Default Who sorts out the holidays in your house?

It occurred to me this morning that I always sort out mine and Bob's holidays and that his only contribution towards it is turning up on the day we go

I decide where we go, when we go, where we stay, what we see when when we're there, I plan the routes, the flights, the car hire, even what we'll wear

His excuse is that even if he decided it all we'd still do what I wanted anyway - as if that would happen

So it got me to thinking who does the holidays in your household?

I do....... sort of, well I delegate authority for the task downwards

Wimmins LOVE organising things like that.... similar in a way to ironing

On the contrary we only do it because we know if it got left to the menfolk it'd never happen.... similar in a way to ironing, shopping, cleaning, cooking etc etc

No that's exactly what happens in my house, I know because I have tried leaving it (in the name of science of course) and it just stays like it is until he runs out of whatever he needs

In that case, you may need a "The other half? I'd rather go with my mates!"

I think your other half is being clever in letting you do it..it just saves him the bother of you nagging at him when you got to your destination,and it ain't to your liking.Probably why he let's you do it,so it cant fall back on him..as for me i do it,but im not tied yet to any perticular woman.

She sorts it out I pay, keeps her happy and it gives her something else to moan about as well as doing the ironing, washing etc!!!!

I do the cooking though but leave the cooker for her to clean after again gives her something to moan at!!! She loves it really.
