To ask how would you feel if your do was going on a weeks holiday with their family?

Just as the question says. Partner going on a holiday with their parents and brother (just the 4 of them) no partners. Parents are paying for the flights and accommodation. Your partner will just have to pay for food and entertainment etc.
you are not being left with dc or anything.

How old?
Is it an annual thing?
are you a long term partner?

Sounds lovely! It’s not often you get to just hang out with your parents when you get older. What a nice treat for them.

I wouldn't mind at all

wave them off and wish them a
great time

I'd be a bit jealous they were getting a holiday but ultimately happy for them. I'd either see if I could find someone to have a holiday with too or plan some fun stuff at home - a mix of seeing friends and having the TV remote to myself.

Pre children, my husband did travel with his family without me and it was absolutely fine. After children, we've taken trips as a whole family with his parents and siblings and my children's cousins.

I'd be delighted.

I wouldn’t have a problem with it. I’d love the opportunity to do this with my own family.

I think that sounds nice.

If it was somewhere i desperately wanted to go, I’d be a bit jealous but other than that I’d enjoy the peace and quiet.

Id be fine with partner going away.

Suppose if only be annoyed if they didnt have enough annual leave for holiday we planned or the holiday was going to leave them short of money

I’d hope they enjoyed themselves? Is it a trick question?

My mum and I used to go away for 2 weeks every year, she’s a bit too old now but instead I go with my bestie. My partner stays at home with the cat. What’s your problem?

I’d love the fact they had that relationship with their family and I’d use the opportunity to have a week all about me

How long have you been together? I'd be a bit miffed if my DH did that.

Pre children, I probably would have dumped a partner who objected to me going on holiday with my family. Post children, I have been on holiday with friends and with family, but checked with my Dh first that he would be OK workwise to take on full responsibility of the DC, and helped line up extra childcare for the days when he was working outside school hours. I wouldn't expect him to object unless for practical reasons. I didn't object when he ( only a couple of times in 30 years) went on holidays with friends. We don't own each other.

Pleased they are close enough with their family to be able to spend time on holiday together and it also gives you time to do your own thing.

Unless there is drip feed information coming about the fact that it means he will use up all of his holiday and have no time left to spend with you or similar...

How nice for them, rare to spend time like that as an adult with just nuclear family.

If no DC then I'd enjoy some quiet in the house. Order some treats and catch up on reading and hobbies.

id feel envious at them having a free holiday, but also excited at the thought of having some time to myself and the perfect excuse to indulge in some solo treats.

I think it's ok to go away for a week as long as it doesn't impact your partner too much. But I would find it weird that they'd want to do that rather than go away with partner or friends. Loved my parents but a week would be too long and they'd never have excluded my dh.

I enjoy my own company and have never felt anything but joy at being left behind by boyfriends or my husband going away for a holiday.

I would have no objection at all. Why would I?

I reckon it's op going away and her boyfriend not liking it.

Sigh.
Context needed.
Who is everyone involved, and what is actually going on…

I'd be fine with that, providing that you weren't both struggling for annual leave.

Now we have DC, I would also be okay (although less than a week would be my preference). On the proviso that I get the same at another time.
