Please give your advice  

Thank you for your advice. I am just about ready to travel now, it takes time for me to plan and travel. As it is, we will be going in a month's time.

Not sure if that would help. Last time I told them that we can only carry 20 kgs per person, and there were two of us travelling, me and my husband, so they decided to send a 20 kgs bag ..or was it 25 kgs. I think I have to take a bit more stern stand and tell them what I can carry after I weigh my own luggage.

That is my main concern, offending him, I mean. When I am travelling with a baby or babies in this case, it is not just the weight that I am concerned about. I will have to worry about the babies as well as the luggage. I am going to travel with someone, but the children are at a stage when they are very clingy to me especially in public places. And the people I am travelling with relies on me for arranging and taking care of pretty much everything as they don't speak English.

Airlines are becoming costlier and costlier with the luggage you can take becoming lighter and lighter.

I normally like to travel light, but with babies, I find it hard to travel as light as I would like to.

I'm not sure he would appreciate that. I know for a fact that he would not think of giving me money, not even a little bit. And I do have to mail it within UK. I would be staying in Midlands and the son lives in Brighton and he asked me to mail it to him last time.

Like I said in the previous comment, he would never give me money. I told him the last time what the airlines restriction for luggage weight, he still sent me 20 kgs - a limit one person can carry. He probably thinks that since I told him we don't have much luggage, it is alright to send me that much.

Thank you for your advice.

I am travelling in mid-July, set now. I know it is a long time away yet, but with two children and a business here, it is not easy to get away. I have to plan and plan and replan.

As for my landlord, I might end up telling him that I can't carry anything this time. If my husband is travelling with me, it would be alright. Without him, the kids got only me to cling to, and I certainly don't need the headache of worrying about the luggage.

A tight spot, more like it. I don't want to offend him, neither do I want to be inconvenienced with the goodies he wants to send to his son.

With any luck, by the time we travel, the son might have his summer break and come home....I can only hope.....

worry about what you need to take for yourself, the baby, an your partner before hand, if each of you come your 20kg limit each for the adults, an 10kg for the baby, pool it together, an tell him you can only take up to this figure in weight (will have to split it again to make it work, so each of you is only taking the amount of weight your allowed to take)

@nisheeth, I might just say no this time. It is going to be a bit of a hassle with my two babies who will be clinging to me the whole time.

@channah,

I am usually a light traveller. I don't need much for myself. The babies' clothes and toys for the journey, books to keep them occupied, etc. are going to be the bulk of our luggage. And this time, my husband is not travelling with me. I am travelling with some relatives, but my children will still be clinging to me as they haven't seen much of the relatives.

Thank you for your advice, vishnumuthu. I thought long and hard and I am still thinking about it, especially now that the date of journey is set (mid-July). They haven't called me up yet, so I still got more time to think about it.
