I am just checking to make sure I am not being unreasonable (more of an "if you were in my shoes" sort of question).
DD (9) is at residential camp for 10 days - dropped her off Sunday, pick her up next Wednesday.
DS (17 this weekend) and DNiece (19) are the only others here aside from DH and I. Our 10th wedding anniversary is at the end of the month, but because DD is away, he and I thought we might take the opportunity and go away overnight, leaving DS and DN home to fend for themselves.
MiL just about lost the plot when we told her. "You can't leave them unattended! What if something happens! You'll be going so far away!"
We are leaving Saturday morning, returning Sunday. We are not leaving the country, or even the province. DNiece is going into her second year of University, and lived on her own in student residence for her first year, DS is quiet, responsible, and very "by the books". It's not as if they will be lining the party guests up the moment we leave.
As well, DD is disabled and requires extensive care. She is at a specialised camp, and this is the first chance DH and I have ever had to go away on our own. We didn't take a honeymoon when we married. In all honesty, our relationship could really use this.
So, is she nuts? Would you take this opportunity for a short get away?
