We leave on holiday tomorrow morning, and I’m the only one packed. DH and two older teens have done nothing. They barely seem to have registered that we are going tomorrow.

AIBU to just leave them to it, and if that means they have nothing but what they are standing up in then maybe they will learn for next time?

(so as not to drip feed, it’s a U.K. self catering holiday but we have to leave at 8am tomorrow, and the location is remote. There will be a small supermarket but no clothes shops.)

I agree. Remind them you leave for remote place at 8am.

Then add you will happily take anyone ready and carriage any packed bags!

if they aren’t ready go alone and enjoy!

I was severely pissed one or two years when my DH done this, really killed my holiday buzz!!

Agree with the above - one warning and then leave them to it. If they aren’t ready tomorrow, they aren’t ready.

Feel your pain op

Mention it once, then stop

Yeah just be very clear that you're leaving at 8am regardless of if they've finished packing.

I'd give them one warning, now, that you are not packing for them and there will be no clothes shops.

Then leave them to it. And not do any washing for them while you're away, they can do it themselves.
