[quote=Anonymous]My question to OP is: did you not think about this before kids? Yes, some families do have grandparents or family to leave children with, but even for them- it can change in an instant as grandparents age or have health issues (particularly true now that most are starting families later in life compared to past generations). We’ve been married 20yrs and have teens, with most of our friends in a similar stage. Very few of us have had a lot of opportunity for many “couples vacations without the kids”. Some did when the children were very small, but has fizzled out (as grandparents have aged ). Many have done family trips, bringing the grandparents along to help- sure. Many used resorts with childcare or brought a nanny for small kids. Most have been able to cobble together arrangements to be away a night or two as needed/wanted. But this expectation of regular trips/vacations without the kids is pretty unrealistic for the vast majority of families. [/quote]
