To go to away for a long weekend with the girls whilst DH has the children?

I have the chance to go away with the girls for a long weekend to New York, DH has said to go for it and he’ll look after the kids ( 2 DS aged 11 and 16), we’d be using a travel voucher we got during Covid and I have some spending money already saved, we also have a family holiday booked together for a few months later.
It sounds like a no brainier but I feel incredibly guilty about it and as though I shouldn’t be doing it, I’m the primary carer for the boys and a very involved ( possibly too much so) parent and much as I’d love to go it feels wrong, in my position what would you do? AIBU if I go?

I’ve done it loads of times since my kids were much younger. It wouldn’t even occur to me to feel guilty about it.

I assume the ‘girls’ are women - or are you taking someone else’s kids?

I fully assumed you were going to say your kids were babies. This makes me a bit sad TBH! Also going to NY for a long weekend is def not enough time
