I’d say let him go and let him have that free time of hunting if that’s what he really wants but he should also be including you on some of his hunting Adventures and if not then I wouldn’t be begging him for more time with him that should just be a given. I would also after this make sure you go on a vacation without your kiddos and without him

Omg, let the man go hunting with his buddies! He was doing it before you came into his life, and then you went till kids came. He still deserves to have his time. If you don’t have friends to hunt with, or that hunt. Then find something for you to take your vacation on and leave him with the kids for a few days. Couples don’t have to stop their joys because of a wife and kids package. The question I have is, did you even hunt? Or did he take you along and you just sat there?

Let him go. Then make your own plans to hunt or do something with your friends. He can stay home with the kids during the time.
Since he insists on going hunting during family vacation, I’d do something super fun with the kids during that time. Not sure where you live, but maybe an indoor water park? Have a freaking BLAST without him. Then put the pictures all over the house and social media. All the pictures of you and the kids making memories together and having fun. Do this every year that he goes hunting during Thanksgiving week. When the kids grow up and wonder where Dad was during an awesome vacation, he can explain that he chose hunting with his friends.

Let him have his time with friends. It’s just one day. Hopefully when children are older he takes them. My husband takes our son, who is 7.

I haven’t read the rest of the comments. I personally feel everyone is entitled to their alone time. My fiancé goes on an annual guys fishing trip and I’m also free to make my own time away plans. Sometimes I do my own thing and other times we plan to do them together. All about balance.
That said, I can understand why you are disappointed. You want to go hunting, you enjoy that time together, and you did it before children. I would be frustrated and upset if I had expressed my feelings to my spouse (if I was in this position) and he didn’t compromise one of the years to go as a couple again.

Is this his only hunting trip with the guys??? If so then he’s just getting some time with the boys.
If not then I find it interesting he is not involving you seeing as you want to hunt. Most men would be thrilled to have a wife that hunts.
My wife has learned to shoot and about hunting and now hunts, I would never think of going without her. We are empty nesters so it’s easy.
Teach the twins to shoot and get them involved in hunting then it’s a family tradition.

The same thing happened with me. I started hunting with him when our relationship was new. He wanted to go by himself with his friends after we had kids but it actually didn’t bother me. I took off Thanksgiving week and wrapped gifts for Christmas while the kids were in school and he was gone. I understood that he needed guy time. Now that we are older, he likes to have me come with but I don’t want to hunt. I go with and stay at the casino hotel and have quiet time while he hunts and then we go out for dinner at night.

I lived this bs. Let me tell you what you might ought to do. Go down to where your husband checks his deer or what ever in. Look at the wall of pictures. Look for his and see if there is a lady in it with him. I stayed home and did the family holidays too. My husband was hunting with a different lady. They were in a picture together checking in his or her deer. On the wall in a picture. Yes. I was controlling his time too. The hunting and fishing was only time he had besides work time. See how he used it? I was told, he couldn’t even have his own life anymore. Men who want to be men and a dad will do the family thing. Ok? Selfish people go hunting and fishing on holidays and family times.

My whole family hunts. November is HUNTING month.
It’s probably been a tradition in his family for years and with his buddies. Just let him go hunting. It’s not a big thing. You just make a day with your girlfriends and your family to do something with them and he can stay home with the kids. Problem solved
He’s about to spend thanksgiving with some other chick it sounds like. Why specifically thanksgiving. That’s family time not hunting with the boys time. To leave you completely to go hunt on a family holiday is weird. Sounds like he’s very disconnected. Holidays are always for family. No problem with seeing friends but when you ditch your family completely to be with friends that sounds weird

Ladies. If we want this default parent bullshit to change. We need to stop this mind set that it’s okay for the fathers of the kids to bugger off with his mates, while we have find something to do that includes the kids.
I sware, we are our on worst enemies with this bullshit mindset.
News flash, if you don’t expect and demand that the father of your children step up and parent. THEY WON’T.
Just go sleep with his dad

All these women saying ‘just let it go it’s a not a big deal’. It’s not a big deal to YOU but it is for her. It’s something she wants to be included in. And she shouldn’t be the fall back parent every year while he does his thing. Organise a girls hunting trip this year (if you have friends that do it) and he can spend it with the kids this time ?

My husband hunted before him and I got together. He as always hunted with his friends/family every thanksgiving so I let him continue. But I’m also not a hunter. But you shouldn’t have to use your vacation days for him. That should be for you guys. And what’s the big deal about you going? Why does he care if you go? These are things I’d be asking him.

My 1st husband cheated on me while hunting over thanksgiving weekend, so I’m probably not the best person to chime in. However, you asked. So, I wouldn’t tolerate him not being around for Thanksgiving &/or leaving me out of an activity that we shared. It sounds sexist that you are expected to take care of the kids. How would he feel if you planned a several day trip w/ your friends over a family holiday time & left him to take care of the kids?

Yall, it’s not the point just to go hunting. She wants to go hunting WITH her husband. So saying just go without isn’t helping her.
Lady, you should sit your husband down and have a conversation with him. Don’t talk at him. Ask questions. Suggest alternatives for a babysitter. Or hey, take them with. Make it a family tradition for all of you. Don’t let him dismiss you. Let your feelings be known and heard. I hope you get a Thanksgiving Tradition that you’re hoping for. Best of luck.

Don’t book your vacation time and tell him he has to figure it out. If he wants to cut you out of his plans, cut him out of yours.

I would tell him that every other year he can hunt and on the off years you will take a girls trip for your vacation and he can use his time to watch the kids 
if not maybe it’s time to make a savings account for a week long sitter so you both can go hunting together every year. It’s pretty fair and even straight forward.

You both had kids, not just you. You shouldn’t have to give up everything to care for them. He can figure out childcare for the kids. Unfortunately, I think hunting with him is over with (at least for the foreseeable future). He obviously didn’t care to spend your vacation time with you, wanted you to spend it on his to make it easier. So, besides having him figure out childcare while he’s gone, spend your vacation on yourself. Whether it be with friends or family, do what you want to do. What you allow will continue. Maybe giving him a small comparison of what you’ve had to sacrifice and feel the last 7 years will open his eyes. Plus, you’ll have a very well deserved and relaxing vacation on your choice, whether that be a girls trip or a vacation YOU want to do with your family.

Plan yourself a trip for you and your friends and tell him he’s gotta watch the kids. Not saying necessarily at Thanksgiving…do yours first. Use your vacation time for you and your friends and tell him he has to figure out his hunting trip for himself since you don’t have vacation time to watch the kids anymore.

Plan yourself a trip without him the same week. Buy non refundable reservations somewhere. 
His friends don’t like you. He’s trying to avoid telling you. If you continue to be obnoxious about it either he will A) Cave and take you along, which probably will be zero fun, or B) Confess which friend doesn’t like you and why, which will likely hurt your feelings.
People should be able to do things outside their relationship. Before we had a kid I never missed one of my husband’s shows. In the five years since I’ve missed hundreds. I got over it. You can too. 
Let him have his time and get your own. Seriously. Men need guy time. You’ve been married for 12 yrs. Give each other a break ffs. Don’t compare life w/o kids to now.
