Am I right to be annoyed

My husband just rang me at asked if it's ok for him to go to Australia for a week with his mum as his mum's aunt who had dementia and he hasn't met or seen any of the family in the last 10 years to leave me behind to care for my autistic son who is having hell at school at the minute and next week police are getting involved to help and I have also been waking in the night with gallstones I have no family near buy and this is baby number three also the holiday would be a week he would loose with us postpartum which we had planned out so he could help with school runs in Jan with me home with newborn, his brother hasn't been invited and his mums partner isn't either but she wants him and her to go this Sunday?

It’s unreasonable for him to be going and leaving you to deal with that alone. His mum has other people that could go with her. It doesn’t need to be him.

I just don't understand because this is the second time he had tried to have a holiday away and I get that one of the days there would be a funeral but he never knew her and noone else in the family is going I keep having to ring the triage at the hospital because I wake up in agony and what if I need to rush in to hosp there is no-one to have the kids or come with me I tried to explain that I wouldn't of even needed to ask if I can go if it was the other way around I would say my priority is being there for my family at the minute sorry take your partner his mum would love the two of them going away why she even asked him is beyond me at the moment then he tried saying she had invited us all to go but that I wouldn't be able to fly so they can't but I can ?

It's very short notice specially considering you have other children. The least he could do is ensure you have someone there with you to help you on the day to day until he comes back...

It is 2 days away for a week and my nearest family are two hours away and I have been constantly waking up worried and not sure if I would need to go to the hospital and then leave the boys so being alone just makes my anxiety even worse incase of emergency if it was close family I would be more understanding and try make plans and get my mum to take some time of work and me be with me but he met this woman once in his life and is happy to loose a week with his newborn to go when his mum could take her partner? Doesn't make any sense to me and has really made me think today he truly doesn't understand what I'm going through at the moment at all 😕

You didn’t specify the funeral in your post but I’ve just seen it in your comment. Death does funny things to people. I would sit down with your partner and have the conversation and make a decision together. A funeral isn’t a holiday but I can totally see how with everything else going on, this feels quite a wild idea! X

Tell him to stay there, flippin idiot 😂🤡

Hopefully by walking through the logistics of how things would work without him he'll see it's not a great idea. Alternatively if he feels he has to go he may have to take a couple of kids with him to share the burden 😉

@Lily not didn't type out yes he met the woman once in his life so not close at all he has decided to stay home after I said it wasn't right to go at this time so his mum is now taking his nice and going for a ten day holiday travelling round X

*Niece god my autocorrect is terrible

@Jessica we are of to Scotland for 4 days this month for a trip away while my mum has the kids so 🤞 x

Also if you end up having a c section - you will need him with you for those 2 weeks. It is to support his mum I'm guessing but he has a family of his own to watch out for now x
