How many of you go without your dh?

[disneygal2007]

Well We have thought about it My DH is deploying for 15 months and I thought about taking the boys on my own but I think I would be just 2 sad and Miss him way to much so we are going to go for 10 days when he returns!!! May 09

Long away I know but worth it.

I would go w/out DH next time, even though he did take DS on rides that DD didn't want to go on, which was great but it just felt like I had ANOTHER child w/me!! I planned this whole trip myself & he didn't help once or even care to be interested until we were on the plane--I know that he was busy w/work-but like MOST husbands-I think that he thinks I sit around all day & do nothing...I wonder if it's that Pixie dust that does laundry,cleans and makes dinner (besides everything else!!)

I've not taken a vacation sans DH but I've considered it for next year. I have a brother in another state & I'd love to take a trip to see him around the same time as one of the Vera Bradley outlet sales. I can get airfare & either hotel or a rental car pretty cheap so I may try it. DH can handle the kids for 4 days or so.

DD and I go without DH all the time. DH's idea of a nice vacation is to stay at home and play video games so we let him to do that while we're gone. Works for us!

My husband has never gone I only wish he would, but it's his decision..I don't feel guilty because it's his choice. Too bad, I guess for your husband, but at the same time too, you must be thankful for his new job God is good all the time, even when we can't see it

My son (11) and I have a tradition of going every year on a vacation by ourselves. We have been doing this long before I married my husband and will continue to keep this tradition going. My husband understands 100% and encourages us to go. This trip gives my son and I time together where the attention is fully on him. Since taking these trips he has become quite the traveler and does real well learning how to read maps and how to properly budget his money.
It is a little hard a first being away from my husband, as I am sure it will be for you too, but in the end all will be fine

This will be the first year that I'll be taking our 2 dd's without dh. He is all princessed out and really wants to skip this year. Last year he had to spend two nights away from us during our 8 day trip, and to be honest, we had a much more relaxed time while he was gone. We love having him there, he's always got great ideas and can get us through a crowd in no time flat (being 6'4" and 240 lbs has it's advantages!). HOWEVER.....he's always in the mode of "how much can we get done in the shortest amount of time" and sometimes we just want to relax and wander around the world.

We'll miss him, I'll have a little bit more burden taking a 5 yo and 9 yo alone, but we're staying at the Poly and spending one whole day just chillin' at the hotel. Maybe he'll decide to come next year, maybe not (he may have an awesome time alone without US!) but either way, we'll go!

Hopefully your dh can go next time, but what a guy HE is for making sure the rest of you get to go even if he can't.

Have fun!

My husband had to leave early on a trip so I was there like 2 days to ourself.. it was nice.. but a lot harder than I thought it would be.. but my child was 3 and I was trying to take the stroller.. (our own instead of renting...) Next time.. if mine was young I would have just rented.. it was too hard trying to get all that on the bus! But go on and have fun.

DS15 & I have been a few times w/out DH
March 06 I was in WDW w/out either of them.
This past Aug DS & I went for a week w/out DH

In a little over 3 wks I'll be at WDW for TWO weeks w/out DH or DS.
The 2nd week I will be meeting up w/ppl so wont be entirely alone. I'lm having a friend stay 2 nights in my room, night before my birthday and birthday night. Im never alone at WDW anyways! Constantly talking to someone, feel very comfortable at "my happy place"!

 

[39CINDERELLA]

have gone without dh a few times (I liked it better that way...LOL)

if you are feeling that guilty maybe he can still go if you are going over a weekend he can join you plus if he has any personal or sick days he can combine to use for the trip

 

[DisneyPhD]

It would be very hard for me to go with out my DH. WDW is "our" special place so I don't really want to go with out him (or him with out me.) I would not want to go on business or anything like that either.

Still in your case it doesn't seem to be the same thing. DH doesn't seem to care, your mom will be with you and you can't go for a year with out him. The point is being there with the kids and your mom gets to see them enjoy WDW too, and be there to help you (and help pay for it.)

So no, I don't know if I would go with out my DH, but if I was you I think I was you in your situation I would

Congrats to DH on the new job!

Enjoy yourself.

my DH would rather I go without him, so I've done 2 trips with just me and DS (10) so far, and DH has finally agreed to go with us for our next trip!

 

[LauraAnn630]

I love my husband. But I would go without him in a minute!! If he didnt mind.
I dont think my DH would mind either. Hes not into it as much as I am.
Why waste the money?

our next trip is going to be more his style. A week on the beach, relaxing then 5 days or so at Disney or vise versa.


Dont feel guilty! Youll spend good quality time with the kids!

My dh and I have never gone w/o each other. WDW is just "our" special place...i can't imagine being there w/o him. We just hope our girls grow to love it as much as us!
