This weekend hubby and I have been invited to a two week cruise next year (all paid) apart from spending money. Being paid for my hubbys parents, who want to celebrate their diamond wedding anniversay, with all the rest of the family. :o :o
Wow I hear you all say... but this has caused such major problems and a heck of a dilema. !
Firstly... WORK! hubby and I work for same company, its a small one. Only 3 people (and a half for the part time lady) . So if we both have two weeks off it leave the Boss on his own with the part-timer to have to do all the work! Which is not a good thing. He struggles when we both have a few days off together so to leave him alone for that long is disaster. !
Now to complicate things, BOSS is 70 on the exact same day as the inlaws wedding anniversary, and hes already talking of going away to Aussie for a few weeks to celebrate his birthday! so this of course clashes with the inlaws 2 weeks cruise offer.! So that would leave just the part time lady who would be available to work. ! which she couldnt do anyway! Arrrrgh!
I have said to hubby, please go, you have too, its your parents diamond wedding, they have never done anything like this ever, and he just has to go and be with his family. I know he wants to go, but he doesnt want to leave me behind, bless him. But with the work situation, someone has to be there! Its unavoidable. There is no way on this planet Boss would consider closing the business for 2 weeks while we had these holidays! I have worked for him too long and know what hes like. Its also the end of the financial year, stock taking and audit etc. So another reason why I cant go. These are my areas of responsibility ! I cant get away from that.
His parents are getting on in years now, and its an absolutely fantastic gesture of them to do this holiday. They are so excited, and I really want my husband to go, but how can I make him go and leave me behind.! ?? He just doesnt want to go and says its not fair as I wont get a holiday.
But heres another complication, my husband doenst know I have booked us a suprise holiday to New Yorks for 5 night for his 50th in August! So YES, I will get a holiday of sorts, its just he doenst know about it.!
So do you think I should tell him ? so he wont feel as bad and will go with his family on the cruise ?
I did want to leave it until a week before his birthday so it would be a huge suprise, but with everything else cooking away, I am just wondering if I should tell him about NY, and then it would make it easier for him to go with his folks as he would know we are off for a few days in Aug!
Gawd dont things get SO complicated. Everything was all settled until this offer came up!
