Would you be mad at your DH if...
he went on 4 day trip a month after your little one was born?
We have air line credit to use up before the end of the year. If we don't use it by January we loose $500 
My DH said he would like to go away with a friend of his on a 3-4 day trip. At first I thought it was a good idea becaus I don't want to see the credit wasted but then I got mad and said no to him.
I'm not sure if I'm just being jealous or mad that he would want to leave me and little one home after a month. My mom would be with me to help me while he's gone so that's not a problem.
What would you tell your DH? Would you tell him to go?

Re: Would you be mad at your DH if...
I think I would be ok with it. Losing the $500 credit would be a shame. But he also better bring you back a good gift!!

I think I'd be OK with it as long as I had another family member come to the house and stay in his place if you felt you needed it.

Honestly, I would be angry that he would want to leave so soon after the baby was born.
ETA: I would probably be more hurt than angry.

Re: Would you be mad at your DH if...
i would let him go... under one condition: that i also get to have a couple days escape at some point after the baby is born (maybe two full spa days or something...)

Re: Would you be mad at your DH if...
OMG yes. Actually he simply would not go. My DH is allowed to do whatever he wants but he wouldnt try coming back to live at MY house if he did. 
My son is just over 2 months now and I have FINALLY been able to shower without needing DH home....
The first month was sooo hard. I could not ever have gone 4 days without his help.
I would tell him there is NO way you can manage alone..there just isisnt...Not to mention its not fair.
No matter what anyone says about 50/50..there is NEVER a 50/50 with a Dh and you. No matter how hard my DH tries, I end up doing more...
And him going on vacation, I would FLIP.

Re: Would you be mad at your DH if...
Yep. I would be mad.
Any chance of the 3 of you (you, DH and your baby) taking a 3-4 day trip in November or December? That way you do not lose the money, and you can have your first family trip!

Re: Would you be mad at your DH if...
I had a change of heart and said for him to go. If it was more than 3-4 days I would say no way.
My mom who lives literally acroos the street from me would sleep over and help those days he's gone.
Funny because when I said alright go in not a sarcastic way he said well, we'll see.

I wouldn't want to travel with the baby so soon.
If there is any way anybody knows how I can extend the credit please let me know. It's Jet Blue credit. I told the women I couldn't fly due to medical reasons and she said no then I said I would pay a fee to extend it another year and she said no.
I was thinking, if my husband doesnt go should I book a pretend flight and then cancel it again and then they would give me a new credit for a year again?

I think you did the right thing by saying he could go, but I bet he'll miss you and the baby terribly and wish he didn't go!!!

Re: Would you be mad at your DH if...
Honestly I wouldn't be mad, usually it is me who goes away without him, so how could I say no this one time. As long as I had support and it was only for a few days, I would think it was fine.
Any way he could go away before the baby is born?

Re: Would you be mad at your DH if...
well, I would have said no problem b4 I had the baby but since DD was a colicky nightmare, I would have been so mad if he went!
But if I had a good baby, I wouldn't have minded...

Re: Would you be mad at your DH if...
Since it is Jet Blue you can book another trip and then cancel it for a $25 fee....Then wehen you are ready the 2 or 3 of you can go on vacation....We just had to do that with my parents because they have $1000 credit from last year that was going to expire. So what we did was book a trip for as far out as they let you and then they are going to just change it...and again it is a $25 fee per person...a $50 hit isnt that bad and then everyone can go away.

I was just going to post the same thing. We had booked a trip in May 2006 and couldn't use it, when we called to reschedule (in May 2007!) they told us that if we had to cancel the second trip, we'd have to pay the same fee again (I think it is more than $25, or if it is $25, it is per person) but the credit would be good again for another year.
ETA: We did go on the second trip, with DS and he was 3 months old at the time.

Re: Would you be mad at your DH if...
If I had someone else who could stay with me overnight while he was gone, I'd be OK with it. If I had to stay alone the whole time, I wouldn't be happy.

Re: Would you be mad at your DH if...
after i had olivia dh missed her so bad. and he had a trip to california for 4days on business. it was a hard time for us since i was still adjusting. your lucky to have your mom close by to help out. i wouldnt be mad but if it continues that after you have a baby and he thinks he can go out all the time then it would be a problem.
some men dont change after you have a baby. i have a completely different routine then dh had before olivia and he has the same works all the time. occasionally goes out after work with coworkers and friends and i take care of olivia 24 hours 7 days a week.
