[quote=Anonymous]I can afford time away but I DON'T WANT TO. I LIKE my life. Yes I get annoyed and my teens are slobs and can give attitude and my husband can get super one track mind about work....yes yes yes. But a month away doesn't sound like a reward. 
But especially with older self sufficient kids....what am I escaping? They can and do fend for themselves so the demands on my person aren't like when they were little. I am extremely independent and have traveled on my own and all that. But I don't want to leave my life for a month. And esp with teens I can see the end on the horizon. To yeet out of that time seems so wasteful and silly.

My neighbor and her husband are always "getting away" or "sneaking off" (I hate that phrase. you didn't tiptoe through the dark to go on a vacation. You planned a trip adn took it. just own it). It's so much so that my husband and I are like what are you guys running from? Is home life that miserable that every other weekend you have to have a getaway? Life is just so hard? What the heck.

So is Jen bored, overwhelmed, trying to prove something or what? [/quote]
