I feel you! My daughter was born December 2014 and second daughter was born in March 2018. I have only been away 8 nights (4 differnt trips and all for work) since 2014. Because of work issues, my husband and I didnβt overlap with vacation days in 2014, 2015 or 2016 and in 2017 and 2019 only overlapped on half of our vacation days. So basically, for the past 4 summers I have had to take care of my children the month of August all by myself (with my parents help but we all know that grandparents are never the bad ones and let the little ones get away with everything). Anyways, this August I was burned our mentally after being with the girls so I decided to book a Disney trip with my best friend. I will be heading to Disneyland Paris (I live in spain) the last week of November and meeting up with my best friend, who lives in California, in Paris. Yay! I need and adult only girls trip. I feel so guilty and will miss them like crazy but I NEED it
I relate to this so much. When my youngest was 1, it had been almost 4 years since I had 24 hours without one or both kids! I needed a break so badly even though I loved being with my kids. I planned a solo Disneyland trip for 3 nights and it was such a great reset button. I now do it annually- 3 nights alone at DL. I come back a better mom… for at least a day hahaha! More patience, appreciation, etc… Iβm so glad youβre taking care of yourself. Moms need it and deserve it. And letβs be real, Disney is pretty dang amazing kid free too.

Me time is so important. I know I am a bit late on this, but I hope you had an amazing trip. I bet you were so excited to get home to your girls π
Thank you, Kimmy!!
