Being vague so I’m not outed. Married with a baby to someone whose family live abroad. First time visiting with baby obviously family very excited. Staying in hotel 30 mins from family. Before baby I used to do a mix of seeing family and spending time on my own on beach, coffee shops etc while husband during these times caught up with friends and family on his own. We spent very little time alone and although I craved at least one meal on our own together in this country, I understood he rarely saw his family. This time around I’ve found it more tricky as we have our baby. Evening meals on my own with baby in the hotel, feeds etc. It would be nice to just spend a little time by the pool or beach together. Or even have one evening meal together but my husband is so cross at me saying he only sees his family rarely and he would spend all day and night there if it wasn’t for my and baby being here. I’m probably being unreasonable and wonder what to do next year...

This is also just how it will be short term. Each year it will get easier in regards to routine, sterilising, less to pack etc and your baby will be a whole other person that will make it easier to visit his family and you get a bit of time to yourself too. Tbh if you’re all hanging out at the pool/beach together you prob won’t get much “you time” particularly when they get to the “watch me, mummy!” Stage 😁
