To not go on this holiday?

A group of friends have organised a holiday to Europe this summer, large villa, mixed group of men and women about 8 of us. We have a one year old and have been invited along though none of the group have babies or even young kids they’re bringing.

I’m not sure I want to go if I’m honest. I feel like I’d end up doing most of the childcare while everyone else relaxes. I also worry about the group dynamic changing how my partner behaves with the baby - wanting to look fun and carefree - and us ending up clashing over it.

Would you go, or would you let your partner go alone or none of us go?

Are you sure the baby is invited.

You made the right decision OP. It's not a good combination. It's important to plan a holiday that you can look forward to and enjoy. This isn't it.
