We have had quite a busy Xmas, travelling two hours Xmas eve to PILS, two hours to DPs on Boxing Day, and travelled home yesterday afternoon. We have a 15MO who is learning to walk and wants to be down all the time, playing with toys or pushing walker about. He didn't sleep well at either of the stops over Xmas, and so neither did I.
We have a day out planned tomorrow just the three of us that my DH planned before Xmas. It's again a two hour ish drive. Before Xmas I thought it was a nice idea, but not it's here I think DS would much rather be at home crawling about and playing with his new toys. He hates his pram, it's a real battle to get him to sit in it, and also is at such an awkward age when eating out it's more hassle than it's worth. We went out for quite a posh meal on Xmas eve and i was stood holding him for the majority of it as he wouldn't go in high chair or be held by anyone else, and cried whenever I sat down.
We are going out for a day out on New Year's Day with family, and a few days later we are all travelling to in laws again as it's mine and DHs anniversary; they have kindly offered to babysit so we can have a day out in the town we used to live in before ds was born.
AIBU to say I just want to have a few days at home over Xmas, and not to go tomorrow? DH thinks I am being v unreasonable, he is a keen photographer wants to get some pics and enjoy family time. Thinks I'm being a wimp and playing it safe all the time, I used to be so adventurous and love going out to new places but since DS came along that's changed and changed me for the worse blah blah blah
