Taking Mum on holiday

[Chatterbox98]

I suggested to my husband that we take my mum with us on holiday later this year he said yes ( I think expecting her to turn the offer down) anyway she has said yes she would like to come now husband has gone in to a mood. This isnt helped by the fact earlier this year we went away with his parents. So he feels both holidays we havent been alone.

I am pleased she is coming since loosing my Dad she hasn’t been abroad and as added bonus I am not away worrying about her on her own.

I am miffed though with husband and his reaction. I get a holiday just is would be lovely but surely we can do that next year?

So his parents get a holiday with you and your widowed mum doesn’t. Nice.?

He's being unreasonable. Your reasons for wanting to take her are completely valid. Although, I have been guilty of saying I'm ok with something, assuming the other party will say no 😂 they didn't. That's on me though, same for your husband. He said he was ok with it, if he's not, he should have said that to start with. Tell him to suck it up but agree that your next break is just the two of you.

My DD took me away just after I lost DH. I was out of it, but she pressed on with it. It was in this country, and luckily the weather was lovely. She and I went on our own.

It was an awful time, for me, but, although I didn’t want to go, I’m glad I did.

Look after your Mum for a while.🙂

Well isn't he just the definition of FAFO.

His parents got a holiday, why shouldn't your mum get one, especially if she's recently widowed. Tell your husband if he doesn't want to come he's welcome to stay home and you and your mam can go and have a girls trip 🙃

Tbf i take his point. Its nice must to have you time.
Too late for this one
Couldn't she be invited on the next one with his parents then you have your own family one

You had a conversation with him and he said he was ok with you inviting her. It's not your fault that he thought she wouldn't accept. He's just got to suck it up and learn the lesson. You don't invite people or agree to something, if you aren't prepared for them to accept! He's being unreasonable with you and you should tell him so. It might help him to come to terms with it by planning another break where it will be the two of you.

He shouldn't have agreed if he didn't mean it
