Sorry meant to add this onto my last thread but he came in the room and I had to cut it off.
Basically we are about the embark on a 3 week trek across america, east to west involving lots of flights, hire cars, airports, hours and hours of driving (and I've never driven abroad before), hotels, apartments, trips, theme parks, attractions ? you name it, we're probably doing it. It's slightly stressful preparing for it, especially as neither of us are what you would call seasoned travellers and generally tend to stick to flight = hotel = home type holidays. This is a HUGE venture for us and has cost us a fortune in money and time. We set off on Monday evening with two kids in tow.
Issue is I feel like nothing is getting sorted. No packing has been done, we have a huge list of shit we need to do, a list of stuff we need to get ? and no time. DP works full time, so do I normally but I have this week off on study leave meaning I have 37 hours worth of written work to do as well as a full day of practical training (tomorrow) and an appointment with my son Friday morning. DP has friday afternoon off so I thought ?great, we'll get everything done then.? but no ? he's gone and booked an eye test Friday afternoon and agreed to take and pick up his son from Manchester (2 hours drive there and back). He also has his son Saturday from 12pm until Sunday until 12pm (I'm not involved in this as I've only recently met the lad) so nothing will get done between those times either. So I thought ?ok, Saturday morning? - but no, DP has gone and booked a doctor's appointment Saturday morning for his hypercondriatic condition that he's been obsessed with for the past year or so. Total waste of time as the doctor (well, a number of doctors now) have said there is nothing wrong with him and nothing anyone can do!! So that leaves Sunday afternoon ? I said ?So, can we get something done Sunday afternoon then?? and he snaps ?oh for gods sake, yes ? it's not like I need a rest, is it?.
AIBU here?? I'm partly annoyed that nothing is getting done but I suppose I'm also annoyed that we've spent all this money and time on the holiday and all he wants to do is bloody moan and complain about stuff and arrange other things in the time we need to prepare. I want to look forward to our holiday, shouldn't he??
