[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a SAHM I spent 2-3 weeks every summer taking my kids' to see my family in CA.  DH usually did not come.  Occasionally he'd come for a few days and we'd go somewhere for a few days.  In our case, it was because he has limited vacation time that he'd prefer to save for more interesting trips and also that he'd get bored (he likes my parents so that wasn't an issue).  I don't think my family ever thought it was odd.

If you are a SAHM then, yeah, probably hard to make the case for not going without causing some bad feelings.  In that case I'd go but be firm about carving out time for yourself.  But, if you are working and have to use precious vacation time for this annual trip, I think it's perfectly reasonable to go for just a few days and then let DH finish off the time on his own with the kids.

I think SAHMs have a right to say no to something like this.  If this is going to be the one vacation that their family takes during the year (do to her husband's limited vacation leave) - yes, she has a say in where that vacation is.  Strange you think that this is only the working spouse's call.  I don't agree.[/quote]
