  • Can you share the driving or if it is too much perhaps he can stay at your Mums overnight to break the journey.

    I found it too tiring to drive to my sisters some 300 miles away so a friend took me and I stayed a week before coming back with another friend.

    Best of Luck

    If it is a long drive is there no way you could break the journey up and either  stay over with your mum or in a hotel nearby?

    Your hubby maybe feels like he wants to do this for you , give you his support as you have probably been the one supporting him through his illness.If he feels he can cope it might make him feel useful. I hope you enjoy your weekend together, best wishes Jules x

    Is it possible you could go on Friday evening and stop halfway somewhere and the same on Saturday evening?  When you arrive could hubby find a cosy chair (or bed) where he could have a bit of a snooze?  It is so difficult trying to juggle the family isn't it, wanting to see your mum but worrying about your husband at the same time.  I think sometimes we think TOO MUCH!!  At least the traffic isn't too bad on a Saturday so this may help.  Take a pack of sandwiches with you so you can snack along the way.  Whatever you decide to do have a nice time.
