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.
I personally would not leave my 9 month old for that long, so I understand your hesitation. A lot of cruise ships offer childcare services
I would do it. When my stepsister was a few months old her parents took her older brother to Disney for a week and she stayed with her grandparents.
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.
