I agree with PBear -- perhaps this will prompt more time off when your ILs see what you two go through on a daily basis.<BR/><BR/>I hired a non-close friend, non-relative, teenager (for God sake) as a babysitter the other night. Did all go smoothly? No, but my kids had fun, and I got out to spend time with other moms. It was scary -- the first time and all. But, now, I'm less scared. I was scared the first time I left my husband alone with our first child when I went on a business trip. I was scared the first time when I left both children home with my husband when I went on another business trip. But, each time got easier, knowing they would be okay. I hope that happens for you too.<BR/><BR/>You NEED the time away. I wish you blissful sleep and FUN!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545465610500649673.post-34346060994084078282008-12-11T09:40:00.000-08:002008-12-11T09:40:00.000-08:00Find your inner wild woman and get thee the heck o...Find your inner wild woman and get thee the heck out of Dodge!

If they get along with the kids, and the kids love them, that's 99% of the battle. Yes, there will be problems, no, they won't do as perfect a job as you do - but everyone will be fine. It will be excellent bonding time for them (and may even get you some more time off in the future, as they come to really appreciate what you go through every day). There are two of them that will be there all the time, not like with you two trying to juggle work and the kids. They'll manage. And if no one leaves the house for 3 days, so what? They'd survive that too.<BR/><BR/>GO. You need it. You deserve it.<BR/><BR/>KarinPBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02681563084345230038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545465610500649673.post-5347336717941974862008-12-10T06:58:00.000-08:002008-12-10T06:58:00.000-08:00Go ahead and worry, but please GO.

Leave no forbidden foods in your house. Stock it full of GFCF "treats," because grandparents really like to give treats. <BR/><BR/>Then let go of all of your other expectations, because they WILL survive a few days without you, and, no, things WON'T get done the way you do them, but do they really have to?<BR/><BR/>Please, go!pixiemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15343744406666443879noreply@blogger.com
