[quote=Anonymous]I want to add that I am a DW who honestly would not care if you went on this trip given the child's age. 
What i would have an issue with is you holding any resentment toward me for NOT going and not wanting to go. Especially since it would be unpaid and during one of the busiest travel times in the US.

What would give me pause further is if I suspected this would turn into an annual thing that we would be expected to attend each year. Somehow these reunions always end up being annually and there is no way in hell i would be promising every Christmas to your family no matter how fun they are. Just no way. Double no since travel is involved.

you need to know your priorities and hopefully, they align with your wife. Don't assume just because she is fine with you going this year, you get a pass each year. And don't assume just because your kid is too young to travel this year that other years your wife and kid will gladly go.

Please be open and understanding that this may be the only year for a while that you or your family attends and you need to stand up for that decision (or what ever you 2 decide) to your own family. Don't be the jerk husband who just doesn't get it
