[quote=Anonymous]DH wants to go away for a week for our 10th anniversary and 40th birthdays. Kids will be 9, 8 and 17 months. We have gone away for 2-3 nights every year, sometimes twice a year, since the older two were 3 and 4. But now, with the baby, I am reluctant to go. I just don't want to leave the baby. I will be worried the entire time. I think I can go 2 nights, but that is the most I can do, and I would prefer not to go at all. 
DH's parents would watch the kids with our nanny being here most of the time too. Nanny would do the chaffeuring to activities, as usual. 
DHs parents really want to do it, but they are getting older and I worry it's alot for them. 
I could just refuse to go, but we definitely have one of those marriages where DH thinks I have dropped everything for the kids, and he constantly talks about how his parents just went about their adult lives and he turned out fine. You know the dynamic. This would just be more ammunition for him. 
I wouldn't say we have a terrible marriage, but this is an issue fraught with tension. 
Should I try and go for 3 nights? What's a good compromise?[/quote]
