[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]	Your title makes it sound like he’s on a guys’ trip while everything at home is breaking.. but you already know that. 
If you miss him, go home, he’s your husband, nobody can keep you two apart unless you both agree, and certainly for the weekend, nobody can make you each take a kid and spend it separately. 
Op, it was a cold rainy weekend here last weekend. I wouldn’t have wanted to be parenting solo from a mental health perspective. I just wouldn’t. I also wouldn’t want to be home with one kid while my husband sent me cute pics of a trip I wasn’t on, not last weekend at any rate, I’m not kidding when I say the only thing that made the nasty weather on Saturday bearable was that my husband and I were together. We had a fun night at church Friday, and our kids had activities on Saturday so we were plenty busy, but yes, parenting on a weekend that is gross and cold during a time that is usually family time, coupled with the needs of a younger child (you knew what you were doing by taking the older one and getting out of Dodge), would not have made me too responsive to my husband either. That may sound nutty, but I am by no means the “cool wife” and I can run my marriage however I like. It’s doubtful that your 5-year-old and you share an interest that your husband and 3-year-old can’t share. That may change, but not yet.

Sounds like you’re looking for a fight or read to many parenting books on how each kid needs individual time, otherwise they will grow up totally unfit for society. If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, stop and come home. Your husband will be glad to see you and there’s all kinds of stuff you can do as a family here.

You're jumping to a lot of conclusions pp. [b]Her husband could have gone but doesn't value traveling[/b] so she decided to take one kid instead of two. Sounds reasonable. [b]Why does he get to stay home child-free? [/b]Maybe she was visiting her parents. Maybe they don't have the funds to all together. We don't know but ignoring each other for 1.5 days isn't right. [/quote]

She said he doesn't value vacations and is stressed at work, and he is staying home with the 3 yo. I don't think the PP is jumping to conclusions on this one. OP seems like a difficult person.

Op seems difficult because she values taking vacations and her stressed husband who needs one doesn't. Okay. [/quote]

She's resentful he doesn't want to take trips as a family. Traveling with kids can be stressful but he can't just opt out completely. [/quote]
