[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids are younger than yours, at 2 and 3.5. But we will probably just take a long weekend away a couple of times a year and have friends watch the kids, and then we'll watch their kids so they can take their long weekend away. Quid pro quo, you know? [/quote]

OP here. In all sincerity please count your blessings if this is an option. Unfortunately I can't think of any friends that would be up for this for a number of reasons - friends with kids close in age are t good enough friends, and close friends have much younger kids and are at capacity as is.  But hopefully we can develop these types of relationships eventually.[/quote]

Uhhh well you asked what people do. They answered. Is the goal of your post to remind everyone who has good options to count their blessings? [/quote]

You're right, I did ask, and I appreciate the PPs response.  While it doesn't help me short term it was a good reminder that this is something worth working towards. The post brought up some sad emotions for me because we've had these types of friends in the past but moved relatively recently and I still feel the loss acutely. But PPs suggestion is a good one.

I also appreciate the other responses. It reminds me to be happy for what we do have. [/quote]
