So my husband wants to take our son on a 2 hour car ride one way and I told him no.

A little backstory: our son is 16 months old and we live two hours away from friends/family. He wants to go down this weekend to hang out for a bit and wants us all to go but I’m 34 weeks pregnant and don’t want to be in a car for that long. Well he said him and our son can go and I can have some time alone. Which is fine with me but here’s my issues, he’s had a cough and runny nose, plus if I’m home why would we stick him in a car for 4 hours round trip? I want them to get time alone, and for our son to be able to play with other kids but it doesn’t seem fair to him to have to be in a car seat that long when he doesn’t have to be.

My husband likes to point out that I take our son on trips frequently alone and he’s in the car for about 3 hours total but I only do that because I don’t have a choice. When I do go out I do it when I have to and I have to take our son because my husband is sleeping since he works 3rd shift. I feel like an asshole but I’m not trying to consider how I feel or how my husband feels. I only try and consider what’s best for our child
