Honeymoon for parents

This isn't about me obviously but my and FH's really close friends just got married and they have toddlers. They went on a week long HM to a resort, child free, and I swear they came back as new people lol. Her parents watched the grandkids since they are both retired. She was a little nervous leaving them but also realized she wouldn't get this chance for a HM again for a really long time.

Go for it! Maybe do 4-5 days away so you're not freaking out about being gone for so long.

^^ & wanted to add..be sure to find someone you both trust to watch the little one & slowly build up to having them care for your child overnight before your honeymoon. I know it's hard; but it's the best for all involved to gradually do this...not be there for months 24/7 & then leave for a few days. And NO guilt needed in doing this...I know a lot a parents that would feel guilty; but I agree with ^^...you n FH will get time together, rest & just be able to enjoy being with each other again.

Do it!!! My buddies did it and their parents loved the extra time with their grandkid. He was 3 at the time, so leaving him for a bit was less scary than when he was littler.

I have an 8 year old. We're most definitely taking a week long honeymoon.

It's so important to have time together as a couple. I started with small time away when my son was about 6mos to a year. As he got older he was excited to spend 3 weeks of summer with Nona. He goes on "mancations" with my dad each summer. I treasure each memory he makes with my parents.

I'm flying to BC next month for 8 days. Nervous, but I know he's in excellent hands with my parents.

We have a two year old and are taking a honeymoon. My parents are taking him for the week since my dad already watches him while we work. We are leaving in February because of hurricane season but I am so looking forward to this vacation. At first I didn't want to take one bc of having to have child care for a week but everyone convinced us that it's a once in a lifetime trip and it perfectly okay to go and enjoy being newlyweds.

My kids are gong to be 6 and 13 when we get married. I planned our wedding around their school schedule so they could stay with grandma and grandpa while we were on our honeymoon. If you really feel she'll be too little to leave, then think about a shorter trip or take a family vacation instead. You could even invite grandma (or whoever) to come, get your daughter and that person or people their own room so you're still close but have a babysitter and a room of your own to still get time alone.

My daughter is 12 and will be staying with family while we go to Jamaica for a week. We will eventually take her to Jamaica another time when shes older.

Shes super jelly shes not going btw. I will be making it up with a long weekend or something in FL next year and then a decent summer trip lol.

Our daughter will be 16 months when we go on our honeymoon. She will be staying with my mom and dad, where I know she's comfortable. (She's super close with my parents, and of course they love spending time with her.)

I know we'll be sad to leave her, especially since we've never left her for more than a few hours. But I'm really looking forward to having some time to be a couple, instead of just parents. And it's only 4 days.

We plan on taking a week long honeymoon to Hawaii and both of our moms will take turns watching the kids. We have two high energy boys. The oldest will be 3 when we get married and the youngest will be 1.

We are taking like a day trip somewhere the day after the wedding. Then we're going on our "honeymoon" in November ( so my FH could have 2 weeks vacation saved up for work) which is basically a family vacation because we're taking out daughter (18 months now) and his parents are coming on the cruise with us so they can watch her if we want alone time while on vacation. I'm definitely not ready to leave her over night with anyone yet. Especially since she still nurses at night most nights.

We are going on a mini moon 2 weeks after the wedding and then the following December we are planning on a week long late honeymoon. My oldest daughter will stay home or with my mom if she wants, she will be almost 18 by then. My younger two will be with their father during both trips.

We will be leaving our almost 2 yr old with my aunt.

My son will be with his father and grandmother so I'm good lol

Our son will be 2 when we get married but decided to do a mini-moon. We have no family where we live but my parents will stay longer with him for 3- 4 days. He facetimes them all the time but hasn't seen them since his first bday so makes me a little nervous that he will get upset. We literally have never spent one night apart #nervousmama

Ours will be 4, 14 and 17. Honeymoon is 5 days. Youngest stays at my mom's a couple times a month So, she'll be fine.

We have two 8 year olds, a 9 year old and a 17 year old. Definitely going on a week long honeymoon. We feel very strongly about our time alone together. And we generally take trips without them. It is so worth it. Parenting is hard, it's nice to have that parenting-free time to keep the spark.

Awe I know how you feel, my MIL paid for our honeymoon and our 10 & 9 year olds will be needing adults home (honeymoon is October.... oi ) she also realized that her and my mother were going to have to figure out the logistics with the kids for the week, we also have a 15 month old (I know, I know she's a 1 year old lol) so they have all gotten together and planned out the schedule that works for them so we can honeymoon without any worries (obviously I'm still going to check in like 20 times a day lol) but good luck you deserve a honeymoon like everyone else!!!!
