2nd Trimester

A little "babymoon" predicament

All of a sudden, DH gets a text from his aunt who writes that she & her three sons will be at Disney World during the same weekend we are (4th of July).  What I gather from that is that she expects us to take time out to meet them for lunch or something.  Why else would she text that randomly?  Well, I'm being a selfish blitch and don't feel like I am going to LOVE taking time out from our last vacation together to go have a family get-together.  DH at FIRST said that "it would be nice" to see them and that it was "the least" I could do.  Then, I threw a fit and now he exlaims that he doesn't care anymore, he just doesn't want to deal with my hormones and will do whatever.  That makes me happy but, at the same time, I feel bad.  It's just that I didn't get all excited about this vacation because I wanted to hook up with some family members and try to "make plans".  I got excited about it because it's going to be our last big vacation before the baby comes and I was expecting it to be all romantic, fun & semi-spontaneous; just the two of us.  Tell me I have the right to be a selfish blitch.  Mind you, this trip is also my birthday present~! lol

Re: A little "babymoon" predicament

  • I understand you want your own vacation, but honestly I don't think taking 2 hours out to meet for lunch would be a huge deal, personally.
  • Loading the player...
  • I don't think meeting for lunch with your husband's family is too big of a deal...

    Do you live nearby them or see them often?

  • I also don't see why taking an hour or so for lunch is such a huge problem.

  • Sorry, but you are being unreasonable.  Having lunch is not a big deal and you need to suck it up.  That is what being married and being an adult is about - compromises.  That said, I hope you enjoy your trip and (other than this lunch) do all the things you want to do!
  • I see your side of wanting it to be just your vacation, but meeting family for lunch doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me.
  • it's lunch... it's not like they're asking to spend the entire day together with you.

  • It could be fun to meet them for lunch or even more.  You are going to have plenty of time with your husband.

  • Okay, okay... so it is just my blitchy hormones.  I will chill out & we can do something with them, lol.  Thanks for keeping me in check, haha!  DH will be happy about this.

  • I agree with all the posts, it's just lunch. It's about an hour and a half out of your WHOLE vacation.
  • I think if you are there at the same time and don't meet up with them at all that would be rude and your husband would probably be embarrassed.  I mean what would he say, my wife wants to only spend time with me, this is our last trip before baby?  They have 3 kids so having kids is not new to them.   You should meet them.  You are over analyzing this.  I think in the end you will probably be glad you did.  Kids are a blast at Disney plus you still have plenty of alone time with him.

  • I think it's kind of funny that your Babymoon - last chance to be alone before kids - is going to be at Disney... surrounded by kids. Sounds fun though! Don't let a little lunch get you in a bad mood!
  • I think yes you have a right to say, honey can we bow out this time? But at the same time don't be to harsh to DH if you do end up seeing them. And hour os so is nothing and it can still be fun!
