Should I to the them park w/o my kids or not

Question

Well I have a 2yr old and a 3 yr old. My 3 yr old loves themes parks. Last weekend we went to one and had so much fun. Today my sister invited me just to go in the afternoon because I'm working but she wants me to go by myself so we could get on the rides. I already have someone to take care of them while I go but I just feel kind of guilty for going. Now, I'm the type of mom that I'm only away from my kids while I work during the day 7am to 4pm. I'm still debating, what should I do .. any opinions?

Answer 1

I know what you mean about feeling guilty- it's really hard to do things for yourself and by yourself sometimes when you're a parent. That shows you are putting your kids first and that you love them. I say go and have fun! You stated that you have someone to watch them, so go and enjoy yourself. It's ok to take time for yourself.

Answer 2

GO!!  You need time  for yourself too!!  Do not feel guilty!  Getting out and doing stuff is great stress relief it will probably make time with your kids even better!!  Enjoy yourself!

Answer 3

Why not.  Just because you work, doesn't mean you can't take some time away from the kids and have fun.  

Answer 4

It's ok to be happy and enjoy things for yourself.  It doesn't mean you're doing any less for your children.

Think of it this way... when your kids are parents do you want them only to experience joy through their kids.  Would you want them to pour every potentially free second into only things for their children?

Answer 5

They're 2 and 3 years old, for crying out loud. It's not like it's going to scar them for the rest of their lives...

Answer 6

Just go!  I have NO ONE to watch my kids.  Ever.  So I would die to have some alone time.  You don't have to tell the kids you are going to an amusement park.  Just tell them you are spending some time with their  auntie.

Answer 7

you should just go! and be free for once. and know what it feels like to not care for the kids for at least one day, and relieve your stress
