Binned off for beer!

DP has always been a bit of a party animal, can never leave until the end of the night, most of the times we go out I drive and he gets pissed.
Often out way later than agreed, never sorts a lift out (we live rurally so taxi/public transport not an option). In the earlier days of our relationship he failed to come home several times, or would ring me at 3 or 4 in the morning asking me to go and get him. We have 2 DC aged 2 and 4 now and admittedly it hasn't been so frequent but he still loves a beer and will often ring while he's out saying he won't be home when he said he would be and then not getting home til the early hours. We've been out this morning getting the DCs hair cut, and arranged that his parents would come over tonight for takeaway. He asked if I minded dropping him off at the rugby club for a few and he will come home when we go and pick up the takeaway. No problem, see you in a few hours.
He's just rung me and said one of his rugby mates wants to stay and watch the world Cup rugby game which doesn't start til 8 so did I mind of he stays out instead. I reminded him we have plans with HIS parents and he said yeah, they won't mind if I'm not there. I'm pissed off and told him yet again he has binned us off for beer.
AIBU to feel let down and pissed off? Every time he goes out this happens. I wouldnt be so bothered but he was away Sunday and Monday night with work and worked late the rest of the week (genuinely work and no suspicion of any infidelity) and we've hardly seen him.

so… what you going to do?

This makes me feel better. Almost a bit gaslighty the way he tells me he doesn't think it's a problem so I shouldn't have an issue with it. Even if we didn't have plans with his parents I still hate it when he's out and phones me because I know what's coming, he doesn't want to come home when he said he would be, doesn't understand the concept of leaving before it stops being fun.

Bloody hell

Shudder at thought of this man being my husband and father to my children

Me too.

To be honest I'd be telling him to come home and stick to the plans or not bother coming home at all. As in ever.

Take his parents down the rugby club and leave them there ?

Haha, luckily for me we have a really good relationship and I'm happy to still spend the evening with them.
They're honestly such nice people, I'm not sure how their son turned out to be such a shit when he's had a beer. He's honestly great until he gets a beer in him.

He needs to grow up. Tell him if he's not coming home for takeaway he best cancel his parents as you'll be going out too
