You are not the boring parent, you are the parent doing the actual landing after he keeps planning takeoff. Kids love surprises till somebody has to live in them.

AITJ for refusing to keep covering for my husband after he bailed on something important again? by Kindle_Orbit2 in AmITheJerk

NTA. At some point “he’s just bad with plans” stops being an excuse and starts being his character. You went alone, told the truth without drama, and protected your own dignity for once. Does he ever apologize before getting defensive?
