Is anyone else husband the same? I’ve literally had enough of doing everything

[BeWarmPoet]

Sitting at home whilst husband has gone to work, we were supposed to be having a family day out but he announces last night he has a job to do this morning and should be home by 1. Then we can go. My point of view is by 1 we’ve missed half the day and what is even the point by then. If he gets homes at 1(it’ll more likely be 2) and by the time we’re ready to go it’ll be even later. We are also suppose to be booking a holiday for the six weeks which we’ve only 4 weeks left now! But it’s up to me to find and book everything.

It all sounds so petty but I’ve just had enough of it all, every weekend/school holidays are the same.

I’m going with kids this morning on my own. He’ll have to miss out.

That does sound frustrating, when you were looking forward to family time and he cancels for work. I think taking the children out by yourself is a good idea! Do you also work? Id get onto booking the holiday,.just because it's nice to have one even if you do have to do the planning yourself.

What does he do that he is having to work on a Saturday morning OP? Is he the main earner?

Its frustrating but can't you go out for your family day tomorrow instead?

This is the solution! I was about to say do this. Have a nice day.

For the holiday, set a deadline for it to be booked in a few days time and have some options ready (annoying that you will have to do all the research but do it this time). If he cannot choose/ doesn’t sort his AL/ won’t discuss it properly then book for you and the kids. Invite a friend or family member if you can. You and kids don’t miss out because of DH.

Definitely go, and say you opted out. Our kids deserve days out. Tell him to pay a bit more attention because at the moment he’s opting out of having a family and you hope that’s intentional. Book the holiday, go without him. I went through a phase where my dh was only invited on holidays he booked.
