Taking kids on honeymoon?

Ssamantha's picture

I was telling my hairdresser about my engagement and honeymoon and she asked if we were taking the skids on our honeymoon. I almost passed out. Apparently I had a look of absolute disgust on my face because she asked me why I looked so disturbed. I asked her why would we take the kids and she said because you're all getting married.

What? Am I in the Twilight Zone?

DH's ex took the kids on her honeymoon!!! She married the minister she was cheating on DH with, and then they spent a week at the beach, in ONE room, with a 10 year old and a 14 year old. I wonder what he was thinking LOL

She said like it was commonplace...that it's done all the time. Like I was crazy for not doing it!

Their honeymoon is getting to stay with their grandparents and getting spoiled for over a week.

Kinda.....

We took SS (then 6) on half of ours. We got the first night to ourselves and the second night we had SS.
We had lived together for 2 years so it didn't seem like a big deal to me.
My honeymoon night I ended up with a killer toothache that wouldn't stop & Aunt Flo was visiting (no scheduling for her).
The best part was that as we dropped SS off at the end of his summer visit, we continued on to Yellowstone for the weekend as a '2nd' honeymoon... and 9 months later BS was born. We ended up having a 6 week old on our 1st anniversary.
Then when BS was about a month old, we met SD who was 4 1/2, cuz her BM finally decided that SD should see her Dad. I basically got 3 kids within a year of being married.

that's not surprising to me, my skids BAWLED on our wedding day because APPARENTLY fkn BM told them they were going on our honeymoon with us WTF! no we told her that a family member would be bringing them home (she didn't expect them home for 3 more days) wtf dont you listen you moron? NO we're not going to take the kids with us the first night we can fuck without feeling guilty :sick: and yet she was surprised when she asked my dh to watch them on HER honey moon, he said,o y you don't want to take the kids with you on your wedding night.....WHO THE HELL DOES??

I didn't want to take my BIOdaughter, on honeymoon, if i don't want to take HER i sure the f aint taking my STEPkids!!!

Probably she is the same kind of woman who says "We are pregnant." Like the guy is 100% on board and feeling every twinge and ache and icky feeling.

We didn't have time for a honeymoon. I at least expected my first night as his wife to be alone. Nope, 9:30pm and Bitch BM (who lives 3 houses away) said it was oto late for the boys to come to her place and they could stay the night with us in the 2 bedroom apartment. (My daughter at least was staying with my new MIL at a hotel). Not only THAT their friend stayed as well.

And not only that, DH took his sons to have pizza with his mother and sister etc that evening. never mind I told him we were entertaining my out of town friend and her husband.

It makes me angry to even THINK about it!

He has since realised the error in his days and has yet to compensate me adequately. Still got time though... Grrr!

i adore my skids, but there was no way they were coming with us! they were kinda sad, my husband missed them, but not a chance. we took a family vacation the next year and all was fine. its a honeymoon, totally different than a vacation.

I would rather have poked my eyes out than taken my skids on honeymoon!! They normally go to BMs for half of the school holidays, so I made sure the wedding date was planned for the start of the summer hols when they were due to go to hers for 2 weeks. We had a wonderful 2 weeks away and I didn't miss them one bit.

In contrast, when I married my ex husband, our daughter was 2 months old and she came with us on honeymoon, and we also met up with some friends for part of the week which was great. I didn't really want to marry my ex in the first place (only did it for my daughter's sake), so it suited me to have a baby share our caravan and put him off coming near me. She was 17 when I married 2nd dh, so managed perfectly well at home on her own while we went off and had a great time.

Ummm, HELL NO! It's NOT a family vacation. IF I ever remarry there will be NO kids on the Honeymoon, that's crazy! It wouldn't even cross our minds...Not his NOR mine.

Take a seperate family vacation, indeed...but on the honeymoon? That's just how much childcentric society we have become now.

If this woman were not in charge of your hair at that time, I would have looked her right in the eyes and asked her what kind of drugs she was on.

Did you tip her?

Hell no!!! Our kids weren't even allowed to call us on our cell phones!!! We would check in when/if we wanted to, but our honeymoon time was off limits!!!
