DH sister lives abroad a ten hour and then two hour flight away. Our first baby is due end of September and DH has just announced that he wants to go there for Christmas as 'he wants his sister to get to know the baby'. AIBU to be annoyed because a) would like to spend Christmas with some of my family too as will be first grandchild and b) don't want to cope with a days travel with 3 month old plus associated jetlag with travel to another continent? I also want her to be able to get to know her niece/nephew but feel that by living so far away that some loss of closeness is inevitable. I was brought up abroad and know that some missing out is inevitable so am not unsympathetic but I would be more willing to go there when the baby is a bit older and likely to cope better.
