Is my husband being rude to my Mom?!?

We are visitng my mother in FL, and she is basically paying for everything. Now that we're here, my husband does not want to do anything with her. He feels like he's being "owned" by her which was never her intention! She had planned a nice dinner at Ruth Chris - on her dime - so that friends and family can see us. My husband bailed at the last minute claiming he was too tired. Hey, I was tired too, but I figured I could give her 3 hours of my time in exchage for her generosity. Plus, we had known about this dinner ahead of time. The day after, she invited us to have lunch with her. He showed up saying he was not hungry! Granted the restaurant was a pain to get to, especially with 2 hungry kids in the backseat. But I feel like my husband doesn't "get it". It's not often I see my mother, and all he wants to do are activites on our own, but I suspect my mother would like to see me and the kids at least once a day. I am so embarassed and livid.Is my husband being rude to my Mom?!?
I think soIs my husband being rude to my Mom?!?
Yes, he is being rude. My ex-husband used to act like that cause he was a jerk and the only person who was important to him was him
I think he is being rude. You should talk to him about it and show him your point of view. If he was any kind of man, he would listen and try and understand.Is my husband being rude to my Mom?!?
Maybe her generosity is making him feel not worthy?? Not a good husband and father??



It's nice she's doing all she is. Wish he'd get the stick out of his butt for your Holidays!
Yes he is being very rude.....Your mom is paying for your everything he should show some gratitude!



can you please try to answer my question now? I would really appreciate it!Is my husband being rude to my Mom?!?
he probably feels awkward being with the "in laws", be sure to spend a day or 2 with just him and your kids. Help him to feel more comfortable. I know I hate being with my in laws.
Wow .
Oh dear. Try to make the very best of the rest of your visit with your mom. Then you and your husband need to have a very serious talk. I mean better for him to stay home next time, no? That is very rude and he probably has some underlying problems but you need to really talk together. Gee I am very sorry. If he feels like he is being 'owned' he should have declined altogether or did he just wait until he got there to feel this way. Wow Ruth Chris's is DELICOUS and so expensive. What a nice mom
he is not only being rude but also inconsiderate and selfish.but it is not uncommon for men 2 act this way.there is a good chance that even if u talk 2 him about the situation he still will not see your point of view. life sometimes involves doing things you don't want to do but have to do, he needs to understand this. give it a shot and try talking to him about the situation because you don't want 2 lose contact of family because of his behavior.
