Mini rant coming up

I think that you could be over reacting a little, I know its stressful when you're just about to go away. I would pack up everything else and leave him responsible for packing his toilet bag and if he forgets it its his problem. Have a great holiday.

I can understand your frustration but I think you're over-reacting a little bit on this occasion tbh, as long as you've packed everything else and it's just H's washbag that needs to go in then try and relax. You have over 4.5 hours till you have to leave the house and not putting the washbag in till later isn't really going to cause any trouble is it?

Plus it's such a hot day I'd not want to shower properly and get ready till closer to leaving time if I was going on holiday...?

Relax with a cuppa and put your feet up for 30 mins or so xx

I totally agree with Allice. MrSun does his own packing, I can't be arsed to worry about what he's forgotten or needs left out, it's one of the only times he is held solely responsible for anything and if he leaves his toothbrush or razor behind then it's his tough luck.

I understand where you're coming from though, you just want it done and dusted but he is right, you've got 4 hours.

MrSun annoys me because he's really relaxed about things like this and then with about half an hour to go he starts faffing about and putting me on edge. Drives me insane.

Going somewhere nice?

WSS. I always end up in a row with MrSC when we're going away although to be honest in our household it's the other way round with me being the last minute person. I think you need to go a little bit 'surrendered wife' with this and decide that you are not going to allow it to annoy you - it's his washbag, his responsibility so let him worry about it (or not as the case may be). Just make sure your stuff is sorted and then have a relax - or if that's not possible, is there some last minute tidying in the kitchen/living room/garden you could be doing if you haven't already? I always think it's lovely to come back to a neat house (it's never neat when I'm in it!).

Yes, probably slightly unreasonable. I wouldn't object so much if it wasn't for the fact that because I can't put the washbag in the case, I can't put other things in that are waiting to go in. He's now up as he got woken by a text from his sister, but he's now sat next to me yawning his head of every 2 minutes.

I've done all the cleaning that need doing, notes for the people feeding the cat and other stuff. The only things I need to do are the bins, but they will be last minute. So it's just the packing.

I think I'm going to take your suggestions Hepburn and make myself a peppermint tea and sit down.

Funnily enough, he's just said to me "should I go and shower?" ?

Why are you doing the bins?? Smelly boy's job before he showers, me thinks! ?

it's a bit of a role reversal in my house. H would be packed the week before and it's usually me that faffs.
