 So this weekend my husband and I will be celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary. To celebrate, he is treating me to a trip to Las Vegas. While I definitely am enjoying this fun and much needed get away, I can't help but feel a tinge of "mommy guilt". This is a feeling that I am very familiar with. Whenever I am required to be away from my boys, be it for work, a getaway with my husband or an outing with friends, I always have this tiny sense of guilt for leaving them. I know that even moms deserve a break every now and again, but I can't help but feeling like I need to be with them 24/7.
Now I know that most people don't associate Las Vegas aka "Sin City" with kids (unless you think of all the kids that were probably conceived here), so bringing my boys really wasn't an option, but that doesn't mean that I don't wish they were here. Even though they may pluck my last nerve and make me want to pull out my bundles, they are still my boys. My head will tell my that I deserve some "me" time but my heart will still say that I need to be super mom at all times. Can any of my fellow moms relate? If so, how are some of the ways that you deal with this feeling? Leave me a comment and let me know! Anywho, I am going to try to enjoy my little getaway and post plenty of stories and pics while I am here. Check back throughout the week to hear all about my trip!!!

Awww thank you hun! It's definitely tough being a "supermom" but it's well worth it!!! You're right that breaks are necessary though. :)

It's so hard on me when I leave my kids.....it was harder on my 1st, by the 2nd I was like yeah she will be just fine....LOL but we just have to tell ourselves if we don't take this break I don't know where my mind will be.....you just take that time you need and long as you know they are in good hands...you better enjoy.....and to be honest it's harder on us then it is on them.

You are sooo right! I know it's harder on me than on them lol. Everytime I call to check on the they are chillin' lol, I'm the one all upset. This break was definitely necessary though.

If it wasn't for FaceTime, I would never leave! I am happy that I'm not the only mom that feels that way! However I do enjoy alone time with my hubby, but we both are flying back to our son ASAP!!!

No girl you are definitely not alone! I miss them so much when I'm gone but I know that me and the hubby need alone time as well. Hopefully it will get easier the older they get. :( Leave a Reply. |
