A woman has hit back at her husband after he booked a holiday without their baby.
Taking to a popular parenting website, the new mum asked if she was being unreasonable for feeling annoyed. In the post she explained how her husband had booked a five-day holiday for their anniversary in ten months time. He had even organised childcare.
She was met with a mixed of opinions as some thought it was thoughtless, while others suggested she waits to see how she feels closer the time.

She explained on Mumsnet: "My husband has booked a holiday (Monday to Friday) for us for next year as a surprise for our anniversary which is lovely....until he told me it is just for me and him and our baby (who will be 15 months) is staying at home with the grandparents.
"I honestly don't know how to feel about this as I wouldn't have dreamed of leaving our baby at home so young to go off abroad. I know he means well but he seems annoyed that I've questioned why he isn't coming and why he didn't ask me first how I would feel about leaving baby at home.
"How would you feel if your other half did this? AIBU [Am I being unreasonable] to feel a bit annoyed?
"I know I probably sound super ungrateful but our baby is only five months at the moment and the thought of leaving him for almost a week makes me feel uncomfortable."
The post quickly gathered attention with over 300 fellow Mumsnet users commenting on it, with some arguing her husband was wrong to book it.
One said: "I'd be wondering why my DH [dear husband] didn't actually know me enough to realise i might not like this idea."
A second hit back: "Why is he making decisions like that without your involvement? I find booking a holiday without discussing it before odd anyway, presumably he's spending your family money on this. I think it's particularly odd to compound that by making a unilateral decision to go without your child."
A third piped up: "I don’t think either of you are wrong. It was nice of him to do, but also really thoughtless and I wouldn’t be pleased if it was me. Can you compromise and go for fewer days or being baby along?"
"Don't let people on this thread pressure you into going if you don't want to. There's no way I'd have gone abroad for a week without my DC [dear child] when they were that age. There is no "right" answer, some people are fine with it and some aren't," a fourth added.
However, others interjected, arguing that the husband was just trying to do a nice thing.
One wrote: "I would think this was a lovely thing for him to have done, and be really looking forward to it. It’s 10 months away, that’s a long time."
Another argued: "Well, as it’s a year away you have plenty of time to think about it, I think it’s nice he’s gone to the trouble of arranging the holiday and childcare. Surely if it comes to it you can get a cot in your room, but by then you might feel absolutely fine leaving him with his grandparents anyway.
"I don’t think it’s fair to be mad at your husband about it, he’s trying to do a nice thing."
And a third interjected: "I would love it but clearly you are not keen, this kind of thing is a really personal choice. You are feeling like he doesn't know or understand you, he feels like his lovely gift that was supposed to be a treat, and all the effort he put in to setting it up, is being rejected. It sounds like you need to have a chat and both try to understand how the other is feeling."
