To wonder at what stage DH could take baby to visit his family without me?

Just wondering, as I know this will be suggested in the coming months. Baby is nearly 5 months ( also have 10 and7 year old). Wondering at what point is it reasonable for husband to take all three to visit his dad for the day? His dad lives just over an hour away if you travel morning/ night avoiding peak traffic times. The situation didn't arise with the older kids as we lived hours away then and DH didn't take them there for ages. Wondering if IABU to think 'not yet, he's so small' or if that is just possessive madness?! If I am being unreasonable, then of course DH should take them all for a visit- I am under no pressure to go so could potentially have a day off, which I cannot imagine! But would also feel so strange without baby ( obviously the older two go to school, I'm used to separating from them lol) . Your thoughts and direction on this is appreciated xxx

I haven't 'stopped' him- just didn't come up as a suggestion until now. Just would feel strange without baby but hell I would love to lie in the bath, watch a boxset, etc!!! And thank you all for your replies, really appreciated and helped me realise it's not a big deal, DH taking baba for the day. I will use the time wisely ;)

Tomorrow sounds good to me!

They don't have to be out dawn til dusk, between rush hours, as you say, would work well to begin with.

Canary a day if blissful! I love it was strange at first though and I did get bored. Now if I don't have plans I lay around watching films and box sets, have a long bath undisturbedand, read a book and sometimes make a lovely meal for their return.

DO IT

Enjoy your day off OP. It's fine.
You are a person too, and you are allowed a bath in peace :-)

Anytime! He's as capable as you at looking after the baby, I assume?
Mine are 2.9 and 12 months and I've never had a full day off for various reasons, very envious!

Thanks everyone! I'm gonna just do it! Love mumsnet for getting all your viewpoints and steering me in right/ normal direction!! Somehow felt I should be clung to him every day for 1-2 years, I would so love one day off though will miss him, I'll be making the most of it, and like one poster said, they'll be back before I know it!
