I like going away on trips and my family live all around England, between 1.5-5 hours drive away. I have a 3.5yo and an 18mo.
Last summer when the kids were 1 and 2 I took them both with me on weekends away to visit family. I did all the driving, none of us slept well and I was knackered looking after the kids all by myself ☹️.
I want to go again this year, but am considering just taking my eldest. He loves trains and going by train would be more relaxing for me and be a lot easier than taking both of them. DH doesn't want to come and he'd have to look after our 18mo.
However, am feeling guilty about just taking our oldest one and feeling like the younger one is missing out, even though it would be a lot easier for me!! AIBU?
