DH came home this evening and announced he's booked to attend a trade fair type thing 70 miles away, for 3 days/nights, finishing 10 days before my due date. We have a 3 year old and I have no family, friends, neighbours or other support nearby. I'm not happy about this. He's suggesting some variations/solutions so he can attend e.g., he'll go in the daytime only (not practical, at least 2 hours away in central London so a. getting there and back will be difficult anyway and b. he wouldn't be able to get back in a hurry. Another suggestion was that I go with him and amuse myself in London (I think he understands why this is not practical or sensible) or that my mother comes down to stay. Now, mum could take care of our 3 year old in an emergency but to me that's not really the point. I don't want my mother here, I want my husband and I just don't think he should be that far away on a non-essential work thing so close to my due date. How would you be about this? AIBU? I can't stress enough, we don't know ANYONE here who could help if anything started while DH was away.
