[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are people. Children should know and understand that. Some of the best times of my childhood was spending time with my grandparents and cousins. Also sleep away camp, which I did from 5 to 15. My parents didn't abandon me or hate me, in fact, as a tween I wished my mother was less helicopter-y, she was there ALL OF THE TIME, and taking time away to enjoy themselves was good for them.

Same!  We didn't have a lot of money growing up and took fairly simple vacations but dad won a couple trips through his work to Australia and Hawaii.  It covered two people only and they never could have afforded to take us, so we had a fun week with my grandma and aunt instead. Chocolate pancakes for dinner, movie nights, etc.  It was good for them and I didnt feel abandoned at all.

Now as parents of two little ones we’ve been appreciative when my in-laws have offered to come visit and babysit. We don’t have local family so breaks are few and far between, of course we are going to take them up on it!  Nothing fancy, we went skiing one time and another we just went to another city and visited art museums, breweries, etc. [/quote]
