[quote=Anonymous]For me it's a money thing (since you're specifically talking about weekends away). I do (and need!) regular friend get togethers (dinner, brunch, nights out, nights in...), but when it comes to the expenses of a multi-night getaway it's hard to justify spending money for a vacation for only me; I feel guilty and we're not loaded enough that it wouldn't feel like I was taking away from money that could be spent on family vacation, which is definitely the priority. That said, I do go away with my group of close girlfriends once a year; we just plan something that isn't extravagant. I know some of my friends are in different financial situations (some don't even have kids) and their ideal destinations would be more exciting than where we usually end up. But they understand that some of us couldn't join in that case, and obviously it's appreciated that we all work together to plan what works for the most people, because those once a year getaways are much anticipatied and SO fun.

For argument's sake, you said it's lame that they won't leave their kids and go away with you, but then mentioned that when you were in this stage you would just bring your baby with you. Which is it? Also keep in mind that it's a lot easier to have people cater to you when you're the only one who has a baby[/quote]
