My husband is deployed,, We live in Kentucky where his friends and family are. My family is in Arizona so I planned on making a trip out there to do something small for my daughters 1st bday and when he gets home something big here with his family & friends. He’s so upset I am planning this party without him. Am I wrong to want to celebrate with my family? My family won’t be able to make it here when we have a party so it was just easier for her and I to fly out there for a week. I feel bad because he is deployed but at the same time for the last 8 years I’ve struggled with infertility & now I finally have my daughter & want to celebrate.
You arent wrong at all. Hes deployed and not there and you're still doing something with him and his family also. If it were me i would live by my family seeing how hes not there. Thats some sacrifice right there
No your not wrong and he should see that your doing it with your family then one with him and his family when he is back
No, you’re not wrong at all! Just explain to him your reasoning for wanting to do it. He is most likely just upset because he’s missing out on an event in his child’s life and there is nothing he can do about it. Just try to also be sympathetic to his feelings too. It’s never fun feeling like you’re missing out. Deployments are never easy, especially when special events happen during them.
Not wrong and should enjoy every bit of it! Plus I love traveling with my kids.
