WWYD-I have a 2.5yr DS and 4mth twins. Inlaws and DH want to go on a long weekend to the coast. They have a friend who lets out a 2 bed cottage cheaply. When asked if I wanted to go in August- a couple of months ago- i politely declined as the twins were still very new and I couldn't imagine anything worse - all squeezed into one bedroom with my DH and kids.
My mum has been helping me with the childcare but in August she wants to go home for a week. We stupidly thought that I could take inlaws up on their offer as being squished into one bedroom is a lesser evil than a week spent on my own with a toddler and baby twins. Obviously there is no availability for the dates my mum was planning on going home, but the inlaws have specified one weekend at the end of August that is free. So my plan backfired and I'm kind of committed to the weekend away. Pretty fed up and the inlaws aren't happy with me, grumbling to DH that I should have decided right at the start and not at the 11th hr,,,as they need to juggle a prior engagement. I quickly said to my DH that we can back out if not convenient but the inlaws are super keen to go. I'm happy for DH to go with DS but I got told off for being ridiculous and that we ALL have to go. It sounds nice but I've been to this cottage and the bigger of the 2 bedrooms has 2 single beds. So me and DH in a bed each, DS on a camp bed and twins in a travel cot. It's going to be tough because twins are used to cosleeping in a double with me and MIL is prone to suggesting cry it out methods if they play up. Twins are not placid babies. They cry A LOT. I can see this weekend being plain hard work as I do all the packing and bloody unpacking at both ends as DH does fuck all. If I give him a list he doesn't know where half the stuff is so I end up doing it anyway. I've semi fabricated a story that my brother from europe may be visiting the uk but DH is really piling on the pressure to go. Argh WWYD?
