My husbands best friend is getting married next year. The friend is planning a week long bachelor party that my husband is expected to attend. This party includes flying to Las Vegas for a couple of days and then flying to Mexico to a resort for a few days. For reference: we live in the modwest. Am I in the wrong for saying “thats not happening”? We currently have a two year old, who will be three when the trip takes place, and I don’t want to solo parent for a a week while he goes off for a week long bro fest. Like, our kid is A HANDFUL, and he knows this! I would be totally cool for two day or a long weekend trip but a week?! Half of which are spent in another country! I’m not cool with it. I don’t think I’m being unreasonable in saying I don’t want him to do this.

So AITA for not wanting him to go and saying he can’t do this trip?

Edit: I should mention that wedding itself will be a 3 day destination wedding in Cancun. So it’s not like I would be depriving him of a Mexico trip.

Edit 2: someone said this is relevant to the problem and I should put it here as well as the comment I made.

Has nothing to do with if we can afford it or not. That’s not the issue.

“And the long and short of it is- no, that’s not the only reason why I’m opposed to it but I didn’t want to give too many details in case he sees this post. These friends like to PARTY! My husband has been sober for less than a year at this point and my worry is he will not come back from this trip sober.”
