[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be constructive with your DH.  Eight days is a long time flying solo with young kids.  Can your mother help with childcare - his mother? Now that your Mom is paying can you afford a babysitter for a couple of hours over dinnertime / bedtime. Throw him a bone.

And get on top of the family finances....[/quote]

Yes, I am hoping to find a constructive place for this discussion. Again, this trip isn't perfect in my mind either, but it is hard for me to be objective on it because I need to make a quick decision and convince him to be supportive or at least neutral to let me make a clear decision.

The kids are not that young and we have a part time nanny. The reason we are tracking finances is that DH is a spendthrift, and I am a saver.   Again, we need to tweak cash flow, we are not broke or going broke, although he might believe it because we had big expenses in the spring for transportation and hotel for the family vacation and I have been trying to get him to focus on what he is spending.

Mom can't do childcare while I am gone on this trip. [/quote]
