[quote=Anonymous]We have 2 young children and the preschooler's "dream" is to visit Legoland. I think he is at a prime age to go and would like to take him this year. I take care of my MIL who moved in with us after a few years in a nursing home, because my husband (only child) was not happy about the quality of care, was feeling guilty. I was not happy but I supported him because I would want to do the same for my mother in the same situation (already dead).

Anyway, I can't go by myself with preschooler because I would also have to bring the baby and I can't imagine how I would go on the rides with my older one. Husband doesn't want to put his mother in a nursing home for respite care because he feels she got in a nice schedule now and is doing really well - he doesn't want to mess it up. So he suggested he take our preschooler by himself and I stay home with his mother and our infant.

In one hand, I think this time could be great for father/son bonding, and a great memory. Besides, I have traveled with him (child) MANY times by myself and husband was always supportive. On the other hand, I can't help but feel resentful, if nothing else,  because I am worried how this situation will play in the future. Are we never to take family vacations anymore while his mother is alive? I don't know what he is thinking because he says he needs time to consider the options.

Anyway, I am feeling very resentful right now.[/quote]
