Lots of people in my family are planning to go on holiday next summer. Cousins uncle auntie etc are all going. None of them have children so it's going to be a very laid back boozy week. A few days ago I suggested that I go on my own without dp and the kids cos he hates going on holiday anyway and never wants to go to other countries and obviously with a baby and toddler on my own it's going to be far from enjoyable if you ask me. Now he's saying he's not going to take the days off work to look after them so I can go, even though he's been to Ibiza for a week on a stag do and twice has been to a festival that's been 4/5 days away. But now I'm not allowed to enjoy a week away with my family on my own because it's my family and I should take the kids apparently. I don't have any friends so there's no way I would be going on a hen do or anything like that so I would see this as my chance to let my hair down. So disappointed that he sees it ok for him to go where he likes without the kids but for me I should take them.
