[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my dh told me gardening and not boarding the dog and work took priority over spending two weeks together, I would be upset and giving them grief too.

It's just two weeks OP. I am sure a neighbor would gladly look after the garden if you allow them to harvest the ripe tomatoes, and that some boarding facility will be available for your dog. [/quote]

OP here. Wow, I'm surprised my little complaint got so much feedback!

It isn't that gardening, etc. take priority over spending two weeks together. It's that I'd rather spend 2 weeks together HERE instead of THERE. I cannot imagine asking my neighbors to take care of my garden and boarding the dog for 2 weeks seems cruel. I also don't have anyone available to take care of him; all good friends either have cats or allergies or will be on vacation themselves.

The vacation involves travel to my inlaws on the west coast and it's too expensive to fly out there twice in one summer to do two 1 week vacations. I didn't specify that because the inlaws aren't the issue; they are lovely people and we end up not spending too much time with them, as DH loves to run around with the kids to local sights, to the beach (yep, I hate the beach), and to visit his friends and none of it sounds appealing to me. It's just go-go-go. I can beg off on some of the excursions, but that just means staying in the house and reading or watching tv, which isn't what I want to do either. It will take up all my vacation time, my work will pile up (I'm not a workaholic, but I do have to work extra before and after time away), and I guess I like my routine. 1 week seems plenty. We usually go for about 1 week and I start itching to get back home about 2 days prior to our departure date, but he wants to extend, probably because we had to skip last year.    [/quote]
Well, that is pretty different than I hate vacations, I can't leave my garden and my dog and I am too stressed from going on vacations.
If you said you don't want to spend two weeks visiting his family and friends, I bet you we would all be on your side. So, which is it? You hate vacations or your just hate vacations that every single one of us would hate. Not a vacation but seeing his family and friends.[/quote]
That’s why I didn’t want to say all that. It’s not as if I want to go somewhere else for 2 weeks either. I mean, maybe a once in a lifetime amazing trip, sure. But any place that’s actually feasible? I don’t want to go. I like my inlaws; I like his friends, so that’s not really it. I just would rather be home. I’ll talk to him again about shortening it or coming home early.[/quote]
