Would you be ok with Dh taking dc on a flight for the first time

Without you, for 3 days, my dc is 5, never flown before, never been away from each other overnight.
I’m not sure about it

Of course! How would you feel if he was asking the same question? Do you have issues trusting his ability to keep your child safe?

Well why would I be better at it than my husband? I may be female but does not male me better

Yes I would fine

Unles DH is an irresponsible arse then no way but without any information on your dh it’s hard to tell.

Yes, my DH is a capable man able to navigate an airport and look after a child. I’m assuming he is not going to Kiev or some where else potentially dangerous.

Is it the actual flight or the time away you are concerned about?

Allofaflutter · 05/06/2024 11:54

If you would do it without DH then he should be able to do it without you. 5 is plenty old enough. They are at school by then.

Yes, of course. I'd be thrilled. A lovely break for me!

Unless DH is an incompetent parent, what's the issue?
