[quote=Anonymous]Your mom sounds fantastic and your dad sounds like a really great husband.

It's possible that your dad has traveled enough in the past that he is pretty much over it and prefers to stick closer to home.  Your mom, on the other hand, was at home with the kids while you were growing up and her focus and energy was spent on her home and family.  It's not that she regrets SAH, not at all, but she now has the freedom to spread her wings a little bit.  She's putting some love and energy into herself, into her passions and her own personal development.  This is good because her children now have their own lives, her husband has a solid career with all of the connections that come with it and if she didn't branch out she would be left rattling around the house by herself.  Your dad seems to get that.

I'm a SAHM and, while 12 weeks away from my husband every year seems a bit much to me, I can totally see myself wanting to get out and see some of the world with a group of girlfriends once or twice a year.  We could share on hotel accommodations and keep each other safe.  I love that your mom is teaching fitness classes now.  She has really reinvented herself in a positive way.  Good for her!
