    But have you actually agreed on a time frame before hand? believe me, i have incurred the wrath of my girlfriend in a similar way before, it's easily done, and no need to ruin the holiday you clearly have worked hard for.

    As for being worried he doesn't want to spend time with you, don't worry about. He's choosing to live with you and rear a child with you, don't let yourself stress over that.

    Perhaps he has something planned as a surprise and is trying to put you off booking anywhere else. Tell him to come on here and we'll ask him.

    Sorry to be so flippant.

    this could be about right - we always drive up to scotland to my family for christmas, we usually go on 23rd or 24th and stay for 3 or 4 days. One year we had the opportunity to go up early on 21st, so I told OH thats what I wanted to do, he said fine, lets do that. Now I assumed from that he knew I would still want to stay until our normal time of around 28th - but he didn't know that at all, and was expecting to get home after our normal 4 days there. I should have made it clear ;).

    Ah, so you never actually talked about how long you would be going for, did you? You just assumed. Well, I think you are just as much to blame as he is. It seems really very odd to plan a holiday without even making sure and discussing how long it will be for!

    You should just go and enjoy for what it is, or you will be ruining it for everyone, including your son. Maybe you can plan days out for you and your son? Or even go camping with him for a couple of days nearer to home?

    What exactly did it depend on though? And have you actually told him what you plan to do from days 4-7? I would be a bit apprehensive of winging it too, in my experience it's either distinctly underwhelming or expensive.
