[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will end up divorced OP. Not because of this trip but because both you and your wife are more bonded to your families of origin than to each other. Ignore that at your own peril. You’re getting what you want in the short term yes but sewing the seeds of much more serious issues. [/quote]

Oh please. Ignore this poster.

I completely get why your wife would not want to fly that far out during Christmas. What you had originally planned is fine. Staying home with them is fine too. What's not fine is for either of you to say one thing and mean another, and secretly harbor resentment. If you both communicate well and mean what you say, then all the power to you and enjoy your holiday.[/quote]

Agree, you will not end up in divorce because your wife doesn't want to travel across the country with a 13 month old and then be the sole caretaker while you go do fun things with your family... because lets be honest, that's what would happen. Your original plan is perfect. My husband traveled to multiple family events without me when our kids were very little because it just wasn't worth it to travel with kids but it was important for him to be there. We are still married. The fact that it is over Christmas is only a big deal if you decide to make it a big deal.[/quote]
