I have an exceptionally awesome boss....seriously! I started a new job in June, and my new boss is amaz balls. He really cares about his employees, takes us all out for lunch, even breakfast a few times. Understands when kids get sick....he has 3. He is a really generous, (monthly bonus) and the list goes on.
So in honor of hitting a huge goal, he is taking everyone to Vegas for a weekend. Flight, hotel, breakfast, dinner and shows paid for the weekend. Awesome deal right..,spouses are allowed to come. My expense DH's flight. (400$)

Well my DH, MR. No fun doesn't want to come. Vegas is not his thing(mine either really but...!)
So I have asked over and over to please reconsider, and spend the weekend with me. No luck.
So. What would you do October 13????

***keep in mind my MIL is the devil and he doesn't trust her alone with dd, she is coming anyways if I go alone to help out.

    Is this a serious question?

    Of course go without him. His loss!

    Totally 100% serious!
    Edit. Forgot my #

    #feelingguilty ????
    I said I would go but feel like a horrible wife/mother!
  • Wait, if you go alone, you're taking LO & MIL? I'm confused.

    Mil would come to our house and stay with LO and DH would probably work the weekend.
  • Go. Leave baby with him if he doesn't want to go.

  • This is no question, I would go without him no hesitation.

    I guess I just needed someone to reinforce that it is ok to leave. And the guilt, sucks he doesn't want time together.
  • I understand. My husband doesn't fly, so I decided that vacations were my time with my college friends and I just leave him behind. You will have fun, you should go.
  • I put ss. Go and leave lo behind with him.

    That would annoy me too.  But I would still go.

  • Late to the party...
    Why doesn't he trust her alone with your DD?

    Mil can't drive! She has hit tons of pole backing up. Almost hit a parked cop car, and tragically ran over her cat. Which I understand was an accident but she is very distracted all the time.
    I know she wouldn't be able to stay in the house the whole time.
    She had crazy ideas about "toys" DD can play with, she let her play with prescription bottles. And the list goes on. DH doesn't get along with his mother.

    I would trust my DH's father and step mother, but we really haven't talked about it.
    I think what upsets me most is not wanting to spend time with me.
    It really sucks.

  • Definitely go without him...dude, it's VEGAS...not just that, it's FREE Vegas!

    Mr Party Pooper can manage.

    All very true statements!
    When is this going to happen again, seriously!
    I'm going, and I am sure when December rolls around he is going to be kicking himself in the ass for not wanting to come.

    Yikes, that is questionable judgement.  I'm so confused about the childcare portion.  Your H should be taking care of his daughter.  Why is he choosing to work instead?

  • Can a friend or family member go with you instead?

    He can only handle his mother in small doses. He usually works most weekends anyways, he works 6 days/week. He takes care of her, but never alone.
    Mil is just going to come to our house for the weekend to watch DD during the days DH is at work and to help out with everything else. I'm getting on a plane Friday night and will be back Monday afternoon! Going to enjoy myself in Vegas!!!!
    Promise not to get drunk in front of my boss!

    Thank you ladies. For all your opinions.
  • Can a friend or family member go with you instead?

    I told one of my good friends (male) he was all up for going! That would just be weird, and probably frowned upon.
    All my girlfriends live too far away.
