i'm having serious problems with my unemployed husband and I'm sick and tired ot the situation. The one good thing I have to say for him is that he is an excelent father and takes good care of the kids. I wanna go on vacations and visit my family in my country, but if i go alone with the kids i can't do anything because i would have to take care of them and i would not really be able to rest or relax . I need a break would it be mess up to go alone only for 5 days ... the kids love their dad and my mom would check on them so no worrys
would it be too selfish?
 
Not selfish at all. Everyone needs to be alone sometimes, especially if you are the one that takes care of everything. Just tell your husband that you are going and have all the arrangements made out about childcare and then go enjoy your vacation.
 
i don't think it would be selfish. you said yourself that your husband is a great father and your mum is there too. plus, it's only for 5 days to visit relatives in your home country. it's not like you're going on a sun holiday with your mates for 3 weeks.
 
no mam it would"t be selfish you can just ask if you can bring the kids with the two of you!
 
It depends on how your husband feels about sitting at home all day with the kids while you're not there. Oh wait! He already does that!

How old are the kids? Do you ever get a chance to spend any time with them? How many kids do you have? Part of being a parent is taking responsibility for them. You had them, you have to take care of them. Besides, they might be ready for a break from dad too.

I'm not saying this to make you upset or to accuse you of not being a good mom, you are a good mom because you are taking the responsibility of providing for the family. I'm saying it because I've been through it.

I missed being able to take my kids places and do things with them because I was working all the time and either was too tired. I raised my kids on my own though, their dad was always too busy to take them for a day, let alone 5 days. I missed so much of their lives and now that they're grown, I realize that I chose the wrong way! Their dad also realizes that!

The kids need you around you too. You do need to relax, I know this from experience too, but you also need to do something with them.

It's a hard decision to make, but it's your decision. No one else can tell you what to do because they don't know the whole situation.

5 days sounds reasonable to me.
