Today, I finished booking the non-refundable cruise for my wife and I to the Bahamas. I did this after confirming once again that my mother could take care of our son while we're away. An hour after I paid, she called back saying she mistook the dates and can't do it anymore. FML

You have to know at least one other person you could ask. It's not the end of the world.

How old is your son? Maybe he can stay with a friend? Unless he is an infant. :/

Stuff him in your luggage and take him with you.

I would feel like a terrible parent leaving my son behind to go on a holiday. Your child should be the most important person in your life- I don't understand why you'd want to leave him behind. Make it a family trip!

Being on a cruise sucks with an infant to be honest. They are not used to their environment and whine more, their sleep schedule is all messed up from the time zone difference. So you will be stuck in the cabin with the baby the entire time. They can get seasick...etc spending a week away isnt going to ruin their son. Maybe they are exhausted and need to reconnect in their marriage. Being a parent calls for sacrifices, but you still need alone time every now and then from your child.

#77 if the infant is too young to be going on a cruise then in my opinion they are too young for their parents to be dumping them off with relatives to go on a holiday where they would be not be able to return in case of emergency. It's one thing to leave an infant with someone for a night to have some adult time but not to go off on cruise. That's absolutely selfish. It would make more sense to do more appropriate holidays until your child is old enough to enjoy a cruise with you.
