my mum has offered to pay for us to go, we can't fit dp in the car anyway.Its for 4 days.

his big gripe that we are a family and we should go on holiday together and we haven't had a holiday together as a family yet.

but on the other hand he is a miserable git anyway, he does nothing but moan at the kids and I desperately need a break from him.

He isn't talking to me. Am i being unreasonable.. I need answers quick before my mum books it!

YANBU.

Why can't he be happy that you and the kids get a break.

He needs to grow up.

he sounds like a right catch

imo the holiday is not the issue here

your dp needs to sort himself out

is he depressed do you think?

Thanks drnorthener

I don't think he is right oliveoil. He is doing my head in and we are all miserable. He wants a job, applies for them gets turned down but won't look at alternatives.

I hate being on benefits. I got turned away for a cleaners jobs because of my degree.

We are all stuck in a rut. Its horrible.

LOL sheepgomeep, if you're applying for cleaners jobs it's probably not a good idea to show you've got a degree in quantom physics (or whatever) on the application form

Good luck with the job hunting though - enjoy the holiday.

You have such a low opinion of your dP..why are you with him?

I would have let my mum take the kids but I wouldn't go away and leave their dad at home if he wanted to come..I'd be heartbroken if he did that to me
