Currently on maternity leave with 8 month old baby and need a change of scenery after a hard time recently. Have checked with DH and he is happy to look after older DC who would be at nursery during the week.
Is it a terrible idea to take the baby on a trip? It would be 3 nights to Spain or Portugal for ease and a quick flight. We live close by a big airport. Can do a few days for about £400 all inclusive. We are having a bigger family holiday later in the year too so DH and other DC wouldn’t miss out in that sense. We can afford this too. Baby is really chilled and goes with the flow for the most part so is a doddle in that sense.
I would love to wander around, sit by the pool and splash with the baby, read a book when he naps, have a glass of wine on the balcony.
Part of me thinks it’s a great idea to get away and another part feels guilty for leaving older DC but I’m not sure if I have blinkers on!
YABU - this is a terrible idea that is bound to go wrong
YANBU - go for it, YOLO
