I work outside the home, and my husband works 6 out of every 8 weekends, so I would find once a month kind of excessive, and I don't think I'd want to "waste" all our potential family weekends hanging out by ourselves. But he once took LO to visit his parents for a few nights midweek and having a few days to not parent on top of working all day was heavenly.

A weekend away every few months sounds amazing! Every month I think would be too much to coordinate. But as a SAHM I see way too much of my kid and never get to sleep in.

So basically they have 2 weekends a month together as a family and then the other one solo parents 1 weekend? I mean, the thought of sleeping a lot and getting away sounds nice but not every month. I guess cause I WOH so I cherish weekend time. Plus our weekends are packed so it would be impossible to get anything done around the house if I or my spouse was gone every other weekend.

I would like a night away every few months. Not a whole weekend. But, an overnight so that I could just relax in the evening and then sleep in the morning. But, I would want that with my husband....not alone. And once a month would be a bit much! My DH wouldn't be a fan because he gets so little time with the boys (I work, but just 3 days, I have 4 days at home with the kiddos).
