Seeing family for a month, DH says no

[Husbandswife]

Need advice - I’ve only been at home once in the last 2 years. I want to go visit my family for a month in September, taking my three year old. My DH says it’s too long and I can go for that length but I can’t take our child. AIBU?

@EasterIssland - I always carry a letter from my DH when I travel with the kidS from Australia to the UK as well. As you say, not everyone gets stopped, and I haven't been so far - but if I ever did, I have the letter just in case.

Fair enough. It's his child too. I would not want to be without my child for a month.

Either- all go, go for shorter time or go yourself.

Your DH sounds selfish and controlling. So you see his family and they have a relationship with your DC. There has been a pandemic and your desperate to spend time with yours. He is unwilling to compromise or even join you for weekends when there as it’s ‘boring’. If my OH hadn’t seen his family during the pandemic and wanted to go for a month I would support that. Telling you to go without your Dc is just odd. Is he worried you won’t come back?
