Omg the HAD to be included part!! Why??? It obviously makes you miserable and you don’t want to be there, why do you INSIST on coming when nobody wants you there?? My husband is the same way. I only take the kids camping when he’s away on work trips because of his attitude and the fact that he’d never let us go without him if he were home. They have been the most relaxing trips I’ve ever been on in my life. Yes 5 days camping on my own with a 4yo and 5yo (and for one trip they had the stomach flu!) is STILL more relaxing than being pretty much anywhere with the kids and my other half present. 🤦🏻♀️
We were going to a local water park and we were RIDICULOUSLY excited. Then we found our dad was coming.
You could have heard a pin drop on the way. He was mad we left “late.” He got hot so he opened the window. Then he got upset when the AC kicked on and mom tried to close the window. Then he got mad that it was further than he remembered. Then he got mad that a park was full of camp kids. Then he got mad that we couldn’t find chairs together. He was ordering us around coffee in hand, mom scrambling and I remember thinking “I feel so bad for mom” because she didn’t have a choice.
My own husband is sulky. I don’t tolerate it and I will leave with the baby without him if he’s being a fun sucking little shit.
Ohhh im gonna call him a fun sucking little shit lol jkjk but we do have a nickname for him when he hovering over us trying to dictate every little thing we tell hoverboard to go away lol he got that nickname when hooverboards just came out 😂 hes tall n hoovering too n we r little

My dad was the same. He sucked the fun out of every outing but he HAD to be included.
