How "criminal" would it be for me to be on holiday on dd's first birthday?

[MrsFogi]

I've been looking at the dates for my return to work and trying to work out when dh and I could go skiing (he really needs a holiday as he's been snowed under at work and hasn't had a holiday for about 1.5 years) and the only week that is feasible (because of my return date and when it is low season i.e. when we can afford it) would be the week when dd is 1! I am really torn as part of me thinks this is an occasion we should not miss etc etc and the other part of me thinks that dd will not notice anyway and dh could do with a break etc etc. Any views?

Oh go. Like WWW says, this is the year you can go, and get off your face and have wild sex.

if you want to go do it

I know I couldn't do that and its not for the child its for me .. imagine knowing you weren't there on your own child's birthday [shiver] .. I'd be heartbroken
