[quote=Anonymous]We don't have family we can leave our kids with for extended periods (but we have let our kids sleep at grandparents' houses for a night so we could have a local date night), but with kids in middle elementary, I think we'll be able to travel solo, at least for a weekend away, within the next few years. By 8/9 kids are a lot more independent. We've already talked with other families about trading weekend with kids to give each other a break for anniversaries or a big birthday -- I'd happily host their kids for a couple nights and it sounds like they'd do the same.

We've also started looking into sleep away camp. I never thought our DD would be interested in that but she recently made a kind of leap forward in maturity and now I could totally see it and she seems interested.

So no, I don't think you have to wait another 14 years.

I think the people who have relatives they can leave kids with for days at a time are in the minority. I only know a couple people who have this as an option.[/quote]
