to not want to go away for DS's first birthday?

[MatchsticksForMyEyes]

DH's work colleague has invited us to go away for the Spring Bank holiday weekend. DH is planning to camp with DSD 1 &2 and DD. He wants to book DS and I into a local guest house.
I don't want to spend his 1st birthday weekend away. I want to spend it with extended family and mark the occasion properly. DH says we can do that any time in the half term holiday as DS won't know any different. Fair point, but I do. I also don't want to be holed up in a guest house alone for 2 nights. I have told him I won't go, but am being made to feel like I am BU. Am I?

Oh well you could have your parents - of course you could. You, your DCs and your parents would be a lovely way of celebrating in a low-key way.

I would tell DH that you are going to do that before actually going ahead though. You don't want to turn this into a major conflict (mainly because you don't want to ruin it for yourself).
