We're going away at easter with our DC (so next week) just for a cheapish week in Spain. DH has a teen DS, who unfortunately isn't able to come due to GCSE revision.

We want to make sure DSS gets a holiday with us in the summer after his GCSEs, but would need to be in summer hols because of our own DC and school terms (so v expensive).

We both earn ok and split holidays where we can.

My AIBU is that DH is refusing to look at summer holidays now, as we're going away next week. My argument is that I am fed up of the last minute nature of all of DHs planning, and I've found a reasonable option for august and the prices might go up - I don't think I should be expected to pay more if we split the cost if the prices go up (if its even still available it might not be!) be DH refuses to look now.

I can't even just book something with a deposit as he just won't agree to pay it, and I don't/can't cover the entire cost myself.

WDYT?

@Dunnocantthinkofone this is an absolutely fair and valid point.

I was going to book a Christmas experience (willing to foot the bill for the very expensive tickets myself) if he paid the spending money (much less). He said let’s assess when we get there. I didn’t book the tickets. Just hate that DC miss out due to this tbh.

Go without him

You really have a controlling dishonest waster on your hands.
You cannot trust him.
Stop having children with him and start saving money so you are able to leave if necessary.
Your children deserve better.

Tell him the teams fucked off to Venezuela because they booked last June when it was cheaper!
