anyone else consider going away alone?

bluejetta · March 2013

As an introvert I really try to get space to unwind and obviously that is more complicated than it used to be. In May I'm taking a weekend to DC with some girlfriends but expect it to be busy and not necessarily restful. I'd love to just go spend the night at a hotel somewhere -- take a book to dinner or get room service and enjoy a enormous bed with no 5:30am wakeup.

Has anyone else considered (or done) this. DH had suggested back during the rough months and I never did it then because I felt bad while N was still waking at night. She's past night waking and I'm past feeling bad -- mama needs a moment and more than a 60 min spin class or pedicure.

I have done it for work trips, but nothing within the last 6 months or so. I agree having that time is invaluable and I think you should do it!

I have considered it and almost got to a couple weeks ago but I ended up getting a real bad head cold. Hoping I may get another chance before the fall.

I want time with DH too and would love to send N to my mom's for a night. That to me is harder because I'd worry more about if she kept my mom up etc and they don't have a great place for her to sleep (a PNP which is great for naps there but I'm not su

I've considered it several times. I was this close to booking a room in February but stuff was going on around us two weeks in a row and hotel prices were through the roof.

I'm also an introvert and need a lot of alone time or I feel drained.

I think it's a great idea and you should totally do it.

I haven't done it but I fantasize about it all the time.

One weekend at the end of my pregnancy with my third, my husband took the two big kids to the lake. Oh, it was fantastic. I still dream about it. How I slept until noon one of the days. And I kept thinking I heard the kids, like multiple times a day an

Heck yes. My husband actually suggested I get away for a night or two before Halle was born but it didn't happen. It will happen sometime before the fall! I am also an introvert and even just 24 hours completely alone sounds absolutely a

I say go for it! I haven't gone away on my own but we have sent A to my parents' house for a few overnights which is so nice. It would be great to send DH for the night too and be completely alone!

We have a lot of introverts on this board!

I classify myself the same way, and I value time to myself a lot. I haven't gone away alone in years, but I would certainly love to. You should totally do it.

I haven't ever just gone away alone, but like a few other said, I have the luxury of having my parents 15 mins away. L spends the night there occasionally, and twice I have done it on nights DH was working so I had the whole night to myself. I
