[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thing you could do is ask your friends how they handled it when they had babies. Maybe they'll say there's a great sitter in the neighborhood or something. [/quote]

YES - this.  Presumably they had the house 5-6 years ago, too?  What did they do with the kids then?  And at 1 year old, your baby can manage one nap a day.  So you'll be alone with the baby (or DH will be alone with the baby) for 2-3 hours each afternoon.  Quite frankly, that sounds wonderful - sit on the patio and read a book or snooze yourself while the baby naps.

As for other activities - it's not get on a boat or stay home are your only options.  I bet a friend would be willing to join you and the baby for a stroll through the city or breakfast out one morning.  If your friends are kind, they'll be flexible and willing to adapt a little to accommodate the toddler once in a while.

It really does sound like you just don't want to go.  What would you be doing differently at home, OP?  It sounds like these are your options:

SAHM - hang out at home with baby and 5 year old while DH works
WOHM - be at work all day
Vacation Mom - hang out with friends and/or baby, get lots of down time.

Either way, sounds like a no brainer to me.[/quote]
