[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is the only trip we take basically and my son never sees his dad because of work etc. DH has a very demanding schedule and works most weekends. My son lives to be with him when he can. My MIL is very controlling and everything is her way or no way. I am not controlling and my husband has many hobbies and gets free time when he isn't working anytime he would like. I don't restrict him from doing anything. At home I'm basically a single mom so trips together are special. His mother has no respect for our family and us wanting to do things as a family with her included. She can come visit anytime as finances are far from an issue for her and she doesn't work so between her life of going on lavish trips around the world (as she should. I'm not shaming her for that at all), she could come visit and get her alone time. But instead she demands us to come to her but doesn't like us to really be with her but an hour a day except for her alone time with DH. My son has no clue who she is. It's sad but anyways I hate the alone time thing when we are on trips. DH said he would talk to her about leaving me the car. The hotel doesn't have an indoor pool but a restaurant. My 3 yo in a restaurant leaves much to be desired. I'm sure we can uber to a park if DH has the car.[/quote]

First and foremost, this is a YOU problem. Your husband is sackless. He really said that he “would talk to his mother about leaving you the car???” Like he needs her permission and will get back to you if she decides to grant it. BARF! I would never accept that as an answer from my husband. I would tell my husband that I am dropping him off for his alone mommy date and he can Uber back when he’s ready. Period. Zero reason for him to “talk” with his mother about anything related to our rental car and our plans. She doesn’t have a vote. Come on OP. Stand up for yourself! Your husband clearly won’t so you have to.[/quote]
