They should a)take the day off and b) help you?
DH has form for this. The day before a holiday, he "pops into work to just sort a couple of things out" and is gone for hours. From 7 am to 1pm today. Before kids it was just annoying, now with two kids it's infuriating.
He says I should have just left all the holiday prep as he would have helped on his return. On previous form, this could have been anything up to 2am. Should I have started work ironing, packing etc then? I was at work yesterday so couldn't get much done. Today, I packed while looking after two kids. Previously, I have packed for three people while looking after a very active toddler. He never gives me any time at which he will be back and always bills it as a quick visit, which it never is.
To clarify, his job is reasonably important but not fantastically so. He's not a brain surgeon! He admits when pressed that it is his poor time management that is the problem. He's only known about the holiday since January, after al!
To be honest, I just needed to vent. I put it to him that it would be nice for me to start one holiday without feeling resentment at his failure to help and being exhausted.

to think that if someone says, "I'll take the day off to help you."
