[quote=Anonymous]I feel the same, OP.  I have a lot of friends with grandparents who are thrilled to take the kids while mom and dad do a long weekend in Miami or whatever.  Because of what I will freely admit are my CHOICES, I do not have this option. Both sets of parents are distant geographically and mine have health challenges that make it impossible for them for travel to us for any extended period of time.  My kids are in daycare/aftercare and we don't have a nanny.

When we just had one DS, my sister came and stayed with him for a weekend so we could travel to a wedding.  She was in law school at the time, so was very flexible, and my son was at a pretty easy stage where he slept through the night and napped great and was overall fairly easy to take care of.  I don't see that happening again though, as she is a busy lawyer now and it's a much bigger ask with two boys (4 and 1).

Like you, I love my kids and my life (and my parents!) and would not trade any of those.  But it would be amazing to be able to get away for a long weekend for our anniversary, for example.  The people flaming you are ridiculous.
