[quote=Anonymous]To the OP if you are still out there:

Wading through the nonsense, a few PPs have given helpful advice.  You have to look honestly at your own reasons for not going.  None of us truly know how difficult your 1 year old is, how helpful your DH is or isn't, how much this kind of trip would be fun for your older child, or how cool/helpful your friends are.

Some people find having time alone in a new place to be a godsend.  Other people would be miserable alone with the baby in a strange house while everyone else was elsewhere having fun.  Some people wouldn't mind having schedules disrupted, some people would, and often for valid reasons. Some friends are cool and helpful, some are not.  Some people love to vacation in new places, some people prefer to be at home or travel to see family. Some people prefer a week at home with no work or other obligations to recharge.

The point its, you need to think about what it is that really makes you not want to go and be honest with your DH about it.  If you are open to DH taking the older child without you and you think the friends would be cool about it, you could stay home with the baby.  If your DH can step up and truly co-parent, could you consider giving it a try?

In the end, it's your family taking the vacation and you need to find the compromise that will work best for your family.

Ignore all the DCUM nastiness trying to tell you that what they do is the only way.   [/quote]
