To take kids on holiday without DH?

[5FootMama]

DH never organises/thinks about family holidays. I suggest a place tell him to book dates, well in advance, multiple times. He forgot to book for this May half term and hasn't got his leave approved. (I first asked him to book on 26 November!)

Now he's sulking because I'm taking the kids any way...

This is probably the 4th time he's not booked in time.

Leave him sulking and have a fab holiday with your littlies.

He needs to learn that actions (or inactions!) have consequences. You go on holiday, he doesn’t. Perhaps in future, he will get his leave request in on time.

I'd go and also be furious with him. Shouldn't be necessary, but after the first time of fucking it up I'd be hounding him every day until the leave was booked.

It's not you job to book his leave, ( and you've already booked then organised everything fucking else for you and the kids to go !)so just tell him he'll have to suck it up, because you and the kids shouldn't have to miss out because HE can't fucking organise himself !

And I'd add that after doing this previously, he doesn't deserve any damn sympathy either !

Families don't have to do everything togther. I always have more leave than DH so regularly go away with just the DC.

Why should you all suffer for his incompetence?

You are the one who should be sulking, he has no right to be.
