Made arrangements with family to do a post Xmas weekend away...one of whom is my daughter who we won't have seen for ages as she's travelling (we all live in different parts of the UK) We agreed on a weekend we could all do.

DH has said today he can't make it because he forgot and he's also made plans to visit his sister to go to a show they both want to see and it's only on that weekend (she also lives away, sees her about 5 times a year)

I think he should stick to the original plan but he thinks we could get together another weekend (but there's 6 of us involved so getting dates when we are all free can be tricky). I can see his point about wanting to see his sister this particular weekend but I still think we should honour the prior arrangement and I really want to catch up with my DD (I will go regardless but he will take the car so it'll be harder for me to get there, we only have one car)

Why would he take the car?

He either goes on his own without the car or he doesn't go. If he dicks about with dates it's his problem not yours.

I guess his thinking is it's easier to get to where I'm going by train than it is for him. It is still very much up for debate.

Well he is the one who is changing the plan so he is the one who needs to make alternative arrangements (in terms of travel at least).

I can see why he wants to see his sister and that show, but it's shitty to drop you in it. Will your DD mind not seeing him?

He's just told me he's let his sister know that he can't go...so we are sorted. What a waste of a thread! He was adamant he was going half an hour ago.
