to not be excited by a suprise holiday

My 'd'p has suprised us with a family holiday of a week in Madeira. How lovely, however it is in 9 weeks, I don't have a passport (it's run out), the dogs jabs are not up to date, I can't find anywhere where I can kennel her when her jabs ARE up to date, it corresponds with a week where my employer has managed to set up some training for us all to do, which I have been asking for in my appraisals for the last 3 years for (it's quite a specialist course, very expensive, everyone is doing at once, if I miss it, I won't get to do it).

But the final straw was, it's with his parents (who are generally lovely in a elderly, don't start talking about immigration to them way) and who have been nagging him to tell me that we are all going on holiday together since before Christmas.

His reasoning for why he didn't tell me before Christmas was because he didn't want me to get stressed! ARGHHHH! So now I have to get my passport renewed REALLY quickly (that'll be because the flight booking need my passport number 3 weeks before we fly), get the dogs to the vets, ring round kennels (and visit them, poor dog has never been kennelled before, think this is stressing me out more than anything!) and I am going to miss out on some amazing training.

Ahhhhhh that feels better

YABU - What a lovely gesture, TBH I think you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Accept the holiday, enjoy it and appreciate that you have a DH that would do that for you.

Just found this WeWishYouAMerrynameChange when doing a search for useful advice when going to Madeira with a lunatic toddler!

Just out of interest, when are you going? We're going out on the 12th August (our 8th visit) and would really reccommend the island for peace and relaxation. Also plenty of young families there too as pools and hotel facilities keep kids amused.

Did you manage to get your passport sorted and dog kennel found?
