We need to be somewhere by 11.it’s an hours drive. I wanted to set off at 9am as that will give us time to get parked, get something to eat etc … DH thought that was too early so we compromised on 9:30. He’s dat doing nothing until 8:20 at which point I reminded him he needs to start getting ready. 9:30 arrives and at this point he decides he needs a poo and a shave. Why????

My DH isn't like that. In fact if we agree that we're leaving at 9.30 he's more likely to have the car packed up and be standing in the car at 9.20 with his shoes on annoying the rest of us who are still getting ready! I will add that we are always all ready at the pre agreed time.

Because he had no intention of leaving at 9.30
