What would you do?
So, a super huge concert is coming to my area in October. I want to go but El Jeffe / bossman (note the sarcasm) is saying 'Not a chance'. This could really be a once in a lifetime event. At this point he's just saying that it could not be safe without giving any specifics.
Mind you, until I said otherwise, he was planning to go to the concert himself. We have a group of friends (about 5 couples) that are all planning to go.
Would you just buy the tickets and discuss it again at a later date? Or would you not buy the tickets and then pray that there are reasonable scalpers the week of the concert. To which, I seriously doubt the tickets will be any less than twice the face value by then.
This discussion has been closed.
Re: What would you do?
My coworker and I always joke that it's easier to ask for forgiveness that ask for permission.
I'm not real big on the "boss man" telling me no way. I barely pay attention to what my actual boss says, let alone DH. So I agree with the PP, buy the tickets now and bring it up later. Like she said, it'd be easier to sell them than to shell out tons of extra cash to buy them late. Who are you going to see?
As long as you're not in a mosh pit or a dangerous area there's nothing wrong with going to a concert while pregnant. Put the bossman at ease by asking your OB!
I went to a concert on week 37 that was a 2 hr drive from home that my OB gave me the okay. It turned out fine! The worst case scenario was that i'd go into labor early and be away from MY hospital (but there was obviously plenty of other hospitals around that could have taken me if i'd labored that quickly!).
Thanks ladies for the confirmation. I also ran it by two of my friends and they had the same opinion. HA!
It's the Jay-Z and Kanye West Watch the Throne concert and I know it will be epic... I'm even trying to get my little bro out here to go with us.. since we both love the music...
Ditto the others, buy the tix. You're an adult. I've gone to 2 concerts this pregnancy and 2 while I was pregnant with DD. There's nothing unsafe about them.
Sounds like a great show too!! Go and have fun
I would be pretty upset with MH if he tried to forbid me from doing something. I don't tell him he can't do things either.
At the same time, I wouldn't want him going behind my back, and I wouldn't go behind his back and buy tickets without telling him.
I'd have a long, honest talk with him about how important it was for me and how it was making me feel like he was treating me like a child to forbid me to go, and have some data to back me up on the concert being safe for me/LO.

My thoughts exactly! See if your dr will okay it in front of your H. Then he can't say no, or will at least have to give you a better, more specific reason why not.
