To want to go on this holiday

There's somewhere I really, really want to take my DD with DH, I have lovely memories of going and want to do it before she starts school next year. It happens that it's quite expensive and going with multiple children and during school holidays is extortionate.

My sister, my child's auntie has said she'd come with us and just me, my sister and my DD outside of school hols, it would be affordable.

My husband has never ever made any noises about wanting to go here, in fact he's said before he thinks it's a bit of a waste of money which is why I always assumed if and when I could go, I'd go with a friend or family or even by myself with DD.

I mentioned to DH me and sis might look at booking it soon and he's now annoyed because he thinks it would be really unfair for DD to go but not his older children, DSS8 and DSD10.

It's not affordable for us to go all together in school hols (well into the thousands) and I'll miss the chance to go with DD once she starts school next year.

AIBU to think he's unreasonable to say we shouldn't go if he and older kids can't?

We have separate finances so I'd be paying the cost out of my own money so I don't see how he could demand I don't go but he's made me feel unreasonable for saying sorry he feels that way but I still want to go.

Get it booked and go and enjoy. Absolutely nothing wrong with what you're proposing.
