Girl - I would be venting too and glad things worked out - you have alot on your plate and I don't mean your dinner !! You and your husband NEED some alone time and I can sympathise.....I only had 2 boys and was super picky about who watched them - my mom was a big help to me and I can't imagine her turning me down lol ...what about bringing in a sitter to your home ??? do you do that ??

So when is this shindig anyway? I just wanted to use the word "shindig."
 I used it the other day and my son laughed his head off!! Guess I'm telling my age...LOLBe sure you tell us all about it, I've not heard of a Yorkie Christmas party. Give us all the details!!

Well we aren't getting to go. It takes place next weekend in Michigan I think. I actually forgot all about having posted this here LOL
We couldn't arrange for a sitter to watch the older two...and I am kind of funny about trusting someone to stay in my house for two nights...I mean, the area we live in, ya can't really trust the few neighbors that we DO have even if it is out in the country. This past summer with the gas prices going up we have had a lot of gas cyphened (sp?) out of our cars. Not a good thing! Anyhooo....we decided to just spend the time with the kids after all. Yesterday was my birthday and we couldn't even get a sitter for just two hours so we could go out to dinner.  It is no big deal. We are so used to it that I don't know why I even let it bother me anymore.Thanks ladies! I appreciate the opportunity to get my feelings out every so often!

I'm sorry Willow!
I went through years of similar times, so don't think you were being selfish at all! Parents need a break once in a while too! I do have my 2 granddaughters once in a while so my daughter and her hubby can get some time to themselves. The girls are 7 and 1 1/2, so I don't take them for more than a couple of days at a time, but I do try to help out when I can. I enjoy having them, but will admit they do wear me out! LOL I believe that the greatest gift we can give our kids is parents who are loving and happy within their relationship. It demonstrates for the kids how it should be, and gives them a solid basis to grow in. When you think you're being selfish by wanting time to yourselves, just try to remember they are here because of the 2 of you, and will do best when your marriage is also strong and happy. So taking time out for your spouse is healthy for ALL of you.
