DH threatening to spoil holiday if raining

[Loudlady34]

Anyone else's parter horrible like this. He is a nice man and a nice dad in general. I understand he's feeling dissapointed because you expect nice weather in August.
When we were looking to book, My husband wanted to go abroad. I didn't want to as it was over 3k and I thought it would be too hot for our young kids. So we are going to a UK holiday park with activities.

Now he's blaming me because the weather's bad. Saying we should have gone abroad." If it rains I'll be making it clear I'm not happy" etc. How is that beneficial for anyone. I feel like not going now

Personally I would have missed the hol and had a few day trips, alton towers etc. Then put money towards hol next year. Butlins, Haven all them types of hols are full of absulte chavs. Fat, loud adults getting hammered while their kids run haywire. No thanks.

@youarenotkiddingme

The hail left all the cars covered in dents! It was unbelievable!

OP, you say you weren't expecting bad weather during your UK holiday. How long have you lived in the UK?

We fully expect bad weather during the British "summer" which is why we always go abroad, long or short haul. And if it's too hot we just jump into the pool or go for a dip in the sea.

Hi just a quick update we are at butlins this week. The weather has been fab so far. The entertainment has been fantastic. The kids have got huge smiles on their faces and everyone here seems lovely. Our accommodation is beautiful. Hubby has been quite quiet and made a few references to Spain but I actually saw him laugh and smile tonight so I think he's relaxing into it now. Thanks for all the comments

I've just read all comments back now so will add more info for those questioning me.

My husband is a very serious man. He doesn't enjoy "kids stuff" which is fair enough. But unfortunately when you have kids you have to do kids stuff. We spoke about it in depth. My parents hardly did kids stuff with me and it was shit, I was dragged around shopping centres etc. My husband had a similar childhood, being taken to garden centres, going to pubs but being made to sit down with family and not use the play area there for an example. We never went on days out or holidays that were for us. We decided we wanted to do everything we could to make our kids childhoods enjoyable. It was his idea 100% to go to Disney, and it's also his idea 100% to return to Disney this next time because the children enjoyed it so much.
Now I know not everything should be centred around the kids but for those saying we should go where we as adults want to go / or you can actually relax in Spain... Hahahahhaa ..... I have a a child with adhd who needs constant entertainment and stimulation. How could I possibly lie sunbathing?? Even for 5 minutes????
Yes it was my idea to go to butlins but its worked out for the best so I'd say I made the best decision. We also go to Disney in cooler months of the year so hear is 18 to 25 degrees. I won't be commenting further as I think some people on here have quite snobby views.

For me, it's abroad holidays all the way and I'm completely with him about UK weather being too temperamental to be able to guarantee a good holiday. Just my opinion. Yabu to use the reason that it would be too hot for the kids. The finances are, of course, a valid argument.

But threatening to spoil the holiday. Yup, he's a dick!

I can understand him being disappointed, I certainly an when it rains on holiday.

If he starts kicking off, tell him to go somewhere else then. Do you need him there?

this thread is a good example as to why it's a rubbish idea to start threads about what are minor incidents.

I mean, doesn't everyone start bickering when you're packing for a holiday and getting the wobbles over your chosen destination??

I'm glad you're having a good holiday OP. I hear what you're saying about DPs dragging you on non enjoyable holidays- mine were exactly the same - so I can see to an extent why you've gone the other direction.
Hope the weather holds !

Have a lovely time OP. You sound like a nice person and a lovely mum.
