Mom's Vacation Poll

[airial95]

I promised I'd post this poll the other night, but it's been a little rough in our house, so here it is...

 

Since I could only do 3 questions, I had to limit them. So feel free to add a comment listing where you're voting from so we can try to identify our options!!

 

Thanks!

Hard to believe no one else commented on this... is that because we all think we can't possibly get away? I know I often feel that way myself. :~/ I'd honestly be up for any break here and there, as long as it is within driving distance and not too expensive.

Yes, I think I can't possibly get away! Honestly, just having dad "babysit" for a few hours (I did get to see a movie w/ my other 2 daughters last month!) is really difficult for my daughter. Maybe I'm codependent?

I've been on one, forced 3-day business trip in the 2 years since DS became really ill, and it wasn't much fun.

 

Thankfully, this weekend, a couple of my girlfriends are "kidnapping" me for a spa weekend just a couple of hours away for my birthday! I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm also nervous about how well DS will do without me around. DH is great and pretty hands on, but nobody is really a substitute for Mom, especially when he hits a rough patch.

 

Peg -- I think I'm codependent, too!

That's what I thought. I too, am terribly reluctant to leave her with anyone else and have given up nearly everything in my life (umm, ok... can't think of anything, except that one dance class I am taking, but she comes with me); but, due to her dad and I being divorced, I'm forced into it every Tuesday evening and every other weekend. Honestly, while I know I NEED a break, some rest and down time, I would be really worried about it too.

 

My Mom has a time share that she graciously invited us to last month. We slept almost the entire time but did manage to at least go for 2 days. It did help a little.
