Default My husband will not be in family portrait:(

My husband is a workaholic and before i go any further i want to state that I am very appreaciative of all the hard work he does but there is a fine line and he has crossed it . We have 3 children together ages 12, 9 and 5 and we have never had a proper family portrait done . I have organised it for a saturday afternoon as that was the only day i could do it and i have had trouble in the past trying to get him to to take a saturday off he hasnt had one off since his christmas break he only gets to spend time with his kids on Sunday and then he sleeps half the day , and he can take Saturdays off he has done it to play golf when it suites him .Anyway to cut a long story short he has been away interstate all week refuses to be in this family portrait i have a big argument with him saying that the world doesnt revolve around Sundays . I am at my wits end , and then he threw in a comment " If you would get off your a** and get a job i wouldnt have to work like a dog !" I was crying my eyes out how dare he say that to me , i have always wanted to go back to work but couldnt becasue of school holidays as we have so many of them and i have no one to look after my kids. I am at my wits end my Daughter was so sad he wouldnt come to get the photo done she asked him if he was going to take the photo day off and he said maybe , i told her not to get her hopes up and that most likely he will be going to work . Does anyone have any advice on how i can handle this situation better as i feel he has no respect for me at all . I would really appreaciate anyones insight
