Vacation Planning II

Cover1W's picture

I posted this on another blog but for the sake of updates -

One reason I don't get involved:

DH told me it "wasn't his fault" for not having a vacation scheduled in August with the SDs. I'm like, "What are you talking about? I tried seriously three times to get you to work with me on the schedule/reservations planning (it was to a local place that books fast). You wanted nothing to do with it." DH, "Well, I sometimes don't want to plan ahead like that. You should have just done it, I trust you." Me, "Oh no, I don't plan 'family vacations' for the four of us all alone. I need your input on it. I'm happy to plan stuff for just you and I but not all four." DH, "But you can." Me, "But I won't." Then he apologized and took the blame and said we likely won't go. I said that I would then likely cut back my time off from work to a long weekend instead.

DH, "Why did you only ask for four days off? Why not the whole week anyway, that's ridiculous." Me, "DH, I'm saving some of my vacation time for our 'Europe vacation' hopefully in near future. AND my time off was planned around the TBD vacation you didn't want to work on..." Etc., etc., finally DH says, "You just WANTED to go back to work on that one day didn't you, for a BREAK?" Me, "Yes, yes I did."

... Cool Cool Cool ...

My DH plans ahead for US, but skid plans are typically last minute. Last minute as in, we're going to such-and-such and leaving in 15 minutes. Have a nice time!! I'm not like PrincASS and PigPen who get up, throw on some wrinkled clothes (or the clothes from the previous day that they SLEPT in) and go. I need more than 15 minutes to shower and get ready, FFS.
