When is the last possible date you can tell insurance that you want to cancel and they will cover it? I would wait a few months (if possible) and see if you are PG and/or in a new job. I think the decision will be easier.



I have to find out when the cutoff is....




I would definitely try to find that out... then you don't really have to stress about it until then. Good luck with the job search and TTC!

I think I would go but definitely pay to upgrade the cabin. You might be able to arrange some alone time, but I would want a nicer cabin especially if that may be your only "escape."

I wouldn't go. That's a lot of vacation days to
use in the beginning of January. You can always
tell that you are looking for a new job and if you do find one you're not sure how their vacation policy will be. I feel your pain, I wouldnt want to spend 11 days on a cruise ship with my in-laws. Good luck!!

Thanks! It's Norwegian, so I have to be less than 24 weeks (no problem) and need a letter stating my due date. All I have to do is tell DH that they are not equipped for emergencies and we'll be outta there like that!! He's so paranoid.

We will be second fiddle to everyone else anyway.......

If you don't want to go, you can use the looking for a new job as an excuse. Tell them you don't know when you will get a new job and you may not be able to take time off shortly after starting a new job.

That's what we had originally said, so they told us to take the insurance ($175) and we can cancel without penalty.....gee thanks for the advice!!

You may have to just say that you don't want to go. What will the reprocussions of you being honest be?

I guarantee you they will cause a huge fight, as we have had before, about me not liking his family. The holidays are a nightmare, and I feel the same thing will happen with this...

Does your DH really want to go? If he is not set on going I would just tell them that you want to save your vacation days for times you might need to take off b/c you might be PG or that you and DH were set on going somewhere else or on a few trips that would use your vacation days. The insurance is a good idea and a free trip is awesome...I think it's very generous of them.

That's the problem, it is very generous of them!!!
BUT, this particular vacation was supposed to be for when we ALL had kids, not 2 out of 3 of us. That's where I feel like we are just being asked out of obligation and won't be missed anyway.....that's where it's kinda messed up....
Wouldn't they be thinking that we are married almost a year and would want to start a family?They know we want to. I think they are being a little selfish and not eally thinking about us, but I can only say that here!!!!

People use money as a manipulative tool. They feel that you couldn't possibly turn it down. Just like when people offer to pay a portion of your wedding. I know that money is power.

And MIL is like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Most of the time she's great, but she really knows how to dig her nails in while being totally sweet. DH will NEVER see that.....she manipulates him and he has no idea.....and I guess this is another example wich I am sure will only get worse as it gets closer....

Have you had that conversation with him? That may need to happen first. Life is too short to waste your time off. If you don't want to go, you shouldn't go. Paid or not, a vacation should be all about you and DH.
