Every year at Christmas time I have a morning with a group of friends shopping in a nearby town, and then we go to lunch at a favourite pub. Tomorrow is the day we are going. I asked DH ages ago if he'd keep tomorrow free to have the DCs (he is self employed), and he agreed.
Anyway, DH has decided in the past few days that he wants to have my car tomorrow, as he has recently swapped his car for a 2 seater work vehicle which is much bigger than my little car, and so it can't fit the kids in. If I'm honest I don't feel particularly confident driving his new car, let alone going to a busy town and having to park it up etc - it's huge! Also I was going to be giving 3 friends a lift but obviously now I can only take one of them. And also I know for a fact that DH won't actually do anything or take the kids anywhere; he'll just watch sport or a film on the tv. And I'll be back pretty early anyway.
I have tried explaining all of the above to him and saying I'd like to just take my little car but he's having none of it. But then on the other hand he keeps saying not to biff his new vehicle and I know if I did biff into another car with it he'd shout at me and go mad. I feel like he's just doing it to be awkward. There are plenty of times when he's taken my car keys to work in the past by mistake and I've been car-less for the day, and I've just got on with it. It's not like he wants to go anywhere.
He also has the hump a bit about not working tomorrow, and keeps going on about it as if it is some huge favour to me. He's had christmas nights out, three in the past couple of weeks.
This isn't relevant but just in case someone throws the "is he the main/sole earner?" thing into the mix, I work too.
AIBU to think he's just being awkward?
