My mom’s dying to do a trip to Florida. I’m due in July so by April baby will be 8 months old.

When she first brought it up at Easter my husband was unsure about traveling with a baby. My mom kind of dismissed him and said baby would be fine which really bothered him.

Fast forward she and my sister texted me essentially saying my mom wants to book the house so they want to know if we’d come. I asked the weekend but haven’t responded. They take me asking my husband as asking for permission.

I bring it up by subtly talking to myself out loud about what weekend Easter is which prompts him to ask if they’re planning a trip. He basically tells me he knows my sister and her husband travel on flights with 2u2 and it’s not that he’s worried how the baby would do on the flight but that he’s worried about a “newborn” being exposed to gross people and germs on a flight. His final response to it was “I just don’t know”

I have not responded to them but the house they rent hinders on us because they’ll go one less bedroom if we skip. I want to go and think it’ll be fine.

What would you do? I might talk to my mom separately about it but I don’t want to throw my husband under the bus. She already thinks he doesn’t want to go. But I also don’t really think germs are a concern in my opinion.
