PLEASE ADVISE WETHER WE SHOULD GO ON HOL OR NOT?

[mad4mybaby]

my dh works away alot at the moment and getting me and 2yr old ds down. hardly see him (plus im pg) we've only been on holiday to centre parcs as a family, ds loved it but me and dh got stressed and argued (think dh fault really as he got stressed doing nothing!)

I said i think he should have a few days off work and we go away somewhere cheap. He doesnt think it'd be worth it. Id love to get away from every day life for a bit although he isnt convinced (esp as we dont have much money)

Do we try to go away or not?? Is it worth the stress? DH quite fussy where he goes and struggling to find somewhere perfect reasonably priced

It is a hard one because you don't want to end up aruging if DH doesn't want to be away.

Could you not persuade him to take a Friday and or Monday off work and do day trip type things instead? Picnic or cinema, that sort of thing.

Or you could have a look at the travelodge or travelinn websites and see if they have sny good deals on their family rooms for a couple of nights? They can be as low as about £40 and if you can get somewhere near the seaside that might be good for your 2 year old?

Actually, Travelodge rooms can be as low as £5 a night, although we haven't had that good a deal for a couple of years. But in the last year we've paid between £10-19 a room.

If you haven't got much money, he can't be too fussy! Why does it have to be perfect? There are masses of perfectly adequate, clean self-catering places around to suit a limited budget. What's your budget and we'll see if we can find something within it.

If he gets stressed doing nothing, find a holiday with a bit of everything - 'doing' something, a bit of relaxing, perhaps some beach time for your son. A long weekend might be a good compromise for now.

I find it sad if he doesn't think a holiday would be 'worth it'.

thanks guys. Hes seriously over worked at the moment and just doesnt seem to be able to switch off. Thinks about all the waork there for him on monday mornin. We dont have a budget as such as we are skint but have to really be £200. I couldnt share a bedroom with ds esp now hes in a bed. I tried this when we went to centre parcs a while back and he is such a noisy sleeper and a light sleeper i kept waking up and got stressed about him waking up! Plus if you stay in a hotel/travel lodge he goes to bed 7.15 ish, that would mean we all go to bed at that time as there is no way i'd do the 'listening service' thingy.
