    If I had to take my daughter, I would also take a friend for her and a babysitter.

    This is a time for you to bond with your husband. I can't believe you have to bring his daughter. Yes babysitter needs to come along.

    It's not a honeymoon if you take kids. It's a family vacation. Can you plan a special day or weekend away after you get back?

    If you do decide to take her on vacation instead of a honeymoon I agree with Muriel. Let her bring a friend at least.

    While I appreciate you wanting to Include her, there is no way on earth I’m taking my son on my honeymoon. Not the smallest chance.. That is time for my new husband and I.

    That is not a honeymoon thats a family vacation. I would be seeing if you can plan at least a few days away for you and your fh you need the time to bond.

    Nope. I highly suggest not doing this. You two need to enjoy your time together without being restricted to do what you want. Perhaps ask family to keep the child for a few days or get a babysitter.

    You mean well but i think you should take this time to be with your husband. You guys can take her somewhere when you get back.

    Cruise. They have camps on board which would give her time with kids her age and give you guys some alone time. Check carnival

    I happily scheduled my daughter to be with her aunt for the week. It was perfect. She's mad she didn't get to go, but I explained other trips will include her.

    Is there a way you can go just you and FI?

    Agree with PP. You and FH need time to yourselves. If you absolutely need to include her, maybe do so for a day or two at the beginning or end?

    If there is a way to go just the two of you I would do that. FH and I have 3 kids between the 2 of us and they are staying with grandparents for the week.

    Is it possible for you to honeymoon near some extended family? Maybe spend a few days with the three of you, then drop daughter off at cousins house, and you and FH continue onto do something else? My friend just honeymooned in Hawaii, where her Hs grandmother lives. They spent some time with just the two of them and some time with them plus her daughter.

    I wouldn't take a honeymoon with kids. Simple as that. It's not a honeymoon it's a family vacation

    My FH and I have 3 kids. We are not taking them with us on our honeymoon. FILs are watching our kids for us so we can go.

    Can you have someone watch her for you? If you take her, it's more of a family vacation than a honeymoon.

    My child was much happier to spend two weeks with my parents than be on a trip with us. Sounds funny, but she is spoiled rotten over there. No way would I have wanted to bring her. We take family trips several times throughout the year. This was for my and my husband.

    Her honeymoon can be whatever she wants it to be, if that includes children then that's up to her. I personally would skip the kids.

    A resort or cruise where they are kid friendly and you can have alone time while knowing she's well taken care of would be your best bet. Disney has a lot of various resorts and villas all over the world that provide this. A travel agent could help you too.

    Colorado. If you really want to take her, there is so much to do and is just beautiful. You can still have some romantic intimate moments with her around and you could get her a separate room

    It is a honeymoon if you want it to be your honeymoon. I would try a cruise or going to a Sandals resort. My parents took me when I was a kid, it's very kid friendly. Best of luck

    Jordana, you can't get a separate room for an 8 year old. No parent is going to feel comfortable with their 8 year old staying in their own hotel room. Not to mention most hotels would not allow that. Also, how exactly can you have romantic intimate moments with a child around??
