[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the kids are gone, which will be sooner than you think, you’ll regret not taking more time to be with them. [/quote]

Or maybe she, like a lot of moms, will feel frustrated by how much her life she gave up for her kids when her kids didn’t really need her to? [/quote]

Sorry but no.  Preferring to work than vacation with your family is the stuff that strained relations are made of when kids grow up.  Listen to Cats and the Cradle. [/quote]

The dad in cats cradle never spent a week with his kid on vacation!

Also how is this different than taking any time off from kids? I think we would all say that it’s totally fine when a parent wants to go out for several days to be with friends. And OP isn’t even telling her family she doesn’t want to be with them, just that she has things she needs to do at home.

I think it’s good for kids to see that their parents have their own lives. People tend to respect moms more when they are very present and loving with their kids but also set boundaries so they can live their own lives too. [/quote]

It's 2 weeks of a family vacation. Not giving up all her free time for the rest of her life.[/quote]

A 2-week family vacation is excessive. It is expensive and it is excessive. A lot of people do not want to be away from home for more than a week. It's disruptive. An exception is international travel due to time to travel. No one needs a two-week family vacation. It's absurd. And absurb people are guilting OP into doing it. One week is more than enough. If he wants two weeks, he can do one week alone with the kids.
