[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 646211, member: 4152"] My husband went on trips a lot, but they weren't out of the country. I ended up going on a fair amount of them, especially when the kids got older. I would hire a sitter and then have relatives or good friends "check" on them regularly. Hopefully, when your kids are older, if it is a truly outstanding trip, you could do something like this. Also, don't hesitate to go on any trips made available to you otherwise...so that you get out of the house and have fun. And, think about planning a trip for a big anniversary together. Our son + a difficult child were a handful and we have very very few relatives. When they were teens, we ended up in counseling. The weird thing is that we got along fairly well, but we were under constant stress. The first thing the counselor said was to go on a vacation. We booked a cruise for something like 8 days. I had a good friend watch our two children for 4 days and then they were transferred to a cousin for the remaining four days. And I had another friend check in on them the entire time, offering advice and any help, especially with reference to difficult child. It took a great amount of planning. After that, I started to go on some of the trips he took here and there. We saw them as actually a somewhat economical vacation, since his flight and the hotel room was paid for. We would plan for them. [/QUOTE]
