It was supposed to be an all weekend thing including sleep overs. But it was local so I could pick and choose what I wanted to go to. I went Friday night from 6-9 and Saturday from 1 (lo's nap time) to 10. I hope dh would do the same type of thing for me and leave early or go late. I feel like they'd understand, especially if you have two kids at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bachelor-party#post-805772 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:08:55 +0000 dolphin 805772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never asked DH to shorten a trip. He's actually going to Vegas for a bachelor party Thursday to Monday and I WANT him to go and have fun with the boys. But that's also because I know I can handle LO alone (its harder but manageable). DD is five months old now but DH has been away two weeks at a time for work (twice) since DD was 8 weeks old so a long weekend is nothing to me. But I'm sure it's much harder with TWO kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bachelor-party#post-805694 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:55:32 +0000 Boogs 805694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH hasn't ever tried to go on a trip that long, but if he did I would so ask him to shorten it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bachelor-party#post-805659 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:50:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 805659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't, but we don't have LOs yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bachelor-party#post-805623 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:46:26 +0000 Ra 805623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. DH doesn't get to go on many mancations and he deserves a getaway just as much as the next guy. On the same token, he would never ask me to shorten a bachelorette party or girl's trip. I'd be jealous, sure, but I'd sacrifice a few days so that he could relax and have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bachelor-party#post-805469 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:16:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 805469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our friend is getting married across the country when LO will be less than 2 months old. I'm not going but DH is planning to. He was talking about how long to stay and I had to say he couldn't stay very long-- some of the guys are talking about like, 5 days! I think 3 will be plenty for me to be home alone with a less than 2 month old. I don't really feel bad, either-- it's his baby too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bachelor-party#post-805458 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:13:37 +0000 chopsuey 805458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't since all of his trips are work related.<br /> Dood. Those guys DO NOT need to spend that many days in Vegas. Have your DH leave on Saturday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bachelor-party#post-805415 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:06:35 +0000 autumnlove 805415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's good friend is getting married this fall and he has a Thursday-Monday bachelor party planned. I want DH to leave a little later...maybe Fri night or Saturday morning. It will be hard for me to juggle everything with work and the two kids.</p> <p>Have you ever asked your SO to shorten a trip? </p>
