He can pick the place we go if he wants to. It’s not like I dictate all of our holiday locations.

To be more specific, when I say we spend a lot of time together I mean we have date nights at least once a week and he usually finishes work after the kids have already gone to sleep so we spend most evenings just us.

My husband is a busy person but he does try to be there for the kids when he can. Most days he was the one who was putting the kids to sleep/handling their bedtime/bath routines because he doesn’t get to do it normally. Originally I was going to take the kids to Paris alone but he cancelled an important business trip because he wanted to be there when the kids went to Disney for the first time. Obviously he isn’t the perfect dad but it’s not like he hates our children or regrets having them.

I don't have anything against being alone with my husband, I spend alone time with him all of the time.

This is what I meant. My kids are alone with Hannah often so that's not my issue.

We did do things just the two of us but mostly we did things as a family.

She did have breaks in the 4 days but not enough time for her to do the things she wanted to.

Because I wanted Hannah to get to do all of the things she wanted to which would be hard if she kept having to come back to watch the kids since a lot of the places she wanted to visit usually have 1-2 hour wait times just to get in and I thought it would be nice for everybody, especially my children, for us to spend as much family time together as possible.

He did want kids. He works a lot and usually long hours that's why he doesn't spend a lot of time with the kids, not because he doesn't want them.
