I'm going to try an keep this as vague as possible.
In laws have come into some money and want to treat all the 'kids' and their partners to a holiday with them.
It's in Europe so not too far.
We will have a 4 month old baby. I have never travelled with a baby that young, there's so much stuff that we will need to take.
Tubs of milk, the bottles, steriliser? Nappies (I'm not sure how expensive they will be there) the buggy!! (Baby can't go in a lightweight stroller till 6 months)?
Car seat for the plane?
I'm just not sure of all the stuff we will need, but it'll be a lot. We will also have a 3 year old.
I'm worried because my dp said he will be going out partying. Which leaves me with the kids and I'm thinking it's not going to be much of a holiday. He said we will have the help of his family, but then, it's not much of a holiday for them and plus they will have paid for the whole thing I don't want them to think we are palming our kids off onto them.
Dp has said we will take it in turns to go on nights out. But I don't know how I'm going to be feeling, I might not want to party, especially with his sister who I know will want to party all night long. The longest I can last is till about 1am nowadays.
Also there is the booking/passport issue. They are talking about booking now. But the baby isn't even born yet, how will that work?
They are also chain smokers so I'm not going to be able to get away from cigarettes for a week, as you can smoke indoors in the country we are going to. I don't want a 4 month old baby and a 3 year old constantly round second hand smoke.
Am I being really ungrateful and unreasonable?
