Been offered a free holiday next year with my family. Due to DC attending a childminders we are limited to the dates that we can do and we have to take holidays when she takes hers (not enough annual leave to take different dates).
Anyway, there is a week that works but the problem is we would be travelling on DDs birthday (flight early hours so travelling all day). DH is arguing that this won't work as his family will have to see DD on her actual birthday. I don't understand why we can't just celebrate the day before. DD is too young to know what day it is so to me there is no reason that this would be an issue. DH wants to delay and travel the following day but I think this is stupid as we are missing out on a day (plus flight times aren't as good).
Before anyone says this is not an excuse on DH's part because he doesn't want to go away with my family, they get on really well and he wants to go and has tried to make other weeks work. It genuinely is just the issue of DDs birthday and what the in laws will say. My family are much more laidback and this wouldn't bother us at all if it was the other way around so I don't know if my perspective is skewed.
