Vacation without baby?

in May 2011 Moms

Do any of you plan on taking a vacation without LO? DH is navy and he has a mandatory trip to Vegas with one guest. People are telling me I am selfish for going, Our hotel, his food, and his airfare are completely paid for. I only need to pay for my flight and food. I will be gone 3days and 4 nights. 

Oh and I should add we get there the day after I turn 21.  

Do you think I am being selfish for taking a vacation with DH? LO will be with my mom in capable hands.

    Personally, I don't think that is selfish at all. I'm sure you'll get mixed responses, but if given the opportunity I would do the same. 

    DH is going to Japan for a month on business and if it wasn't for the radiation issue (I'm just paranoid) I would be going to visit him for a long weekend leaving LO with my mom.

    just because you birthed a child doesnt mean you need to be tied to it 24/7.  live your life and have fun.

    I have yet to go on a vacation with DH alone, but if that sort of opportunity showed up for us, you can bet I'd be jumping on it! Go and have fun!

    It isn't selfish at all, only a few days, and LO will be well taken care of.

    I couldn't do it, but if you're comfortable with leaving her, go for it.

    It's 100% NOT selfish. I say go and enjoy yourself! If we had the same opportunity we'd totally go.

    GO!  you will be a better wife and a better mother for it. 

     I left my son with my parents when he was 8 months old.  Dh and I went on a 5 day vacation.  leaving him was the hardest thing I ever did, but it ended up being a great thing b/c it was nice to just be husband/wife again.  We took another cruise the following summer, and he did fine with my parents again.

    Since I took an extended maternity leave, and I am not getting a paycheck again until December, we are not planning on doing a vacation this year, but if the opp. presented itself, especially where most of it was paid.. hell yeah we'd be there!

    You are NOT selfish at all. My DH and I are planning on going on a vacation in late Oct for our 2nd wedding anniversary. Our LO will be 6 months old.

    Who the eff is saying it is selfish for you all to go on this trip? Tell them to eff off and go and have a good time. Do not feel guilty for taking a quick trip to enjoy yourselves as a married couple.

    I would go today and not feel too guilty. I hope you go and have a fantastic time!

    I definately do not think you are selfish at all! I think it's necessary for parents have time for each other and yourself. Happy Mom and Dad equals happy healthy home for your baby. Have a great time!
