The opportunity has arisen for DH and I to go away for 4/5 nights with our best friends to visit Dubai. My DD is 10 and DS is 5. We have only been away together from the children for one night and that was in feb for my 40th and they slept over at SIL's. My M&d have offered to have the children - we did not ask them - they offered - but on their terms (ie during the week in term time which is fine).
So are we being unreasonable in having trouble in deciding whether to go? We are very hesitant in leaving the kids (know deep down they will be fine and are happy with my parents looking after them) but just uncomfortable in being away from them. On the other hand I think it's for less than a week, the children will enjoy time with my parents because it will be the second time ever that they have stayed there and life's too short - just want to cherish some good times with our best friends. Am I selfish?
