[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This entire trend is just crazy. [b]What is wrong with taking time away from your kids? Seriously?[/b] 1 week or a long weekend in the grand scheme of life is not going to be the end of the world.

We have only taken 1 vacation without our kids (10 yr anniversary trip) mostly due to not having easy access to child care, had to fly my parents here for the one trip we took. But that one trip, 5 days in total was so nice. I love my kids and I love traveling with them, I really do. We've done lots of big trips with them, But it is also really nice to have some  adult time away. To do everything on your own schedule, to not have to deal with the kids fighting, to go out for a late dinner and so forth.

I get limited vacation time so I can't see doing this once a year with my husband, but if I had more vacation time I would. Last year I took a few "girls weekend trips" and those we nice too. [/quote]

Nothing and no one said it was weird. Many said the opposite is weird though (wanting to travel with your kids and not wanting to leave them behind) and were pretty rude about it.

I don't care what you do but don't call my family weird just because you do something different.[/quote]

I don’t think you’re weird for having different vacation preferences  but do question whether we have been reading the same thread.....[/quote]
