AIBU, to insist he tells me where we're going on holiday?

So as the title says! My boyfriend has booked a week away for valentines week, somewhere in the uk. He won't tell me where though.
We have a almost 4 month old dd and she will obviously be coming with us. Ive asked a few questions in regards to the sutibility for the baby and he just says 'don't worry', I am worrying though and he's taking offence that, I'm not trusting him to think about dd (this is a issue for us and he's really working on it)
Normally it wouldn't bother me, and he's done similar arranging surprise weekends away etc, but not since the baby.
AIBU, to say he tells me or I don't go?

Ok- but you did tell us he was "taking offence" at your worrying.

You're coming across as uptight and ungrateful ...I would just chill and go with the flow otherwise be Careful not to drive the man away Hun

Excellent advice hun, wow xxxxxx

He was offended at me thinking he'd not thought about dd Mindtrope he didn't want to tell me anything at first because he thought I'd guess where it was, and if I know he things I'll take over with planning what we need/do!

I know right Klaphat I actually had to read him that reply 😂

Do you know where you are going yet OP??

Emboo19 · 02/02/2017 17:04

No perhapsiwill we agreed if he told me a few details, I really wanted to know, he didn't have to say where we're going. So I have to wait until the 10th!

Sorry, I'd meant to update before now.
We're at centerparcs and it's lovely.
Other than packing clothes he'd taken care of everything else, so I didn't really have anything to worry about!

Glad it's going well. Enjoy!

Thank you girlelephant we got back last weekend. It was really lovely though, I barely did anything with dd, he was so hands on with bathing, changing, dressing etc.

He booked me some spa treatments for Valentine's Day and took dd to do pottery painting, he did her footprints on a plate, as part of my present (although he hadn't realised it needed to go in the kiln so I didn't get it until after)
He'd booked her a baby sensory play session and obviously there's swimming there so did we that lots, which dd loves.

I actually had chance to read a few books, not done that since dd was born!

We had lots of chance to talk too about our other issues. So it as just what we needed really.
I guess I should have trusted him.

And thanks Katy07 only just seen your post.

He did do good SexLubeAnd and he's been really great since we got home too. We're trying dd with a bottle at the moment because mummy wants a night outshe's not impressed with it at all!
He's been great though, takes him about a hour to get her to drink a few ounces, but he's doing it every night in the hope she'll get used to it.
And in general he's seems much more confident and capable with her.
