Need to convince DH to let us go back!!!!!

[sritter78]

We went in July 04, July 06, July 08, May 09. We are planning a grand gathering in May/June 11. However, I want to go back in May/June 10 as well. DD asked DH this morning and he said no. Money is not the problem.

Any ideas???????

 

[Tricia's mom]

Well what is the problem ? maybe you need to address that.
And I hate to say it but Women have the ability to get what we want .
Maybe do a "favor'' him and he will do one for you. LOL.

 

[ebtbmom]

Why don't you and DD go together and leave DH home. Me and DS are going together in Jan b/c DH is in nursing school. Honestly I'm really looking forward to some mom/kid time!

If money isn't the problem, then why do you feel the need to get your husband's permission? My DH is busy at work, and isn't as into WDW, so I took my kids without him starting when they were 4 and 6. We had a blast! He comes sometimes, sometimes not, so it all works out.

Just plan it without him if you want. It's fun!

I third the go without him idea. He's been plenty, if he doesn't want to go again it's going to be much better for everyone if he stays home!

 

[allison443]

What's the reason? Does he want to go somewhere else instead?

 

[Indiana Rose Lee]

Maybe he is tired of disney. Or wants to go somewhere else.

 

[sritter78]

He does want to go other places (Washington DC, Boston, etc.). I think that those are places for us to go when the kids are older. They are 4 and 7 months now.

The air and space museum is great fun with kids. The zoo is terrific, too.

The history stuff In Boston is great fun,too!

Instead of trying to convince him to go back, let him suggest some nice destinations for your family. You're going in 2011, I would be hesitant to put that trip in jeopardy by insisting on yet another one. You've been a bunch of times, he probably just wants to see what else is out there. If nothing else, he may come home and agree with you that WDW would have been a better choice. I find with my DH, I can't tlak him into or out of something. The best I can do is present some information...and walk away. He has to draw his own conclusion.

I'd let him choose another vacation for the family. You have been many times in recent years and he should have a say also.

 

[Minniemama350]

I agree with not trying to convince him. If your successful he may be miserable still and make you miserable. What about a beach trip to Vero or Hilton Head if you just want a Disney type vacation? Maybe he's theme-parked-out. It happens to the best of us at times.Did I just type that?!?

 

[MisplacedTraveler]

I would figure out what is the root cause of why he doesn't want to go to Disney. DH agreed to go for 13 nights in Sept 10 if that could include a 4 night DCL. Good Luck!

 

[Reagan&Co.]

Drop it for a week and then ask REALLY NICELY!

 

[terrygroomes]

I'd tell you how to get what you want but Disboards has a "G" rating.....

Honestly, I think I would honor my husbands wish to vacation somewhere else for one year. You've gone loads of times, and have another trip planned. As much as I hate to say it, there is life beyond Disney. And just because kids are young, doesn't mean you can't enjoy other places; by the time my son was 4, he'd been to London, Ireland, Paris, Monterey California, Chicago, IL and yes, Disney World (Disney land, too if you count that I was pregnant with him when we went). I have loved all of our vacations with our children- Disney or not. And I think that it really speaks love to your husband if you hear him out on this. Marriage is all about compromise, not just trying to talk someone into your view, or trick them into it. I'm not saying this is your desire or intention, but it seems to be the view of some. I think if you take the time to hear his views, you could probably find a compromise you would both enjoy.

Somewhere there's a post on a forum: "Need to convince DW to stop dragging us to Disney!!!!!"

I think we could use a 12 step program if there are people who think it's kosher to trade sexual favors for a trip to WDW, even if the recipient is their husband, or think it's cool to take family money for a use the man has already vetoed. We're tiptoeing on compulsion territory.

Whether or not I had an agenda on my mind, I'd like to know why my husband didn't want to go, it's just the logical next step of the conversation. I'd respect his preference, personally. There are so many trips out there to be taken, I can't see myself getting bent out of shape about not doing Disney after all the trips there you've had and I wouldn't want to screw up the innocent fun with resentment when I did next go back.

Regarding the "G" rating:

Why not a trip somewhere else, I'm sure there are other places the whole family would enjoy. Vacations for the most part should be a family time. My favorite part of vacationing over the years was not so much where we were, but that we were together. As corny as that sounds it was the only time I was able to spend alot of time with the kids (24/7). Between work and eveyday hustle and bustle these were the times I enjoyed and comunicated best with the kids.

I really enjoyed our trips to the world over the years and I have to say they were very enjoyable.

The other advantage to waiting is the earlier trip won't water down the 2011 trip and may make it more enjoyable. Either way enjoy your children spouse and vacation.
