Re: how to talk to husband
This whole situation sounds so wierd. Even if the child is really young (which he is not) they still see places learn things. A 2.5 year olds mind is developing in a million ways, it’s a new experience for them travelling in a bus or a train, seeing different sights, museums whatever. And 2.5 year old talk, say words, learn the names of things everyday. My husband talks about this memory he has from when he was 3 and he went to Ireland with his parents and they fed the ducks and that it was cold, and he remembers that. Even if they don’t remember it they see pictures from past trips and then feel good about that.
Ok apart from the baby business, ur not 2.5 years old, and u will remember the trip! Isn’t that reason enough to go. When u have kids and u travel, ur taking a trip as a family, if the baby will remember or not is not the point, ur taking a trip cuz ur taking a trip! What difference does it make if the baby’s travelling with u. U the parents are taking the trip because u want to and the baby’s comig along because he’s ur baby! My husband and I infact wanted to take a trip BECAUSE kids under 2 travel free! We were glad we took it. My daughter was 1.5years, and she enjoyed it! She loved universal studios, she took all the rides that she was allowed in. The rest we just did child swap. They have a waiting room at the end of the line where one parent sits with the child and one takes the ride, then the other parent sits and the other takes the ride! Great for parents with young children. We didn’t go to Disney land because she was too young to enjoy it. But all in all it was not a useless trip for her or us. Since when is any trip useless, u always build memories together.
So basically tell him u don’t care if the baby remembers, u want to go cuz ull remember it. Btw is it that he thinks ull take hours to get out in the morning and he’ll miss out on sight seeing. Or ur lugging too much stuff around for the baby and it impedes his travelling experience. Well the lugging around u can’t change, u can try to minimize it. But getting out on time every morning u can assure him that ull manage it well and he doesn’t have to worry about missing out on stuff. Unless he’s worried he’ll miss out on clubbing. So if he’s actually going for sight seeing then he’ll have no problem taking u guys along. If he’s actually going for the singles experience then thats where the problem lies. Ask him to be truthful, is the reason for not taking u guys that he actually wants to be away from u, or is it really that the baby won’t remember.
ot remember. he knows me very well. it hardly takes me 10-15 mins to get myself and baby ready. i have even packed for him in less than 5 mins. so he is not worried about missing on things. me and baby just came back home after a month we spent at my moms place(in another city) so he had plenty of alone time.
