[quote=Anonymous]Here is what you need to do. First you need to realize that all younger couples go through this faze. My DH and I barely saw each other for the first several years of our marriage. I worked regular hours and he worked late afternoon till early morning hours. We made the effort to meet during my lunch break. We didn't have kids at that time.  This doesn't mean that the rest of the world and families disappear. It is normal for young couples to be jealous of everything and everybody else, this goes away older you get. According to your own words, your DH is not neglecting you because he wants to, but because you work.  On the other hand you "allow" him hobbies right?  Is he in fact having any hobbies right now? Or is he spending all of his minimal free time with your and his son? You are lonely being a SAHM and hence needy of his time and attention. It is tough being home alone with a small child. It might seem to you that you never see him, and if that is actually a fact, then your really need to reevaluate your relationship. Your MIL might be needy and nuts, who knows, but your problem is you and your DH. You have chosen to allow him to make your only vacation about his mother. This is also a sign of youth, where we are still influenced by our parents and have difficult time making independent vacation plans. Parents demand kids come, kids come just like they did when in college during breaks. When you start acting like an adult and an equal partner in the relationship, you will become more tolerant and more in charge of your vacation and your family. This may happen as you grow older or when you stop being needy.[/quote]
