AIBU?

AIBU to go to a hotel on my own

I have the opportunity to go to a hotel on my own this Saturday. I would only be haa as of an hour from home. I would go shopping then get take away and a bottle of wine and sleep.
I have a 4 year old and a 4 month old. I haven’t been alone since before lockdown. My partner works away but is home. DD2 is bottle fed do no issues there but I have a niggling guilt.
I am an introvert and feel like no one is getting the best of me just now. Thoughts?

Go and enjoy the break. Your little one is bottle fed so your dp can deal with that. Just enjoy the freedom. Maybe get a bottle of fizz to celebrate the night, even a tiny one before the proper wine!!

Do you want to? Will it make you happy?
If so, go! Don’t feel guilty!

I have a friend who has gone away once a year to a hotel on her own for 3 nights (near to where she lives) since her children were small. She loves it!

OH MY GOD. I don't even have little tiny kids any more (youngest is 6) but I'd jump at that. With a baby at home it would be even more tempting.

That sounds bloody lovely. As long as your DH thinks it’s a good idea as well-do it’

Oh sounds lovely. I have 2 young kids and would do this, given the opportunity.
I am an introvert too and need space to be alone sometimes.

Don't feel guilty. Unless there's a real reason to.

I have no children and I STILL would dearly love to do this. A whole night of not having to make any decisions or do any chores and a huge bed all to myself. Bliss. Do it!!!
