i have not had a holiday since 2006 Dec. i feel so lost and disconnected from my spouse.

my earliest take away can be in Nov .. but im little scared about leaving kids behind( they'l be three) i feel wat if i crash and never come back

Answer 1

I understand that it can be difficult to leave your children behind because you will miss them.  But, we're only talking two weeks here.  They'll be fine.  As for crashing and never coming back, that's not very likely.  You could have a car accident and never come back from the grocery store.  That's a risk we take just by putting ourselves on the roadways.  I wouldn't let it stop me.  Go and have a good time with your husband.  Your children will be there with big smiles and hugs when you return.

Answer 2

Spend time alone with your husband and don't worry about what might happen. h**l sometimes people die in their homes.  

Answer 3

No way, not at that age. Take them, and have a great family vacation.

Answer 4

Just because you have children does not mean that you are not allowed a vacation.  Talk to your mother or his mother, or a relative about caring for them.  As long as they can reach you, and have specific instruction on doctors # foods, allergies, etc.., there is no reason for worry.  You can hop on a plane back, if an emergency occurs.

As far as something happening to you, you could cross the street tomorrow and get run over.  You can't go through life worrying about things that may never happen.  As long as you take precautions, that is the best you can do.

Answer 5

Aw hun, look, yes you're a mother, but you're a person too.

Go, recharge, your children will be fine & you'll come back with lots of presents for them.

You need the break, you've earned it, you deserve it, so go.

Good Luck. X :-)

Answer 6

Go.You need time with your husband away from the kids sometimes.

Don't stress,even if something bad was going to happen to you it could happen at any time, even when you are home with them.

Don't let that get in the way.

Answer 7

Go on holiday and re connect with your husband.  You could die driving on any road on any highway at any time.  Make sure you have a Will in place if you are that worried about it

Have fun

Answer 8

Ask a relative to help in this.....babysit for you....Hire a nurse/babysitter works for short times......check into that.....good luck....

Answer 9

you live life as a parent for your kids right. there is nothing wrong with taking some time for your marrage now they are not babies antmore. at least do it for the sake of love

Answer 10

I believe sometimes you have to spend vacation along with your spouse, but if you have enough budget it would be nicer if you spend a vacation with your family together.
