AIBU to be pi$$ed off my DH is going on holidays for 4 days with his mates while I'm at home with our DC who don't sleep the night and are up at 5am everyday? It's just for a holiday for them to sit by the pool Envy

Your home insurance may cover the watch - check if you have personal possessions cover. He needs to obtain a police report just in case.

Im with anyfucker on this one.

will the insurance pay up? If it's travel insurance the mere mention of alcohol could stop they paying -let alone being so pissed he was asleep in the street. perhaps home insurance might be a better claim?

But yes I'd have been pissed off by a 4 day holiday rather than a 2 day break. I'd be even more pissed off he'd gone with such selfish friends that they weren't looking out for each other.

I think he'll be looking forward to your quiet family holiday together. Grin

My friend had her drink spiked she was still vomiting 2 days later. Her behaviour was different to being drunk. Luckily her friends (hen do) realised and rallied by her, returned to the hotel room and sat up all night looking after her.

YANBU!!! I can't believe some of the responses on here. Id be furious of my DH got that drunk he passed out on a pavement. That's the sort of behaviour id expect from an18 year old! He's lucky he was only mugged and not hit by a car or something. I don't see why you should sort out the insurance whilst looking after two kids. Surely he can squeeze in a phone call into his busy sunbathing schedule?

I don't understand the need to have all this time away when you've got young kids. Yes a night off is lovely but it's full on having two little ones so the support of the other parent is helpful. I think he needs to accept that for the first few years priorities change and you can't put yourself first.

My DH asked to have a night away when dd2 will be 6 weeks. We have a 1.5 year old who doesn't sleep and I'm finding my c section recovery slow whilst running around after a toddler. I've told him no and to wait a few months. He goes to the pub 2/3 times a week so is hardly deprived of social interaction. I on the other hand have been out once (had to take baby) since having the baby a month ago. I'm so shattered and want to be with the baby in particular that I've little desire for it! I just don't understand this need for time away when they're so little, You have years after for it. Hope you're doing well on your own with the two, must be hard work.

A woman gets drunk, makes herself vulnerable, puts herself in a risky situation, makes questionable decisions, gets raped - no judgement. A man does the same and gets robbed - there is no holding back the judgement.

That the outcome is different doesn't change whether any blame should be attached to the behaviour concerned. You may be more sympathetic to the woman because you perceive the emotional effects of rape to be much greater than robbery but that doesn't change the fact that they are both equally culpable or not for the outcome of their poor decisions.

A person reaching any other conclusion lacks a basic capacity for logical reasoning.
