[quote=Anonymous]Do day trips during the day, while your nanny is watching the kids. You can get a hotel room, or ask the nanny to bring the kids out of the house for a couple hours. (It's amazing how luxurious it is to be home, but without the kids there.) In a couple years, you can bring your kids on vacation with you, and it'll be fun, if you make the effort. We haven't had a vacation alone since the first child was born, 10 years ago, but we try to do daytime dates from time to time, and it's way less pressure/more relaxing and still fun. We will resume traveling when the kids get older. We could have looked for a nanny or babysitter that did overnights, but I just don't think couple-only vacations are crucial, and paying for overnight childcare plus travel expenses adds up fast, so a lot of pressure for it to be perfect. I'm sure it works for some people, but too much trouble for me. [/quote]
