Holiday with other parent

If hes goin away with his family, does your child know them? And how much time do they have with your child?
It could be hes thinking, if your child gets fussy at night or during the day and is missing you, he will just leave them with his family and enjoy his holiday. Then when LO is calm again he can play daddy again.

If hes never had him for a whole weekend, friday afternoon til sunday afternoon completely on his own (with no issues) then i would refuse as your LO will need the comfort and reassurance of you. Using the excuse of work wont let him, is a cop out, if he wanted to do it he would figure out a way to do it.
Thats just my view x

I personally think he should be having more time with his child, that is of course if you’re okay with it. He can’t take time off work is such an easy excuse for some people but they need to realise they are also 100% parent to the child, and not dump 90% of the responsibility on the other parent.
Of course that’s my opinion, I would hate if my child’s father left his son with me for 13 days and only had him for 1 like he’s only a part time parent

See if he can take idk.. maybe 4 days off work earlier than august as part of his annual leave or something. During that time he has the kid. If the kid enjoys it and he can handle it in the comfort of home then maybe the holiday will go well

1 night a fortnight is not parenting! Even if he can't get every weekend off he could have nights through the week rather than just an hour some days.
I'd work upto the August holiday increasing contact as you go, your child will probably enjoy a holiday and he should be stepping up more as a father (and the rest of his family)

Surely he can understand that 8 days away from his primary caregiver will be confusing and traumatising to a baby.
Maybe when he's older and can correctly verbalise his feelings and can understand what's happening then sure but for now, no.
