To make them change the free gift to one we want?

[WayHarshTai]

Dh has been given a bonus at work for being a general superstar. it's a night away in a hotel for all of us and theme park tickets.

I specified that we would need two interconnecting rooms, one for us and one for the children, a bath as DD wil NOT have showers and a restaurant on site because I can't be doing with traipsing the DC out for breakfast/dinner.

They've just sent through the booking and it has none of these things, it's one room with a shower, no restaurant.

I am going to get DH to complain and get the booking changed. My sister said I should just suck it up as it's free, but if it's not suitable for our needs then what's the point?

AIBU?

Whatever happened to just being gracious or not going?

What you're asking for is no doubt a lot more expensive than what you got. I expect there would have been a budget for this, so yes, you would be quite churlish to insist on 2 rooms, instead of one.

Yabu, it's one night and a gift.

This is a joke, right?

Wow YABU. Absolutely.

You are away for one night - absolutely no need for DD to have a shower or bath!

Buy some cereal bars to give the children in the morning.

Oh and enjoy your freebie!

If your DH does go into work and complain I can't see it going down very well tbh.

Well I think you should, by the time you are done you will have ensured your dh will never get a bonus again or be taken seriously at work so squeeze every last penny out of this one

Surely the best way to approach this is to enquire wheter you can pay the difference

Wow, seriously? is this a wind up?

Your behaviour is rude, ungracious and ungrateful. Grow up, learn some thankfulness and be proud of your husband instead of effectively belittling his efforts with your pickiness over the reward. Dreadful behaviour.

YABVU, it is a gift, can't you get a babysitter and just go with your DH if your children can't cope with no bath/going out for food/whatever for one night?

We were offered a choice of hotels, I specified what we wanted (which was available) and they came back and said it was fully booked so we had to have this shit one.

DD has to have a bath, I'm not taking her round a theme park with rat tailed hair fgs, I'm not my sister.

It is one night, DD can go without a bath. I am sure going out for breakfast/dinner will be fine. You are coming across as very ungrateful.

This has got to be a wind-up, surely nobody could be this ridiculous?

Wow. Entitled much?

Yabu.

It's a gift. Say thanks and eBay it if it bothers you that much!

You can't do this. Really. He will look like a total knob.

You sound very rude and entitled.

She can survive one night without a bath

I assume from your last post that you are staying over then going to the theme park the next day. No-one will look at DD's hair, you can get breakfast on the way there and dinner in the park. How old are your DC?

My vote is for a wind up, and if by some chance it isn't, my recommendation would be for your DH to take the children away for a fun night, while you have a lonely night at home thinking about what you are missing out on.

How rude! You are being offered a gift that many people would snap your hand off for but are acting like Princess Tippy-Toes.

Sheesh,

How ungrateful do you sound?

As mentioned above, your DD can manage without a bath for one night, and buy some fruit and cereal bars for breakfast. I'm sure there will be a restaurant of some description nearby for tea/dinner.

Does it really matter what your daughter's hair looks like if she's charging around a theme park?!

Agree with justforlaughs and I bet her dh does too.....can you imagine what sort of a break they would have if she went?
