Do you feel guilty leaving your kids to go on a couples getaway? 🥲
My son is 2.5 years and we haven’t gone anywhere without him yet 😭 i DESPERATELY want a quick trip for just me and my bf but I feel sooo much guilt even asking my parents if they’d babysit. Any tips? I know I’d miss him so much also lol

Never felt guilty for taking vacations without my kids
No. I don’t feel guilty. Not even for my weekly Friday night breaks. I need them, I look forward to them. And I know they’re safe and happy w Hubby or whoever I left them with (for date night) otherwise I wouldn’t have asked, plus they’re mainly asleep overnight. I have a gfs bday coming up in July and that’s in Bali for a weekend I am SO looking forward to that lol. (My first weekend solo away) No guilt from me. And all 6 of us going are all mums (I think that’s what helps w my guilt, my friend group are all mums either single or partnered but still mums)

Reconnecting in your relationship is important. Having parents with a happy & healthy relationship is good. Feeling guilty and missing them is 100% normal, but it doesn’t make it a bad thing. My husband and I take 2-3 little quick trips a year without our kids. We look forward to it and always have a good time and come back refreshed.
