[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]eh, I understand wanting to get away for a weekend but you are using your vacation leave and personal finances to fund these trips while telling your husband that you are traveling on "business".  In the meantime, your husband is stuck at home holding down the fort - going to work and wrangling two toddlers to daycare and back and taking care of them while you're gone having "me time".

How would you feel if he did this?  Suppose he told you that he was traveling for business but he was really booking himself nice trips at the beach or NYC or wherever and using his vacation leave and family finances to pay for it....

 This poster is making the same point I was going to make. I additionally  agree with the other posters about the deception. I am more than happy to allow my husband to take time off away from the family to regroup; however, he does it with my blessing. I would be very resentful if I found out he was sneaking away for a few days here and there a few times a year. I need a break too. I am just like your husband and I feel family time is extremely important, but everyone needs a break. Be open about it discuss it and come up with the plan    You may be surprised to find out that he wants a break as well periodically. You  have to be prepared to be home alone with the kids one or two times a year with yourself.   Raising kids is hard. I can see wanting this once a year, but a couple times a year seems a lot to me [/quote]
