Severe Separation Anxiety

Not the boys - it's me. We have vacation scheduled and I've already cancelled reservations for nine days and knocked it down to 7 and then went from seven to 5. I couldn't imagine staying away longer and not seeing my angels. The closer it gets to loading up the luggage the harder time I'm having. I know they will have grown a foot before I get back and they will do so many cute things and I won't be here to see it. Luckily for me, their aunt calls them everyday so they love talking on the phone. If you see me posting here before next weekend, you'll know I caved and came back even earlier.

 

Go on vacation! It's good for all of you. It's hard at first, but it's so impt for everyone in the family (the kids too). We've done a few 2-3 night trips away. I wish we could get away for a whole week. Yes, I miss them. But DH & I NEED that time together and the SLEEP.
Call often, have their aunt take lots of pics and videos, etc. But take a break! You deserve it!

 

:hug99: I hope you have a great time!!

 

Kathy, you crack me up! And here I just posted about being scared to KEEP my grandsons for a week, lol. I think of you everytime I wonder if I'm going to be able to handle them!

Hope you have (or had if you're reading this after the fact!) a great vacation!!!!! You deserve it!!

 

I totally understand what you are going thru. I know some people WANT to get away for awhile. Who can blame them?? I am SUCH a wimp- I NEED a break so does DH BADLY. I work during the day and DH works afternoon until 12am. We do not have any family nearby. I have to travel for work 2 times a year for 3-4 nights and that is more than enough time away from them. I just feel so guilty for working and then to take time away from them when I know how fast time fly's - No thanks. My in- laws even said they would watch the 3 kids if we wanted to go on vacation. So sweet- I can't do it. To many worries.. and guilt.

Now with that said I am not the norm. I know it would be good for you and DH (me and DH also) As well as the kids. I am condsidering a long weekend sometime. With the weather getting warmer... It will probally be next winter

I do hope you have a good time/ GEAT time. GOD knows you need the rest!!

Let us know how it goes/went
