My fiance and I are getting married in two weeks (YIKES). I have a 12 year old daughter.
Four months ago, we moved halfway across the country for my job, so we don't have family support or really close friends here where we live now. Finding someone to look after my daughter would be a big deal at this point.
Because we haven't banked up vacation at our jobs, we also haven't got time to take a honeymoon.
So we've decided to put it off for a year and possibly make it a 'familymoon' but I'm actually kind of not into that idea. I would love for the two of us to jet off on a vacation for two together. I adore my daughter, but she's been around while we've dated, and we've let her be involved in the wedding to the extent she wants to in order to respect her feelings.
I would love to do this one thing without her.
But it seems the odds are stacked against us at this point. Do we take a familymoon somewhere kid friendly and put off having a grown up trip for two till she's older and out of the house?
Just kind of venting here.
