To stop DP going on lads holiday???

368 replies

MummytobeDC2 · 01/05/2013 12:49

DP and I are in our twenties, and I am 13+5 pregnant, due in November. His friends have decided to book a weeks holiday end of August, start of Sept... DP asked if I would mind him going and I said yes as il be 7months gone I have DS to previous relationship so will need the help and money etc... He got upset etc and made me feel exceptionally guilty. So me being me said he should go for a long weekend and come home before his friends, stay 3nights, that way we are both happy! His mother advised us "he should go as it will be his last" and he keeps repeating that now complaining after agreeing to the long weekend he wants to go for the week!

First of all I will be 7months, I have DS I need help with and the money would benefit the baby, flights and accommodation are costing £300 and spending money, well, at least 2weeks wages! We are far from flush!

AIBUR????

Please tell me I'm not insane? Shock

I think if you're skint your DP shouldn't be going. Why does he think it's ok to spend money that you don't have?

Am also Grin at 'doggy dog world'!

I agree upthread YWNBU but seriously you are being unbelievably rude now.

MummytobeDC2 · 02/05/2013 19:05

Yes I do know I am being rude, sorry if I have offended you personally.

I am a highly hormonal pregnant woman and the conversation is over so I don't appreciate people getting their two pence worth when they have not fully read/understood.

MissAnnersley · 02/05/2013 19:09

I'm not offended and totally get the hormonal pregnancy thing. It just jars a bit to be honest.

The best thing for your blood pressure would be to hide the thread and not come back to it.

Yabu its not for that long & once baby is here it will be much longer. I coped over the Olympics/paras at 34 weeks with dd 2 years whilst DH worked away on them. Do you have friends/family that can help you out whilst he's away? X

MummytobeDC2 · 02/05/2013 19:33

Baby bee we can't afford it, that's my point, being pregnant is just an added factor. We are not flush and I don't think he is considering the financial side for the sake of a family. As I have also said - he went on holiday 3times last year - two one weeks and one weekend - so I never usually stop him doing anything Wink 1500 is a long of money to be boozing with when there is a baby due xx

Wow gang up on the OP again, that's original on AIBU. Good look OP with the baby and the future. I hope all works out for the best xx

Babybeesmama · 02/05/2013 19:49

Hmm, it is a lot of money to spend just before baby. If I think about it I guess I would hope that DH wouldn't want to go.... Maybe he's just thinking he might not get chance to do stuff like that once bub arrives? (May be why he's unwilling to compromise to 3 days - which would cost less so solve part of problem!). I guess I was on my own cos DH had to work, not go off sunning himself drinking away our pennies!! Plus I think if rather spend the money on a family holiday all together. Suggest that Grin! Good luck & congrats on pregnancy.

Ps the first and last time I posted in AIBU I got totally flamed and almost 800 replies! Never again! Confused
