[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a co-parent?  How do they feel about being always on with a 2- and 4-yo every weekend for 3 months?  Only you can decide if this deal is worth it, but you need to factor in that someone will need to look after your own kids 24/7 on the weekend.  [/quote]

+1 what does your coparent think? This is so hard, I don't think I could do it honestly. My husband has about 3 months every two years where he is VERY busy and working at all hours. but he works from home so he's able to still be present for dinner and bedtime, and except for a couple weeks still have plenty of present moments on the weekend. he gets a big bonus for this time and every year we are still unsure if it's worth it. But then again we did use it for our home renovation so I feel you, in that sense maybe it was.

It is so short term that yes, your kids would of course be fine, but yes they would certainly miss you and you would miss them. For me even beyond that is the partner that is home alone with two kids every weekend. That would be very hard for me! [/quote]
