A bit of back story on the trip itself...We've had a bit of a rough start to our year health wise so I booked a surprise trip in August for just the DH and myself as a thank you to him for taking care of of me and the family when times were tough. It will be just the two of us without our girls (4 & 5). Well the mother's guilt is starting to sink in. I've mentioned the trip to some friends and when I tell them it's just the two of us I get similar reactions of "what are you going to tell the girls?" "you're not taking the girls?" "how are you going to pull that one off with the girls?" I just tell them that I'm not telling them and that we're just going to go.
Since this was such a last minute decision to go (I got a great rate on the room) I didn't think I would have such a hard time planning without the girls. They absolutely LOVE Disney, that happens with two Disney freaks for parents, and my oldest has been asking recently when we get to go back. We do have plans to take them next summer for my youngest's 5th birthday so there are plans in the works for them to go within the next year or so however just not as soon as this August.
Are there any other parents out there that have experienced this? The guilt is killing me!!!
