I'm going. We were both supposed to go. My husband is off this week and our son is expecting him to be there. My husband is "pouting" because our son said he doesn't like him.
Tell your husband to quit behaving like a 3 year old having a tantrum.
If he is this immature now.......
What is the reason that your husband gave for not going? I'm guessing he didn't say he was "pouting"; I'd like to hear his excuse.
And what the heck is a parent lunch? I know I would nearly never be able to go to my daughters' school during work hours for a parent lunch, so is it just a club for moms that don't work?
The school hosts a lunch for preK and K every year. The students sing a few songs and then have pizza with their families. It's not a moms club. It's not for moms who don't work (I work full time).
While k was in the shower, the two of them disagreed about something. Our son drew a picture and wrote "daddy I hate you". Obviously he doesn't hate his dad. And I've heard the I don't like you comments all the time. He's five. I tell him it's okay if he upset, I still love him. My husband can be moody and hold a grudge. Yes, he's being immature. All I'm asking if for a safe response for my kid that isn't a lie.
Hmmm. Does he already know that his dad is not coming because he is pouting?
If so, then perhaps something like "Daddy is having a really bad day today. Sometimes people have bad days, and sometimes people have good days. But family should always love each other even when they have bad days."
If your son doesn't realize the real reason that daddy isn't coming, then I say lie (but only because he's 5). Tell your son daddy had something really important to do and was really sorry he couldn't make it and here I'll take a video of your song and we can show it to him tonight so it will be like he was here.
Then, you get your husband in private and have a come to Jesus talk, because he's being a douche.

I don't think you have to tell your child anything. It is your husband's responsibility to explain why he is not going.
I know he's being an ass. His dad is dying, so I'm trying to be tolerant of his range of emotions right now. It's not right to take it out on his family, but sometimes people act like *******s during stressful times.
My son thinks he will be there. And I know he will ask when he sees me alone. The video is a great diversion. I think that will satisfy the little guy.
