[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. OP- it sounds like you don't take care of your kid FT at home. I'm a single mom and I was just so happy to be anywhere else that I didn't care that I was tired. I was already tired but now at least I was tired in a pretty place.

My mom paid for us to go to the beach for a few days every year. It was so nice. I guess I didn't have any expectations that I was going on a vacation. It was just a change of scenery and it was only me so there was no expectation that anyone was going to be there to help me. My kid was the Energizer Bunny from 6am on. We'd go for beach walks after breakfast before it was hot. Early lunch and nap for both of us (since there was minimal housework to do except throw in a load of laundry). After that, we went back to the beach as people were leaving. After dinner, we might go back to the beach to watch people fly kites.

I actually thought it was easier since I only had my kid. My job was a nanny caring for my child and another child so I cut my work in half those few days. If I had the money, I'd go on a real vacation for a few days sans kid. It will give you something to look forward to. My little one is 18 and we still go to the beach. Now he sits next to me and we fall asleep in our chairs. Lol.[/quote]

I am a full time SAHM. I don’t know where you got the impression I don’t care for my kids full time. [/quote]
