You are acting like a petulant child.  Back before you knew about the daycare issue, she very generously agreed to you going out there over Christmas week while she worked and took care of your baby by herself during non-working hours.  You were getting a week-long vacation at her expense.  Now that daycare is going to be closed, she could have said you needed to cancel the trip and stay home to take care of the baby so she could work, but she didn’t.  Instead, she told you to go ahead with your week-long responsibility-free vacation, and she would work it out on the home front. But instead of being appreciative that your wife has gone above and beyond to accommodate your desire to go on this vacation, you are punishing her for not completely bending to your will.  As I type it out, it’s actually a bit worrisome how you are retaliating against her for not letting you completely call the shots.[/quote]

Sorry, I just don't see it that way

It's not that great of a vacation without my whole family

I make sacrifices to be with her family but I'm not feeling like it's totally reciprocated

That being said .. with the situation unlikely to change, I will try to view it as a fun responsibility free vacation [/quote]
