On the weekend I happened to see my step-sister. She lives in another city and when I saw her, was sans children but she has 2 little ones. She was patting herself on the back about how EVERY month, her and her partner give each other a weekend away, without the kids. They each go stay at their parents houses for that weekend to decompress and catch up on sleep. They also each get one night a week to go out and do their own thing.

I get the weeknight thing and could get on board with that but I can't say I really like the weekend away thing. Mostly because I would miss the family time and wouldn't want to be away from DH or DD for that long on a regular basis.

What do you think about this?
