My DP and I have been together 2.5 years, lived together for 2 years and have a 14 week old son. I also have a 7 year old from a previous relationship.
For the past two years DP and I have no been abroad/on holiday, as we were saving for a house and then had a newborn. Both years my DS has went abroad with my parents.
I've been quite vocal about wanting to take the kids on a family holiday next summer, possibly to a resort my parent's have been to with DS due to good recommendations.
My parents have said they'd like to go back and would like to go this once with us and they'd pay for DS7 and let him sleep in their room. This was all their idea and is incredibly generous. They will also pay the deposit just now as I am on mat leave and only receiving smp now, we will pay the full cost back to them.
DP has no issues going with my parents as we all get on, however he hates flying. He doesn't want to fly or go as he will need to fly. I've told him that I would just take the kids and go with my parents. He said he didn't mind and it means he can take his army reserve training days as annual leave and can get paid, as opppses to unpaid.
I'm now wondering if IABU to go abroad with the kids but without him?
