what happened
My cousin went to the AFL grand final the weekend his wife was due

I think it's an each to their own, if it annoys your DP that he keeps gettingg asked after saying he's not interested then he needs to be honest with his friends and say i will contact you when i am ready to get out and about.

Hugs LMS. Sounds like you've got a case of the "end of pregnancy grumps". I mean that in a kind way. I was the grumpiest, nastiest most hysterical overdue woman both times! I hope DH spoils you rotten when he's home, and I hope you get the chance to do some lovely things for yourself while you're waiting for the baby xo

THis reminds me of this one time (at band camp just joking) when I was pg with DS1 back in 2000. Dh and I went over to his sisters place for the night and we all went out to a pub after dinner and SIL was three sheets to the wind ****ed and we saw this guy in the pub with this massive big brick phone on his belt and we were pulling the **** out of him and in the end SIL went over to him and asked why he had the phone making him look like a dork and he told her that his wife was due to have her baby any day and he wanted her to be able to call him blah blah and SIL looked at him, pointed to us and told him how her brother didn't need a phone, he just brought his wife with him LOL.

Let him go - if he has a phone I don't see what the problem is? I can guarantee that you WONT go into labour while he's out on the ****.

It sounds like the issue is more with the friend in question and his motives, and by motives I mean him excluding you and DD, that seems to bother you more than the etiquette of him spending time with DH because you are pg. I think you need to sit down and talk to this friend or accept that he isn't into kids and his relationship is going to be mostly with DH for a bit. Some people don't like kids. Doesn't mean they are evil. They just aren't used to them.
