Would you let your husband travel to a different country (his home country) with your baby for a week ?

I think it’s really normal to feel this way, you’ve spent the last year with your child and almost another year before that growing them! The idea of them being far away from you, where you can’t control who they’re seeing, what they eat, when they sleep etc is going to be anxiety provoking. There’s no right or wrong here, whatever feels okay with you. My husband is very hands on, he works part time and I work full time, so he spends more time with little one than me, and would be more than capable to take care of the little one for a week and I still wouldn’t be comfortable with him travelling that far away without me. He’s taken her away for a night before a few hours drive to visit his sister and I was nervous the whole time - trust your gut ❤️
Probably not. Even though I know he’d be just fine but I’m a control freak and the fact I sort everything practical at home. Completely sexist but not unless he was travelling with his sister or mother 🙈
I think it’s so personal and totally understandable you’d think twice about your little one being away from you . My husband is very hands on, especially now I’m back at work, we both work 4 days and look after our son for a day each. It’s always felt that pretty equal so I feel very confident he’d be fine and it wouldn’t be a shock for our little one. I think I’d miss them and want loads of updates, but love the time to myself!! A free evening without cleaning highchair mess sounds like a dream 😅 I’d probably rather that than a week of solo parenting whilst he was away and me just starting back at work. I think is really important to give space and trust for each parent to have solo parenting time too. That’s just me though so trust your gut ❤️
Totally down to you. For me - partner is British so I can’t compare. However he’s taken her down to his folks a few times without me and will do again next month as I’m at Glasto. She gets spoilt rotten when she is with his side of the family. I did cry when she left last time tho 🤣 If you did BLW, hopefully she is trying lots of foods so will eat just as well when OS.
I’ve got a 2 y/o and a 1y/o with my husband (from another country) and I’ve always said he can’t take them alone until they’re at least 5. My husband is not hands on though 😂 If you say he’s a really good dad and trust him with her then take the opportunity to have a break too!
