AIBU to be a little bit hacked off with dh?

DH has been on a stag do since friday and has managed to phone once (he's in the UK so no time difference) I did ask him to try and call so that he could talk to the dc's. Now I know that he's going to be drinking for the whole time but AIBU to expect him to call at least to talk to the dc's? DD got upset last night as she really wanted to talk to him.

He doesn't have a mobile phone so I can't call him - I do have the number of one of his friends who's also away but don't want to call as I'll be seen as a nagging wife.

AIBU to be at least a little bit hacked off with him or AIB unrealistic to expect him to find a phone box/mates mobile in his drunken stupor?

Its difficult on stag/hen weekends because you fluctuate between being hungover and drunk IME but he probably should've made an effort.

If he doesn't have a mobile it may be difficult for him to get to a phone to phone you.

I wouldn't worry it's just that they are all boys together and alternating in pissed and bravado and phoning the misses from a pay phone will be cringeworthy.
Why on earth doesn't he have a mobile then hevcoukd have sent a sneaky text at least

I'm not overly worried - I know he won't overdo it too much - he gets the worst hangovers so tbh that is enough to make me feel better - I'm just pissed off that he hasn't bothered to call - he won't be back til late tomorrow night so am just trying not to breed any resentment between now and then as I force myself to say 'had a nice time' through gritted teeth when he walks through the door.

He says he doesn't need a mobile as he's either at home or at work (also if he has a mobile his work are more likely to contact him when he's not there) He did have one briefly when I was pg but didn't bother to keep using it - it doesn't normally bother me that he doesn't have one.
