[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have been married four years and we have a three year old.  We would like to go to Disney sometime this fall.  I'm ready to book.  My husband has two older children who are 10 and 12.  Our budget is limited.  So, we are planning the vacation for just myself, my husband, and the three year old. If we bring his two older kids, we will have to pay for another room, the price of park tickets, and plane tickets.  I'm guessing an extra $2000!  Basically, we can't go if we all have to go.   The kids and the ex-wife are upset.  She talked to me yesterday at drop off and told me that I should bring all the kids and they feel like we don't love them as much as our three year old, etc.  They have been to Disney twice in their lives.  So, it's not like we are doing something for our son that they themselves have not received.  Custody is shared 50/50 and they spend every other week with us. 
Is it out of line for us to vacation without them?  We have gone on other trips without them too - my mother lives abroad and we visit her each year and do some sightseeing with her.  We only bring my son.
I try to be a good step-parent.  I cook for them, drive them places, go to their sports' games and other activities.  Give us some advice on what to do about Disney  Thanks![/quote]
