1 night away for just me!

[Anynameyoulike]

My partner has asked what I want for Christmas & up to now I’ve been too tired to think but this evening I had an idea. Background - I have a 5 month old and a 22 month old and I have done all night feeding for each of them. My partner runs his own business (which I whole heartedly support), it’s still a young business so he works some loonnnnggg hours. I do vast majority of childcare, cooking, house stuff etc and we have very little support from anyone. Right now (like a lot of mum’s) I would LOVE just 1 night where I could have a bath, relax, have a full nights sleep and an uninterrupted breakfast. This would never happen at home and just sounds utter bliss. Am I being unreasonable to ask for my partner to get me a solo, one night hotel stay for a Christmas?? Nothing fancy, just a budget traveled he room for example.

Sounds good.to me!.

Do it, do it, do it..

Sounds ideal. A brilliant suggestion. Go for it op! What a difference one good nights sleep and “you” time will make.

No way he could go with you?

Brilliant idea! I did similar when mine were small except that my DH took the kids to his parents for a day and a night so I luxuriated in the silence in my own house! It was brilliant.

Mine are teenagers and I do this. Premier inn a couple of times a year when I really need some quiet time. It’s heaven.

Go for it!!!!

Oh do it. It sounds like heaven. And i definitely wouldn't invite him, don't share that bed! You need a big fat sleep.

Why budget one? Ask for something fancier otherwise it sounds a bit: I’m desperate not to see all of you for at least 24 hours. It should be something enjoyable: nice place, spa treatment, etc

I've done this a couple of times. Do it.
Go alone, it's good for the soul.

I do this too. Mine are all school age but it’s nice to get the break as they are home educated and one has ASN. I go to premier inns when they are £35. I enjoy the peace, have a take away for dinner, have a bath, get my cooked breakfast in the morning, etc.
