Would you be okay with your partner going on multiple holidays, leaving you alone with kids?

As well as LB, I'm pregnant at the moment due end of this month. Hubby wants to go abroad 3 times next year leaving me on my own with 2 under 2. Is it hormones to be upset about this?

Err no! That's a bit selfish on his part. Family holidays are one thing, but going off on a lads holiday 3 times is way too much from my perspective.

Very selfish! It’d be a hard no from me!

Definitely not, I don't mind my husband going away once but that's it

Unless it's a fundamental reason to go, ie visiting an elderly parents where, if he doesnt go now, he will never get the chance, or something equally as needed, 3 is far too much I'm the same as Katie, I'd be alright with 1 time, but it needs to be a joint discussion as it affects both of you. Is there any help that he can provide for you, has he made any arrangements or offered up any options? If he isn't even thinking about this, then I'd definitely err on the side of, give him one to pick from and stick to one trip, or put your foot down entirely and say he needs to stay and can then go away in 2026 or you all go together It's so hard getting advice from people who don't know your family dynamic but you've been through the newborn stage once, you know what to expect (ish as you didn't have a toddler back then) So only you know what you'd be able to genuinely live with. Hormones aside, couples I know still have one holiday each alone with friends as a cap where they have kids

How would he feel if you went on 3 holidays and left him alone with the kids?

Nope, either he needs to grow up and step up or you need a divorce! A man child acts like that! Lads holidays when you got 2 kids? Don't think so! Be lucky if you allow him to go on one of those! I imagine he says he will need the space from the kids! Those are his kids, he does not get to have space from them untill they move out and even then you don't get space from them! He's made me angry! I'm gonna go now

Absolutely not! You’ve every right to be upset about it! He’s acting like a man child! How would he feel if you went on holiday 3 times and left him alone with the children,I doubt he’d like it very much xx

Wouldn’t not be fine with me at all.

Helllllll no. NOPE

my husband was the same, he already had 2 booked before we found out i was pregnant (had 2nd in june this year) then he had to go to a wedding in september which we were all invited to but i didn’t want to take 2u2 so didn’t go i was annoyed but when he went on the holidays it wasn’t actually that bad. the first holiday he went on my first was 16 months and second was 1 month. then the 2nd one i went to great yarmouth with them both x

Jesus Christ, NO!!😆

Do you have a support network while he is away? X

It’s normal to want support especially being so close to your due date he should want to stay close so if you do have him at any given time he can be there deffo needs to think about what he wants
