not wanting to go on holiday with the in-laws

Hi everyone,

My mother in law is seriously ill but is well enough to come away on holiday. My DH wants to take her and my father in law on a driving holiday to France. We have a 9 month old baby and I am not quite sure it is ok for me to take her on a holiday like this. I am fine with the driving part as you can stop over every now and then and entertain her for a bit. It is my mother in law's condition that worries me. She has cancer and thrombosis as a result. I would love her to go and enjoy herself but I don't think my little one and I should go because should she need to be hospitalised we might be stranded without food/sleep etc. If that was just me I wouldn't worry about it coz she is far more important bearing in mind her condition but I don't think this would be easy on my LO. Obviously my DH is not happy for me to stay behind and thinks I don't want to go for other reasons although I explained my reasons to him and he seems to understand but coz it's always glass half full with him he doesn't think of worst case scenarios. Am I being unreasonable and about to spoil everyone's holiday??

The only thing I can think of that´s worse than being an adult on holiday with parents or ILs is being on a driving holiday with them tbh.
