[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn't have anyone to watch our kids so, no, didn't take a trip without them for many years. But we did go every year to a family camp where the kids were busy all day with their own things and DH and I could just spend time together.

Really, I never felt like I was missing anything not traveling without the kids. We still did regular local date nights, which seemed more important. I've never been a big traveler and my parents never traveled without us kids so that seems normal to me.

I can see it mattering more if travel was a big part of your pre-kids couple life.[/quote]

We’ve always had regular date nights (weekly, sometimes more) and made abundant use of babysitters. We do enjoy travel but have always just done things where the kids could come along (and made good use of kids clubs and hotel babysitting, connecting rooms etc). We’ve left the kids overnight a few times (with a sitter or friends) out of necessity, but is kind of a hassle with young kids IMHO. We’ve never family available to take them overnight. We genuinely don’t feel like we have missed out of anything.

We also each do regular trips with friends. [/quote]
