Holiday without dh and dc

[Pebblexox]

So I posted a little while back about friend getting married, only invited to hen. Well she has now invited me to her wedding.
She's getting married June 2021 in Zante.
Would you consider going, if it meant leaving dh and dc at home?
DH is invited, but it's not his cup of tea and he said he's happy to stay at home with our daughter for a week so I can go enjoy some time with friends etc. However I can't help but feel guilty about considering going without them.

I’d go and have fun! If he’s happy with staying at home for a week.

Go and enjoy yourself if it works for your family.

My best friend and I take a trip abroad every year without children and husbands. It's bliss.

Go go go!!! 😁

Yes definitely, I go on holiday at least once a year without dh and dc. It's wonderful.

Hell yes!

Go!
My DH would be same as yours - he'd be happier at home with DC

I am sure some posters will be along to say no as holidays are family time only and it’s selfish to pay for a solo holiday out of family money.

I think if you can afford it and your DH is ok with it then don’t give it a second thought. Go and have a fab time!

He's happy to stay, go

Thank you all!
Yes financially we can afford it, and we have a cruise booked for the three of us later in the year so I wouldn't have to choose this holiday over a family one.
I guess it's just getting over the guilt of leaving them, but I definitely think once I'm there it'll be a great time!

In those circumstances I would go; if the money I had to spend on my own holiday meant not having a family holiday, I wouldn't go.

Absolutely go! Holidays with friends are good for the soul! I recall your previous thread OP and am so glad it’s all been sorted out nicely! I often feel some AIBU threads will end friendships whereas yours seems to have come out really positively which is great!

@Caterinaballerina yes, it was kind of by chance we were discussing her wedding and she just extended the invite there and then. Unexpected, but lovely of her so of course I want to go to celebrate with her, I think mostly as it will be my first time abroad on my own, I just feel like mum guilt is eating me haha.

Book it. Not only will you enjoy it but you have it to look forward to!

Absolutely go!!!!!
My DH pays for me to go away every year on a short break with my best mate. We just chill and catch up, and love every minute of it

I don't think there is anything wrong in going, and leaving DH and DD behind, as your DH seems fine with this, and is happy to look after DD. If you want to go, and are feeling guilty, maybe go for two/three days rather than the full week, if flights allow.
Personally, I would decline if I had originally only been invited to the hen do. I suspect a lot of people have declined, and she is trying to make up numbers.

Go and have fun!

Erm that sounds like heaven!! Can i be your plus 1?
