So I posted a few weeks ago regarding the fact that DP is always whinging that he's never being able to take his DD abroad and seems kind of pissed off/jealous that I go abroad with my kids. The reason he never gets there is because he's terrible with money and never make an effort to save yet when it comes to the summer holidays it's everyone elses fault IYSWIM?
So yesterday I found a great deal going to Turkey for next year and booked it. Nothing too posh, 4 star hotel, good location, all inc. He keeps asking me if I've booked a holiday and when he asked last night I told him we were going to turkey. He immediately panicked and went online to find a holiday for himself and his DD. He came up with one going to Grouve (crete) for £800 all inclusive and told me to have a look. The hotel was AWFUL, looked over a main road, it had terrible reviews, only one bed in the room meaning he's either have to share with a 15 year old girl or one would have to sleep on the sofa all week and the pictures other guests had taken showed mouldy bathrooms, sewer problems, rowdy guests and mucky beds. I told him the truth that I couldn't be paid to go there. So he panic-booked a self catering 7 day holiday to Sissi instead.
To do this he's having to stop paying off his credit card (he's already been bankrupt once and was only just starting to build back up his credit rating) and take his 15 year old out of school. So in 15 years he couldn't manage to take her anywhere yet he can suddenly manage it in one day when he realises I've booked somewhere??
AIBU to think his desperation to compete with me is a little weird and worrying?? Or is it good that he's finally managed to book something? (despite the circumstances 
)
