I have a dilemma. Hubby wants to finally take me on a honeymoon (after 4 years of marriage) at the end of the year. He has been looking at cruises and that sounds awesome!! But he doesn't want to take the kids and tbh I can't blame him lol. If we take the kids that's all I will be doing and I will be too focused on them to relax and enjoy to the fullest. Emma will be 9 months old by then and its a 5 day cruise. My mom said she is willing to watch both girls, but do you think 5 days is too much away from a 9 month old?? Shelby will be 3 by then so I'm not AS concerned. What do yall think? Nothing is booked yet but I'm just kinda iffy about it.
But yes, ease into it. If they've never spent the night away from you have them stay at grandma's for a night here and there. Get the older one psyched to stay at grandma's for a week.
