in wanting dh to come on holiday with us over bank holiday?

[misdee]

before anyone starts on the benefits people going on on hols, we have been asked if we want to join my parents at the family caravan down on the essex coast, its not like we're going anywhere fancy.

anyway, its not dh favourite place, he doesnt like it there, but i think it would be nice to all go away together again. he says he will stay here. i know he doesnt like it there, so dont want to pressure him. the girls will enjoy it there which is the main thing.

but iam feeling a bit put out.

we are going on a family holiday in june though altogether.

If you are all going away together as a family in June, then yes I think YAB(a bit)U.

It sounds like he's not being irrational, he knows the place and doesn't like it so why pressure him to go?

concentrate on having a lovely time together in June and be grateful you do have a dh who does want to go on holiday with the family. I wish I did.

I can see both sides Misdee.

If I were you, I'd just go for the w/end without him and enjoy yourself. Look forward to the holiday in June!

I know you want him there, but if he's anything like my DH he'll only sulk if you make him go.

Meant to say, you are not being at all reasonable in wanting him to go.

yes he would sulk a bit lol.

spero, i know i am being a little unreasonable. but after dh spending the best part of 3 years in hospital, i do like to spend time with him, even if he does drive me bonkers lol.

I know. Maybe after three years in hospital DH needs some time to himself at home to really feel home again. I know that I love it when DH takes DD out and I have the house to myself, some real me time. It doesn't mean that I love them less, just that I like my own space sometimes.

i might leave him a list of jobs

O your poor DH and poor you! That must have been awful for everyone. So you are probably being less unreasonable than I originally thought.

But give him three days of 'me time' and then he'll have no excuse not to enjoy a lovely family holiday in June.
