We are planning summer already, trying to get early booking deals.
We spilt the holidays 50/50 and normally do no more than a week block at a time. I'd hoped this year as I'm on maternity leave to have a two week holiday in a house in France, lots of reasons but one of the biggies is that the longer DBD is with us the more settled and normal things are, the less clingy with her dad she is, allowing DS to spend time with DH too.
However DBD's mum has said no to a two week stay with us and wants the normal pattern of no more than a week to be maintained. DH is saying now let's have two single weeks away plus additional days at home with DBD.
Given all of this AIBU to say I'd like one week away all of us and one week away without DBD? We would have DBD for the same amount of time, so she wouldn't miss out on time with DH and her mum and her DH will be taking her away too so will have another holiday.
As I'm typing this I think I prob am BU but two weeks away will just be two weeks of me doing most of the parenting for DS and DD whilst DH does stuff with DBD as she won't have time to get over the cling and DS will play up to try and get DHs attention; arghhhhhh!
