Trip Without Little Guy?
My DH & I are tentatively planning a long weekend trip with another couple for next October. Here's my dilemma at the moment, and I need Intercotees to help me get over it! My now-four-month-old son will be just over a year old by then, and I feel horrible planning a trip without him! He will be more than well taken care of with his grandparents, I promise; I am just worried that it's mean not to bring him along (and that I'll spend the whole time being reminded of him). We are hoping to take him for the first time when he's about three.
Am I overreacting? Am I a mean parent? Help!

Don't feel bad about not taking him - a 1 year old will not get anything out of WDW. Parents deserve a break themselves so go and enjoy and think of the good time your little one will have with the grandparents.

It's healthy for you both to have some time of your own. It will be a great experience for your son to have some time with his grandparents, and it's great for your marriage for the two of you to get some nice time alone together. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone! I know he's going to have a great time with his Grandma and Grandpa. And...since we will have two years' worth of Disney Visa Rewards, we'll have lots of souvenir money ready to spend on the little man! (Santa brought him mouse ears--with his name on them--for his first Christmas).

We've made two trips without our kids when they were younger. I had no problems then, though now that they are older and can do everything I'd probably feel some guilt for a short period of time if we were to go without them.
