I think many husbands are like this. My husband worked so late the other day that he stayed over in office!! I just don't understand how can one with a family and kid at home choose work over coming home to us. But it is true sometimes they don't have a choice and they need to show their efforts in order to secure their position. Sometimes I tell my husband maybe it is time for him to look for a new job. It is sad and frustrating. I won't allow it to become a habit. Once a while choose work over family I am fine but if he is like that all the time I will let him know his priority is perhaps wrong and maybe he needs to talk to his boss. At the end of the day our kids do not need material or branded stuffs from us. They need us and our time

At least i need him to be with us at special occassion.. other day he work late im fine with it. Just like just now new year eve suppose to be half day, but yet he still have to work overtime till evening then able to get home for reuion dinner.

Is he the bread winner? because husband whom are workaholic because they worried about the future no money. If I'm his friend I would tell him not work so hard when divorce. his contribution to the family as a workaholic hold very little weight in court. He will lose custody of child, have to pay alimony and child support. With the above said, I think he is a good husband working hard for the financial needs of his family. If you wish to lighten his burden, maybe you can consider working full time and he doesn't need to feel so stress for money.

Sometimes they don't have a choice. Husbands many times whatever happens at work they keep it to them seems well. Just like. As moms We never know what a day they had. Maybe let him know a or ask if you guys could go out on another day. It's just a birthday. Everyday can be birthday too

Maybe he really have things to rush? Maybe he thinks just have a dinner and cut cake will do? Different pple express their love for the family differently. Maybe u can communicate w ur husband about what u all can do ? So that u know what he expects and he knows what u expects

Well, then I don't suppose u shld expect much change from a workaholic. Old habits die hard. Maybe slow subtle changes. Encourage him to spend time witnessing ur child's growth because they grow up too fast.

In the past, my hub always complained me about my workaholic attitude but after he had been set to report to office, he himself behave the same. 😁 Well, at this economic situation, it is best to keep priority at work if he is breadwinner.

Actually I won't expect my hb to take leave for my bday Nor LO bday. But I expect him to at least wish us on the actual day. Simple celebration can be done over the weekend earlier or later I'm fine
