Just looking for perspective as I don't feel I am being unreasonable but I'd like to be told if you think I am?
Family member has asked if I want to go away with her for a couple of days to a holiday home couple of hours away, family members dh isn't going as he will be working and my DP will be working those days too. Family member doesnt work and I work part time with my days off being the days we would go away for.
As both partners are working we thought it could be a girly getaway although I will have to take my nearly 2yo as she still Bf's to sleep and throughout the night (otherwise I would have no problem leaving her to have a nice break!) I suggested to my DP he could join us on the weekend if he wanted to as will family members dh no doubt. I will prob come home on Saturday, family member may stay longer.

Just to give the whole picture, my DP is what most of mumsnet would call a dick to put it nicely, he doesnt spend much time 1-2-1 with dd, I run the household and he works full time. I also work part time but we both contribute equally financially. DP also has plenty of time to himself for gym and hobbies and I dont as I look after DD whenever I'm not working.

Anyway so when I pitched the idea to DP he is annoyed that I want to take DD away for 2 days and he won't get to see her. He had no problem going away for the weekend himself for a mates stag do prior to covid though so I'm trying to understand the difference?

We have several weekend trips and a holiday planned for when all restrictions are lifted so it's not like this will be the only time we could get away. And like I said I'd be happy to leave dd if I could. AIBU, it's only 2 days?

You’re right, he’s a dick.
