to stop DH going on holiday with his mates over Easter?

DH goes out fairly regularly without me, I'm usually but not always happy about it but I have never put any limits on it. We have a 2 year old DS.

He wants to go on a holiday with his mates Good Friday till Easter Monday even though we are skint and can't afford a family holiday again this year because of home improvements.

He has done this several times before, the last time was when DS was 3 months old. I have dug my heels in and said NO to this one as I don't want to be left alone again with DS and no money. It would also mean me having to find childcare for Friday as I am working a late shift Good Friday before my week off. He has told me that we can't come with him, it is exclusively lads only.

He has been moping about for 3 days now because I have ruined his Easter. He has ruined mine. AIBU?

Twat...him not you.

Personally, I'd text him to tell him he needs to come back and collect his stuff off the drive, where I'd have left his stuff, in binbags but that's me.

Sorry he is being such an ass, the fact of the matter is you cannot afford for him to go away, he made the decision for you to be skint when he decided on the house repairs, why should it be only you that suffers? He needs to cut back too.

Ignore, ignore, ignore

Treat him like you would a toddler having a tantrum

If you just didn't want him to go then that would be unfair but for the reasons you mentioned in your post then YANBU.
He is being an arse.

i havent read the whole thread, just your opening statement OP but oh my goodness, your husband really needs to grow up. is it just me or isnt that really selfish to want to go on holiday with your friends when your family is skint? how immature. and at easter time when people are off and doing nice things together? i wouldnt have it, not for a second. get him told.
