Once we get there, I may just leave DH and DS behind...DD and I can go into the parks alone. (I can't manage DD and DS by myself and since DS will only be 1, it would limit any riding we could do.)
I also reminded him that this trip wasn't supposed to be so much about US as it is supposed to be about the kids. The two bedroom villa is at his request specifically so we can have "us" time. His family is coming so they can take the kids sometimes and let us do our own thing...they can't wait to get their hands on the kids!
Thanks all!!! Just over 60 days to go -- watch for the trip report to see if I end up strangling DH on Main Street!  |
Thanks for sharing the deeper background on this!
I think with the economy, he is really worried about the future, like most of us are. I really, really, really sounds to me that you have tried VERY hard to manage the cost of this trip -- I wish my DW would try 1/2 as much of what you have done!
Your DH has 'seen it all' but he has NOT seen it with his own kids! There has be SOME attractions that they did not have -- for one, Toy Story Mania!
We re-financed last year and we decided then to take the kids and BIL on the land-sea as a once-in-a-lifetime trip. That's not to say we will never go again, but not like this! Maybe your DH is worried about trying to 'top' this trip next year? I have wondered about how much fun the littlest ones can remember and I think that our are at a good age (8 and 15), so maybe he thinks they are too young? Maybe you could all make a contract (I did one for my family when we re-financed so that we would all know and agree what we were going to spend our money on, the trip is just one thing that has caused us to mortgage our future). I know, it sounds funny, but it could help reassure him that you are not expecting this every year.
Tinker, I hope something can help you out, too... they all need chill out and 'do it for you', for once... don't let them hold you responsible for their entertainment 24/7!
Hmmm sounds like your DH would like the cruise... eat, sleep, repeat...
Sorry about the rant... I know you all understand.
