[quote=sdsurfer]I wanted to chime in with something an older wiser person shared with me about a year into having my son.
Maybe I looked tired that day or something, but he told me that is was necessary to allow the grandparents or someone you trust to take care of the kid(s) for one weekend each year so that Mom and Dad can be a couple again for a couple days.
At first it felt like a selfish thing to do, but after the first year was over and he was off the boob the grandparents offered to help make it happen we did it and I must say I think it’s a good thing to do. Having children is the most full time awesome thing that you can do, but that does not mean that you should not set aside just a couple days to spend with the one you fell in love with that led to it. The grandparents loved the opportunity to spend some extra time with the little guy too.[/quote]
Totally agree with this.
Of course, we’ve only done it once in over 12 years. 🙁
