To be annoyed at DH for this

I'd asked DH weeks ago to book today off as there was an event on near us that we were going to take our 2 DC to. It was booking only (due to covid rules) so after he said he'd book it off I booked tickets for us all to go. So I reminded him a couple of times as it approached (he forgets things easily).
Yesterday morning I asked one last time if he had definitely got tomorrow off work to go. And he said why? And I said to take DC to event. He hadn't booked it off so I said can you please just ask today.
He wasn't allowed to take the time off on short notice but he then followed with excuses like he is busy at the moment at work, his forgetfulness is getting worse at the moment, he can't just book off the day before.
I'm quite upset, it was supposed to be nice afternoon as a family which we haven't had in a while.
I took the children myself but we had to leave early as it was a bit of a handful with the 2 of them.
AIBU to think he shouldn't be forgetting like this and is he just doing it not to spend time with us? Because that's how it's coming across.

I hope so, I think he gets very embarrassed by it

Which is fine but that doesn't mean he should just ignore the issue. If it is something like dyspraxia then he needs to start trying to make positive steps to manage it. Burying his head in the sand and expecting others to miss out is honestly not an acceptable way of coping.

I agree with the other poster who said about dyspraxia.
If he is regularly clumsy and walks into things too then it could be a good indication.
Hope the talk with him goes well.
And remember to take care of yourself, even if that means finding somebody professionally to talk to for yourself Flowers
