To really struggle with my DH on this holiday with young kids

So as we all know holidays with young kids can be hard work. Ours are age 4 and just coming up to age 2. I’m normally at home with them a good chunk of the time so am used to the long mornings (they wake around 6am), and how antsy they get in the morning after a few hours, and then how scrappy they are again towards dinner time. But DH is less used to it and has been so tense, irritable and impatient at these times. Sometimes I feel like he’s treating me like another child for not getting out the house fast enough. He also gets in a panic about them eating when it gets to 5pm, running around the kitchen snapping at me. I feel, yeah, I know what the drill is, can you just relax a bit! So then I get cross with him and we’ve been getting on really badly on this holiday. Perhaps we just shouldn’t attempt holidays together until they’re older. I’ve also been feeling resentful that I always have to do 100% of holiday organisation and planning (as well as 100% of all our life admin as he just won’t engage with any of it), but that’s a separate issue, perhaps...
