Such an interesting point you bring up about cultural expectations. Living in the US, I don’t see that many parents being able to do this as often, or it being culturally as common. In southern Europe where I am originally from, I believe this to be more accepted. We are fortunate that both sets of grandparents have stepped in and allowed us to go on short trips at least once a year, and I agree with you on how important rebuilding that foundation with your partner is. Glad you got to get away and reset! I always find myself over the moon excited to get back home to the boys.
Hi Marta! I love hearing different cultural perspectives, thank you for sharing yours! So glad you and your partner can get that time away to reconnect, and how sweet of your parents to step in and make it possible:) We had a great reset too, and you’re right - coming home to the kids after is the best feeling.
