Parents deserve to have a break and go on trips. My husband and I go on a trip every year just the two of us. Twice this year. Don’t listen to your family. Go and have a great time.

Go. My mother went for six weeks of training when I was a teen with siblings strung out behind me. We all did just fine.
Go have fun. Every mom can use a break. And do not feel bad about it.
Youve done everything to make sure your kids are looked after while you’re away, and it’s not like their little babies anymore. You need time for you, and you deserve it

Go girl go! You deserve it. You’ll be an even better mom when you get back, if you aren’t already. Mom’s need a break and your kids are plenty old to not worry.
Good, Runn, have a great time!!!

If they are so concerned, then why don’t they step up and watch them?

Have your family watch them
Oh no hunny you pack up and go have some fun !
It’s definitely okay to leave them with a sitter you trust especially if your bills are paid and etc
Absolutely go. If you trust your baby sitter and the kids like her. If you are feeling a little cautious, get a friend or family member to check on the kids.

Have you had some vacations with the kiddos? If so you need to feel like you can enjoy yourself and come back refreshed. Do any of these family members parent alone?
Go! Have fun! To take care of them you need to take care of yourself too!
You, the kids and the babysitter will love it! Go! Your decision is the only one that counts!

Your children actually need to learn that it’s ok 4 mom to go away and everything will be fine! If u start getting mom guilt maybe call them every night to say goodnight.

If it’s either a sitter you know or a certified sitter, I don’t see an issue. If your family sees an issue, tell them they can help out by either paying your bills and you won’t go, or they can watch your kids for you while you go. If you are a single mother, you do what you have to do to provide for your children. Sometimes that means spending less time with them than you want to. It’s a bonus if you can have some fun while on a work trip.

Screw them. This is your life. Your taking care of what needs taking care of and your one of those things. Go love your life. No apologies or approval required. Tell them until they pay your bills you don’t think they need a say.

They don’t pay your bills nor do they babysit for you obviously. This is a job opportunity. As long as you know 1000% your kids are gonna be safe and cared for then go. If you have any doubt that mom gut feeling to stay then stay if not then go and I hope your business picks up.

Omg dont listen to them go and enjoy yourself!!! You pay the Bill’s you take care of your own kids you have a right to be someone other than just a MOM!!!
Just make sure you take they on vacation some where to
Go. It’s hard being a stay at home mom. I’ll be 27 this month and I have a 6 and 2 year old, I have separation anxiety (I I don’t let them see it because I saw it and it caused issues for me as a child separating from my parents, when my daughter was only six months old I had left for a week to go to Cancun and it was a very hard decision to make but the trip was already paid for and I would’ve look like a jerk if I didn’t go I also knew that I needed a break even though it felt like hell leaving my kids. Everyone was encouraging for me to go because they know the separation anxiety I had for my now six year old. You need your time you deserve you time others opinions don’t matter not even on here goes what makes you feel most comfortable, if you feel the need to To take a break then that’s what you should do in my opinion. I’m sure this wasn’t very helpful but I just wanted to put in my two cents because I’ve been in your situation
Go!!! You deserve it!
As a single parent i wish i had done more . Please go and enjoy . Trust me the kids will love the freedom as much as you .
Go the kids will see it as an adventure
I think you should go. You should have your time. You can call them.
Moms need breaks too. As long as you’ve gotten everything taken care of go.
Every parent deserves a getaway take the trip or you will definitely regret it

Sometimes you need to take care of you. Some day your kids will be grown and gone and sometimes they won’t call to check in on you. Take care of you.
Omg go and enjoy yourself. I went on a vacation for 7 days when my son was a toddler. Someone is always going to say something, if you have everything lined up already and you know your kids are going to be well taken care of I say go for it. You only live once!

Unless they’re paying everything for you they shouldn’t be telling you what to do in regards to your finances or your kids.
Go on the trip, you have been responsible and the kids are set to be taken care of. You deserve to be away from them even if it’s not for work. Self care is so important. It will make you a better mom. Hugs and love.

Omg go have fun fuck what your family thinks I left my 8momth old and 2 years old 3 times this summer for 3-4 day festivals. You’re only young once too. Live your life as long as your kids are taken care of you got a sitter why not.
Go, you deserve the break from them.
Go on the trip!! As long as your kids will be a with someone healthy and trust worthy! GOOo!!
If its a good trusting person looking after children it’s ok " but not something I could do " if anything happens to your children you will never forgive yourself "
Go have some you time momma!!
Omg mom please go. Don’t let your family use guilt on you.
I once babysat two small kids (1 and 3) for 2 weeks while their parents went on vacation. The parents got a nice break, and the kids were happy and well cared for while they were gone. I think those trips are absolutely okay on occasion.
Tell them to start paying you a living wage and you will stay home
Go have fun!! And do not feel guilty!!
Your kids are not babies, they are great age to enjoy time with a sitter and you need a break too occasionally. Don’t let others make you feel bad. The kids will be fine, maybe have local friends or fam check in on them if u feel nervous or fam feels like stopping by (if they are nearby) but go enjoy ur trip!
Go! You’ve made arrangements for your children to be cared for. You need time for yourself also. Have fun.
