Am I right to be annoyed?
My husband is going to Cancun for 4-5 days in April for his cousin's (his best friend) destination wedding. I will be almost 30 weeks pregnant, we have 2 little kids at home, and I am a teacher and can't call in sick for those days, so I'll be staying home. This is going to cost us well over $1200 just for him to go on this trip, which I think is a lot of money! This basically means we aren't going on a vacation as a family because he is going on this trip. I know he has to go, but at the same time, I am so annoyed that he has to go and spend all this money when I can't even go with him. I know there is nothing we can do, so I'm really just venting/looking for some justification in being frustrated!
And now they are talking about having a reception here in NY over the summer...do we have to give a gift for that too?

I would be annoyed but it is what it is. He'd probably feel bad for missing it.
The whole another reception at home thing is a pet peeve of mine and I would not give a gift for that since your DH is going to the actual wedding. Save the money for a family vacation after the baby, maybe a beach vacay for the two of you.

Re: Am I right to be annoyed?
I don't want it to seem like I am annoyed at my husband, because I'm not! I know he is annoyed at the situation too...it's a very expensive trip to have to take for a wedding and it's at an expensive resort...I'm just annoyed at the whole situation, and really, a bit jealous that he is going on a great vacation and I can't even come! He feels really bad that most of their friends aren't going and neither is most of the family due to the cost. I just wish they had thought about doing it here or doing it somewhere a little closer and less expensive!

Can he cut the trip a little shorter? If I were in the situation, I would be annoyed. I would hope DH's cousin would understand the inconvenience and suggest not going for the whole time -- but if he didn't, I would have DH suggest it. Things come up and plans need to be adjusted accordingly! As for the NY reception -- I would not give a second gift!

Re: Am I right to be annoyed?
My husbands cousin is having a destination wedding. Its around 1,000 per person and at the time our baby will be only like 7-8 weeks old. We made the decision to not go. They are having a "casual celebration" about a month later which we will go to I sure. If we already gave a gift at the destination wedding I don't think its necessary to give another one.

I don't think there is any chance he isn't going...thought I would like for him to have made that choice by himself. And honestly, him going for a shorter amount of time doesn't really make it any cheaper...the flights are more expensive if he left a day later and the hotel doesn't really go down all that much...I guess I need to suck it up and accept it, but he will definitely owe me big time, since I have to stay home, work, take care of the kids, and be 30 weeks pregnant!
