To expect DH to help out with dog?

[Sweaty84]

My friends are a bit cheeky. Often asking for favours.

They've asked me, DH (we've got 2 young DC) to look after their dog for 2 weeks. We all love their dog, especially our DC. She's pretty hyper but v sweet and we have looked after her for weekends a few times

DH is grumpy because it says it stops us being free to do spontaneous things with DC.

But it's us or kennels.

I want to take the dog and think it will be fun. DH says fine but he won't do anything for dog, no walks, no poos, nothing.

I said fine we won't have the dog but DH then felt guilty. We are at a stalemate.

AIBU to expect him to help a little bit and not be so grumpy?

BTW he is off work for most of those 2 weeks and I'll be working from home.

The people pleasing thing isnt his problem.

You arent paying for a nanny all summer, you BOTH I would have thought and presumably she/he is paid for anyway as part of a yearly contract so hardly like you are paying her for purely for 6 weeks out of your own pocket while he makes no contribution to her/his salary. So hes just having free time when she would be there anyway.

Haven’t RTFT but bored unreasonable. What I will say and apologies if other people have said yeh same is, if you say yes to the friend you are dig sitting every flipping holiday she goes on for the life of the dog.

say no now

Get a dog sitter who's willing to live in while you're on vacation.
And to the mum who thinks this would be great fun for herself and her children, why don't you go stay at your friend's home. And quit expecting your husband to spend his time off dog-sitting.
