[quote=Anonymous]Its one thing to think about doing this and having your DW on board with you doing it. 
It is an entirely different thing for you to sit here and complain that your wife won't go unless yo guilt her into it. 
Put on your big boy pants, she said you can go. Do it and shut your mouth about it already. 
The last thing she wants right now is to feel guilty for keeping you from your DC over Xmas by refusing to go. That is such an unfair position to put her in.

I agree 100% with the above poster who disagrees with the 'help' you will ahve and with the greatness of staying in one large house. 
Trust me. You would want your own hotel room or cabin. Staying iwth tons of people will only be way more stress than any $$ savings with a kid. 
The kid's routine is off due to different location and possible time change. THe atmosphere is different, her bed is different, there are people she does NOT know or trust around her constantly. You want your family to retire to their rooms at 7:30 when you put DD down? You want them all up at the crack of dawn when DD wakes up? 
You can't expect them to help watch your kid and your wife will spend the entire week just running around after the kid, trying to keep it out of trouble or occupied or asleep. Yeah, sounds like great fun. 
Go, enjoy yourself. Sleep in and then thank your wife when you get home by allowing her to do the same. [/quote]
