A question for the ph massive

hubby asked me about a month ago about booking a week in france,I declined to comment,thought we could discuss at a later date,

He only gone and booked it no discussion,i am absolutely furious...
This is a family holiday and he had no right to book without discussion.
I feel railroaded.

Am I being selfish.
Is he being controlling.

No discussion about which villa which area etc,
atm I dont think I will be going

Isn't very nice not to discuss it. Would it just be him paying or a joint thing?

If you dont want to go let him take all the kids and you have a week off

Can understand how you feel - but think of it as a free surprise holiday. Not bad really.

Why not discuss it at the time of him raising the issue?

I don't understand that bit to be honest.

Not in doubt. But you can't go back in time.

on that point, how about the "go but take no decisions" route? or is that just my perverse mind

So not only does he need an appointment to talk to you, you also need more than a months notice to consider any item to be discussed?.

Poor bugger. It's no wonder he's booked a holiday.
He deserves one for putting up with treatment like that.

BTW, how much notice does he have to give in order to get his leg over?

You realise of course, since you've aired your views in the public domain, that from now on you are NEVER allowed to accuse the gentleman in question of not being decisive enough, always leaving the arrangements up to you and generally not taking an interest.

PS enjoy your trip

Is it school half-term already, or are you two usually allowed up this late?

You had your chance about a month ago. The problem is, you never gave it enough thought and by the sound of it poo pooed his sugestions. Bad move, the hunter gatherer / provider has provided you with a holiday and your mad about it. I had an EX WIFE who was ungrateful
