[quote=Anonymous]Have you done any overnight trips with the babies yet? If so, how did they go?

If not - which is the first trip? If it's the wedding, then I would definitely plan to go to the wedding, all four of you, and the only thing I would insist upon at this stage is that planning for the other trips be with an eye to having the option to cancel. Refundable tickets, etc. Keeping family expectations in check. Then see how the first trip goes and go from there.

If the trip that's not for any specific reason is first, I think its really really reasonable to push back and suggest cancelling that trip or postponing until after Christmas once you both know how travel goes for you and the babies. You don't want to burn all four of you out on a very optional trip in advance of two trips that are more special opportunities (the weddings). You're a parent, too, and if you think it's too much for both you and the babies, and you also don't want to be apart from the babies, that's totally reasonable.

Big note: Are you an equal partner in childcare? Are you both back at work? Does she regularly take care of both babies solo? Do you regularly take care of both babies solo? If the answer to all of those questions is yes, great, but if not... you've got less of a leg to stand on (particularly if she regularly cares for the babies solo and you don't). [/quote]
