Spain or not to Spain?

[oopsywoopsy]

DH wants us to fly to Spain in a couple of weeks for a family holiday. We have a villa there with our own pool. There's only the one week in August we can go due to DH work, and bonus that flights are a great price.

I feel we all need the break (esp me who was home with our 3 young kids during whole of lockdown as DH worked throughout.) Feel the kids deserve it as they have been great and missed out on a lot same as everyone else.)

I'm reluctant due to the following reasons:

1. Not sure is it soon to fly with COVID, is it worth the risk?

1. My youngest would turn 2 while we would be away and I know grandparents would be upset not seeing him on his special day.

1. I'm actually scared to tell my Mum if we do book it as she's strongly against travel at the moment, is very judgemental and throws major strops. Think she will probably not speak to us for a while. (My sister is 7 months pregnant which will make her even more against it.)

1. Had invited a few family members, little cousins over to celebrate the little ones birthday in the garden so would have to cancel/ rearrange.

1. Have a family member coming with his child to the garden get together who were going to stay the night. (He's having a hard break up and I know it meant a lot to him & he was really looking fwd to it.)Worried about letting him down/ upsetting him. (Also had him up last weekend.)

1. Could rearrange get together for the next day but know some family members would feel uncomfortable that we had just stepped off a plane.

AIBU to deprive my family of a holiday because I'm mainly worried about upsetting/ letting other people down?

Do you think it's to early to fly?

No one. But I know you have that stereotype in your head.

I live south if Barcelona and it's thoroughly shit at the moment. As MrsT said, maskx the minute you leave your front door, it was 31° to it day, bloody horrible in a mask.
There's no enjoyment to be had going to the beach, a cafe, bar, to a restaurant - even into a supermarket. Apart from the sun, there's nothing joyous about being here!
We've got holiday planned but we aren't going anywhere, even in Spain, I'd hate uk take c19 from Catalina to Cantabria for example.

Sorry your 6yo is stressed about it OP

No one. But I know you have that stereotype in your head.

You know nothing about me or what I might be thinking

From the news on Saturday, 150+ outbreak 'hotspots' in Spain with the likelihood of some leading to lockdowns.

Spanish lockdowns are real lockdowns, unlike the English ones.

Up to you…

Seems a bit off to go when you already have plans with other people that you would have to cancel.

FOR FUCKS SAKES THE OP IS NO LONGER GOING TO SPAIN TRY RTFT

@Lemonmaid in fairness your narrow minded post spoke volumes about the sort of person you are!

Holidays don't mean, alcohol, tans, crowds etc for the most....

Relaxing, walking on the beach, swimming in the sea, eating out with the children and not stressing about bed time, no housework to take up,your time, long lazy breakfasts.

You're post was massively judgemental.

I'm just marvelling that all those people who cant possibly wear a mask for 5 minutes in a shop would be happy to wear one all day in Spain.

Thank you @Coronabegone, you said exactly what I wanted to say. I hate the judgement. This pandemic has brought out the very best, and the very worst in people. It's very telling.
