So yesterday, I was out to breakfast and the today show was on. I saw a term on there that I had never heard of before, Babymoon. confused I had never heard of this term. Granted I was able to figure it out immediatly.

stare The idea annoys me on a few levels. The easiest and most obvious being celebrating something everyone can do.

The second one being... well is it really a good idea to be planning an all inclusive resort trip right before you have the expense of a hospital bill? Seriously, my boss told me that with health insurance his last kid still brought him a $2000 bill. That is a lot of money. Plus does anyone really need one more debt to pay off? Shouldn't that money be put away for college or something?

I do not know... I just found one more reason to dislike breeders. xp one more reason to do random expensive stuff to make them regret having the kid once it is here.

Anyway thoughts?

My issues are on the other side of things really. You have a new baby, so why are you jetting off to some exotic location rather than enjoying your new baby? You really needed the excuse for a holiday? Save the holiday for a year from now when you're burnt out and exhausted and need a break.

I do understand families that close ranks for a couple of weeks and spend the time just with their family unit at home rather than going out visiting or allowing the extended family and friends to come over every two minutes. It would be a time to relax, get used to things, bond etc. I don't understand why you would go on holiday.

It sounds like they don't want to ask for time off from work so they're abusing the maternity leave to use it on a holiday.

Well I've learned something new today... I disgusts me personally some people will use anything as an excuse to take off on their kid. What about that "bundle of joy" you left behind?

From what I read online, the point of a babymoon is to jet off to an exotic location to bond with your kid... stare Nothing says vacation like a brand spanking new kid right?

It just goes to show that being a parent is nothing more than a title these days.
