[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I honestly think you're not thinking straight because of the money involved.  Forget the money.  It's a loss.  Do you REALLY feel ok leaving your 2 year old for a whole week?  [/quote]

Op here. I’d prefer it be closer to 5 nights, but yes I’m 100% ok with leaving my child for a week. I would not have architected the trip in this manner, but as a general matter yes I am ok with leaving my children at times (and I have done so for work, as has DH, and we’ve gone away together for short trips, but never in this manner with the whole family).

The thing is, this isn’t just about logistics for a work trip needing to be away from your kids, it’s the fact that it’s a family vacation for everybody except your two year old. And the vacation starts on Christmas Day. If you go through with your plan, I think you’re going to have [b]a lifetime of guilt. I promise you you’ll be working through this in therapy for years to come[/b]. Either cancel or bring him with you.[/quote]

Overdramatic, much? She's a SN mom. Their spare money will be going towards therapies for their kid. She can work on her issues when she is elderly.[/quote]
