WYDT? Going away a weekend DS is home?

DS is gone EOW.  I have MS.  DH doesn't quite understand the effects that the disease has on me.  The National MS society is having a "relationship seminar" that happens to be on a weekend when DS is home.  It is an overnight thing, but I think it may be good for DH and I to attend.  I know Nathan would be fine with staying with his sisters and my parents, I just feel guilty.  Would you do it?

    Yes. Help for mommy is help for DS. And he'll have a great time with grandma. I'm assuming the abusive prick doesn't have right of first refusal?

    Maybe leave a care package behind. Movie tickets, DVD rental, pizza for the night?

    nope, he does not have right of first refusal.  He didn't even attempt that one!

    What is more important for your son, another same old weekend with mommy or growing up in a happy, healthy family?

    Go - it will be good for him to have a break from the old routine of your house, dad?s house. 

    I mean jeeze its not like your going to be partying it up.  FWIW - if you asked should you and DH go party it up I also would have said go, you?re hardly abandoning him.

    I'm like you...I normally spend every second of EOW with DS since I feel like our weekends are sacred. But in this case, I'd go. It's good for your marriage and that's good for DS. Make sure your mom/dad have something kind of special planned...send a special movie or something. And enjoy the night away!
