[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a kid in my daughter's class who lost her dad. The kid is clearly lost and struggling. Her behavior is terrible, she's a bully, etc. Her mom also travels a lot by herself (or with men). Would it be different if her mom took less "me time"? I can't say for sure, but I also know that not being like that mom is one the guiding lights of my parenting.[/quote]

Oh please. Maybe she was like this before her father died. [b]Maybe this is OP's first time in a year going away from her kids[/b]. That's very different than going off with different potential new daddies every few months.[/quote]

I find everything the OP has said to be suspect.  This is abnormal to leave your kids behind if you have lost your spouse.  
 
Why does this mom needs to be away from her tween kids who have lost a dad, for a few days? Sorry. Something is not adding up.

I absolutely get wanting to get away for a few hours, or have a quite house so that you can sleep in etc.  This sounds like a weird trip.  Are you sure that the old friend of her late husband who has invited her is a "she".  Seems like a booty call trip to me. [/quote]
