Hi can I have a post please?

I have a 6 and 4 year old and I’m going on holiday with out them. Problem is I’m riddled with guilt and worrying about leaving them so much! My partner booked it as a surprise for me as I’m always whinging I need a break. Am I being over dramatic? Have any other mams left their children to go away??

  • I’m going away without my little girl who will be 6 months for 4 days, she’s staying with my mum and dad who she knows and trusts, she’s stayed odd nights with them before and I am always going round to their house to get her use to the setting. Think I’ll miss her more than she misses me! But we all deserve a break. Being a mum maybe ‘wonderful’ but it’s god dam hard work! Xx

  • I left my two last year to go to a wedding in Turkey for a week (aged 2 n half and just turned 1) … I felt just the same, I sobbed when I left them… but deep down I found peace in knowing I’d left them with people I wholly trust (1 with my sister and other with their nan) and it was such a lovely week. Me n my partner actually got to spend some quality relaxed time together, and it completely refreshed us both! Don’t feel guilty. In the end your kids will appreciate your return and they’ll realise how chilled you are and they’ll appreciate that more than see you stressed all the time. Enjoy yourself! Xx

  • I’m going away for 2 weeks yeah I feel guilty but then I don’t at the same time. He’s going to have so much fun he’s going away with his dad and then staying with my mum for a week he’s gonna love it and probably won’t even miss me πŸ˜‚

  • I’d be worried about leaving my baby behind too but he wouldn’t book it if he didn’t think you deserve it. Go, have fun, relax. Your babies will be in good care.

  • I went to Kavos for a week for my sisters 21st and left my then 2 year old daughter and was upset for 2/3 days then the rest of the week I just enjoyed it the best I could.. then last year I left my 6 & 2 year old to my go magaluf for a hen weekend and sounds harsh but of course I missed them but the break was nice and knowing the other girls left children too made it easier. I’d say you only live once so 100% enjoy it and relax 😘

  • Awesome 7 days of my life since being a mum having a holiday but you do miss them but try enjoy it it’s not forever

  • Go and enjoy! The way i look at it is if you’re not doing it all the time and the kids get a holiday too i dont see the problem. Its the ones who are off on holiday kid free all the time and the kids never go anywhere that i believe is wrong x
