I've been away from my oldest for a day and 1/2, my middle son about 5 hours and my youngest a couple of hours.
1 week. took a vacation by myself to San Fran and stayed with my Aunt. It was awesome! But they are 10 and 12 now. When they were little it was never very long.
I've been away from my daughter a few hours tops. I haven't been without her overnight ever and she's 3. I just don't like being away from her too long.
I've only been away from my kids for a day tops.
Six hours tops I think, for date night with hubby.
about 4 hours or so.
lol
we're AP so we stay together a lot :)
Just over a day
My exhusband gets Summers with them. He only took my son last year but this year he took both...2 of the longest, lonliest months of my life. It was awful and I dread next year.
My oldest (2.5 years) - four days (as a sponsor on a youth trip)
My youngest (8 mos.) - this weekend was his first time alone @ Grandm'as house (2 days)
I have been away from my kids overnight, they are old enough to have sleepovers with their friends now.
overnight at my parents and overnight when I had my 3rd baby!
Every weekend since my daughter has been born. She has first time grandparents. lol.
My kids are 10 and 7 and I have never been away from either of them for more than the occasional weekend with grandma. Even while they are with my mom, I call several times a day just to make sure that they are okay.
Last November I left them with my husband for 3 days/nights for a scrapbooking retreat. I'm doing it again this November (2 nights this time, though).
Both my husband and I being away from them, though - a little over a year and a half ago we left our son with my parents and went out of state for 3 nights. Technically though, we weren't completely away from our kids because I was 8 months pregnant with our little one.
i am 20 and have twin girls who are nine months. i have been away from them for a total of two days. i went on a mini vacation with their dad, my boyfriend to a state park to kayak and go hiking. we took them the time before but we didnt want them on the boats. thought it was too dangerous.
granted i work now so i am away for a few hours a day. but i come back to happy kids who are excited to see me and i come back a much better mom. every mom needs to take time to herself. and work is mine. it is not a chosen thing but i work so we have money to save to put in their college funds. lol i am starting early
My oldest goes away for the weekend with her "side line"dad (he is only there when its convenient) one time a month. She has only been doing this since July and its long for me and for my youngest 10 months I have yet to be away from the baby. I just don't have someone I trust enough to leave her even for a quick movie.
left my 20 month old for a few hours to attend a wedding.
Probably 4 or 5 hours tops and that was a forced seperation becuase I had to have surger. She was 2mos old. Since then (now 10mos) probably not longer than 3 hours, and she was home with DH.
We're AP and would rather do things as a family, it's harder on all of us to be seperated, than the tiny inconvience of bringing our DD along.
5 days was the longest when my son was 18/19 months.
That's when I weaned. (but it wasn't the only reason for the trip!)
