Does this sound like a nightmare to you as well?

DH suggests a vacation with family friends that have younger children. OP says that seems like a bad idea because the other kids will ruin it. DH says you are being antisocial because you don't want to bond with our friends.

DCUM: DH is an abusive, adulterous, absentee dad.

I'm surprised the bolded doesn't happen more often if this typically how you interpret threads. Much of your "quick rundown" isn't really here and is quite the stretch on your part. Get some help with your reading comprehension skills, maybe. I don't know.


All OP really needs to know is do the dads plans to help with childcare, or not. Pretty simple.

The dad’s will probably try to drink beer and hang out while the moms handle the kids. It already sounds like the dad’s are the driving force behind these family friends.

I'd be even more concerned about my spouse calling me "antisocial" than about the prospect of what sounds like a bad vacation and a waste of a week off.

Does he often call you names, OP?

This is a red flag according to dcum consensus. Vacations with other families mean affairs.

Your husband obviously has no idea how much work young kids are. Probably never helped you with your kids when younger. You will be stuck in the "mom" zone taking care of the kids while he is thinking about drinking with his buddy.

Yeah, I'm really stretching the comments here.

I take plenty of trips with my kids and other families. I would never categorize them as vacation. They are simply kid centric trips with other families.

I never found the beach all that relaxing with very young kids. It’s beautiful for a short time but the beach is a lot of work. And they get bored.
