AIBU to be really cheesed off with DH

First up, I know this is trivial and in the grand scheme of things completely unimportant, and we're still pretty lucky to be going, but I am gutted and cheesed off with DH.

We have 2 children, who have been begging for ages to go to Disneyland Paris.

We can't afford it on our own, so my Mum suggested that instead of buying loads of stuff for the kids, they'd pay for a trip to Disneyland as their Christmas present.

So we looked into it, found a fab deal for a 3 night stay to leave Boxing Day and we booked it last week.

DH and I agreed to keep it quiet, and not say anything at all until the morning we leave.

Saddo that I am, was really looking forward to seeing their faces when they realise that they're going there and then.

I went out for a couple of hours yesterday, and came back to oldest DC bursting with excitement about Disney.

DH had bloody told them.

I know there's nothing I can do about it, they can't be un-told, we'll still have a fab time, but I'm gutted I didn't even get to be here when they were told

has he told them the actual date you are going or just 'after Christmas'?

Thinking maybe you might be able to retrieve a little: if he just said after Christmas, you could still do the Advent Calendar thing but a bit more disguised so they don't guess it straight away.

And in the meantime, gear them them down by making out you're looking at Easter/Summer dates? Just a thought. Smile

No, he's given them chapter and verse.

If he'd been vague about it we could have just kept quiet and surprised them the morning we left, but they know when unfortunately

Sad

Is just the kind of thing my STBX does - but deliberately. Told the kids there was no Santa, it was parents! Shock Wouldn't have been quite so upset if had said was Mum, as he never contributed to the presents, decorating or run up at all, so why he felt he should include himself in the equation, I don't know! If I arranged a treat for kids, he would tell them ahead of time and not include me, taking all the credit but never actually doing any of the work.

Hope you have a fab time.

He is mean spirited. He could have at least said sorry to you
