[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I have a fairly recently added group of new mom friends, all of them from Europe. In general I admire how they still maintain parts of their identity instead of just falling into the mom trap. We've done a weekend away once a year (or even one night this year) and it has been a great time. I miss my kids but also recognize that a little break can make me come home and be a much better mom. I think its good to keep some parts of you that aren't kid related. I also think that the parenting style of everything in our lives being changed to accommodate our children may not be healthy in the long run.

[b]All this just to say that loving our kids and needing a break are not opposites.[/b]  [/quote]

Exactly this.  You can both "actually like" spending time with your kids, and enjoy spending time away from them.  These are not mutually exclusive.  I love my kids and we do lots together, but I also love spending time just with my husband, and with my friends, and alone.  I can do all of these things and still love my kids.  [/quote]
