To book a hotel for the night for a break?

[adultfriendswouldbenice]

Feel horrible moaning but I'm fed up.
Going away on holiday soon so I should be happy but feels like a lifetime away plus we are bringing the kids with us.

I'm exhausted I'm stuck in the house with the kids everyday OH has gone back to work all I hear all day is mum mum mummy I could really scream.

My house is a shithole I'm tired of cleaning it!

The list goes on the thought of having a full nights sleep and having a lovely hot breakfast in the morning without feeding everyone else first whilst I eat a cold breakfast sounds AMAZING!

OH is going to be against the idea but I need to recharge! AIBU?

Go for it! It will make you both appreciate what you do everyday.

Absolutely do it! I do it every year and look forward to it from the end of the last trip to the beginning of the next.

Could you get someone to look after the kids and go with your OH or are you looking for a break from him too

I did exactly this last week and it was amazing definitely go for it!

My husband once booked me a night in a travelodge down the road it was awesome

Personally I’d rather spend the money on getting someone in to deep clean the house so I didn’t come back to the same mess! But if you think it would help then why not

@Thehop your husband is amazing

Do it, I go away quite often!
It's worth looking at national holidays short breaks for a night or 2, it can often be cheaper than booking just through the hotel!

Do it, I got a deal in a really nice hotel for two nights in a near by city and it was brilliant.

I do it quite often. Single parent with one DC. She stays with grandma and I recharge my batteries. Bliss! Do it. You will feel amazing. I always get breakfast served in bed too. Worth the extra

I dream of this. One day I'll do it!

I'm not sure one night alone in a hotel would fix you.

Is there any way you could work instead of stay at home? It doesn't seem to suit you.

It's a great idea.

If money's an issue, you don't have to spend a lot. Find a £29 premier inn, with the meal deals package, or see if there's a local hotel offering a value overnighter.

We once bought a Groupon for a hotel about 5 miles away from home.

I got sent away for a night in a lovely pub with rooms for mothers day and it was INCREDIBLE. Felt a bit weird checking in on my own but there was room service and wine so I soon got over that. I highly recommend this idea.

Do it!

Go for it!!

I do it every 6 weeks or so and I go to an idyllic country farmhouse set in beautiful countryside and it totally recharges me!!!!

I’ve already told DH this is what I want for
My birthday this year. He has agreed 👌

Is this a good place to confess that I went to a Spa Hotel for 2 nights by myself to de-compress when the children were 2 and 5 years old .

So one night in a hotel, a good nights sleep and nice breakfast seem like very simple ask to me .

Seriously, I think so many women run themselves ragged whether SAHM's or WM's (whilst partners seems totally happy to book hobby/mates time away) and feel unseasonably guilty for having some time to themselves.

My overwhelming memory was thinking how nice it was to go to the toilet in peace and privacy (without a toddler insisting being with you or just outside the door) and have a long luxurious bath, rather than a swift functional shower.....and totally uninterrupted sleep...bliss.

@Dollywilde Personally I’d rather spend the money on getting someone in to deep clean the house so I didn’t come back to the same mess! Really??

The cost of a cleaner for a deep clean of my house would bankrupt me

Do it!! I know it’s extreme but I once went to Australia on my own and left DH with the two DC 2 & 4 at the time. It was the best decision I ever made. I came a new woman...literally!!

Just booked it for tomorrow night 2 course dinner and breakfast not regretting it one bit!

Op I dream of this often! But then feel guilty when I think of booking it!
Get it booked! You deserve it!

It sounds bliss!
Make the most of every second!
You'll return home a new woman!

@Nicecupofcoco I really hope so haven't been the best mum these past couple of days my patience is wearing thin.
