My parents have a time share in Aruba. It seems my dad is trying to get out of going (again!) He started his brief conversation with.. Dad:'Do you get Vacation' Me: Yes. I get 3 weeks Dad: were are you going Me: No where
the preceding is the conversation DH & I had this morning walking out the door.
Me: I think my dad's trying to get out of going to Aruba again DH: You should go Me:I can't leave you here DH: I'll probably lose my jobby then and have to use that time to job hunt
If this is even the case I don't know what I should do. I don't the DH & I are going anywhere this year. His company merged and he's got this horrible feeling he's going to get fired.

Re: Aruba - to go or not to go....
Eeek that's tough. Personally, I would go because my mom and I never get to go on vacation together, my mom never goes on vacation period. But it sounds like your mom does go a lot, so if I were in your shoes, I'd probably stay with DH. That stinks though. I hope he's wrong!

I'm not sure what I would do, depending on how much it would cost for just me, knowing that DH is home, and depending on the possibility of me and DH having our own small vacation or getaway together, just so he doesn't feel like I abandoned him, especially during a tough time at work, but... I hope your DH doesn't lose his job!!!

Re: Aruba - to go or not to go....
I voted yes. Aruba is BEAUTIFUL! I would go with my parents and then go another time with DH.
My mom and I are close but not super close but I would still go away just mother/daughter. It would be a great vacation to hang out with my mom and just chill without all the 'husband' stuff. I would RELAX on that vacation instead of going out and would come home refreashed.
Then again, I'm ok with going away without DH, we do our own vacations every so often, he'll go visit his BFF in NC and I'm going to Italy without him in July.

Re: Aruba - to go or not to go....
i would go. DH and i do separate vacations and i personally think its wonderful for the relationship. it gives you time to miss the other person.
when you get back, take DH out to a nice dinner or something else he would like.

Re: Aruba - to go or not to go....
I was thinking I would go but I might feel guilty especially if he does lose his job. If I did go the only thing I would have to pay for is flight & food. I'm not a big drinker so that's not even an issue. My parent's go with a large group of their friends and one couple happens to live in Florida. My mom gets to see them every so often. When they are in NY I end up have to pick my mom up at the bars b/c they'll hang out until they get kicked out on a random week night. I know I would have fun since we are all like family and even though they are older they like to party.
