Sorry, I don't have a conscious, much less a guilty conscious.
I'll call him, if I get service at the beach.

Love, the party sister.

you don't like my answer ...

no it's not weird
it does not mean your marriage is on the rocks
it means you are 2 people with different needs - at times - other times you intertwine


or it means you need one of you to stay home with the kids and you have such a strong marriage that your dh is willing to take on your role for a few days so you can get a break, even though he'd love nothing more than to go with you!

I second celebrating Saba's birthday in Florida. Especially cuz he would actually remember it, lol.
We can invite all non-ax-murdering imamothers.


To Guilty Wives Who Need a Vacation: It goes like this: Hi DH, I just reserved hotel/plane/car rental for mm/dd/yy to mm/dd/yy. I can still adjust it if you'd like to join. If not, that's ok. I'll leave a detailed to do list regarding child care along with schedules. Because I love you, I'll add hatzala's number to the list in case of emergency. Unfortunately, I will not have cell phone coverage where I am going.

There, that wasn't so hard, was it?

OTOH, my mil wanted to take the kids on winter vacation. I thought, ge gezunt but I'm not wasting my vacation days on my mil. I said, I really can't take off from work at that time. And sent dh and kids. I kept baby, stayed at my parents, worked a regular schedule, and went out on different nights, which is more then I get out in a year, so it was awesome for me. (added bonus, dh came back with full appreciation for what I actually do with kids and home on a daily basis). It was closest thing I got to a vacation in my whole life and it was AMAZING!!

so there are your two options.

Splitpea- if you can't get someone to go with, go by yourself.

I am needing a vacation badly. Dh can't take off and has told me to feel free to take one myself. I don't really want to go anywhere along. Anyone out there equally need a vacation and open to being travel buddies? I am open on locations, Israel, Vegas, Grand Canyon, Hawaii, I am really open. I just need to get away for a bit.

If this is something you would be seriously interested in please let me know (please be willing to play Jewish geography and/or give references before travel plans are made - I would happily do the same)

I am not looking for something luxurious and will NOT be looking at 5 star places. Honestly money is tight but I NEED to get away so financially I will be cutting corners as much as I can and hope to find an equally frugal but fun loving travel buddy.


back to basics ... did you get somewhere ? send us a post card Cool

What's the second option? Have your mil take my kids on vacation?

I do not recommend sending my mil with anybody's kids! But if you can't go on vacation by yourself, send everyone else away for a vacation, and enjoy a stay-cation by yourself.
