Peach asked:
My partner and I are planning our wedding this year. My problem is our honeymoon. We have three children and I can’t seem to get used to the idea that we will be going somewhere special without them! We don’t want to take them with us as we wouldn’t be able to do alot of the things we really want to do, like scuba diving, parasailing etc. How do I get used to the idea of leaving them for a week and make sure I relax on the honeymoon!?

Leave the kids with someone you feel comfortable with. The first time I left my kids (18 days) I had my 2 moms come and stay at our house. I knew the kids were in good hands (after all they raised us fine)
We had a terrific time, and quite honestly I didn’t even miss them the first week. The 2nd week I did, but we called once to talk to them, and they were having a blast without us. Who spoils the kids the most? the grandparents.
Just go and have fun
I think you should take the kids with you since you can’t be away from them and go to a Disney cruise were you can be alone in a room and they can be in a room. They will be with other adults and be checked on all the time. You can relax and sit back on the cruise and let the kids have fun to and then you could go to Disney and your kids can have a ball. So you should definately consider this it is a great idea. Me and my finace were thinking about doing this for our honeymoon but we dont have any kids but we would take family and there are kids in are family that would enjoy it.
It will be hard, but once you get there you will appreciate having the time alone with your husband. It will probably be the only alone time the two of you have until they are grown and out of the house. Next year, on your one year anniversary, you can plan a family vacation!
We’re going to the Maldives and Dubai – it looks amazing! I’ll recommend it before I even go!
If you can afford this, consider paying for a separate kiddie trip. Have your parents or his parents go along, pay for all the travel and the expenses.
Send the kids and grandparents to Disney or someplace else kid friendly.
The kids will be having a good time and they will be in the care of grandma and grandpa.
If a trip is too expensive, consider having the grandparents just watch them for the week. However, plan (and pay for) less expensive day trips. Look around for museums or plays that have reduced rates for kids and senior citizens. Also, consider having them take the kids to the beach or an amusement park.
I think you’ll be OK knowing your kids are safe, having fun and not sitting around waiting for you to come home.
Maybe you can try to let them stay with whoever will be watching them slowly, like at first 1 day, then 2, then 4, the 6, then 7 days, it would get them more comfortable and you more relaxed that they will be okay. Ive never been in this situation, but I know it would be hard, we are taking our 2 kids with us to florida, instead of a honeymoon we are doing a family vacation, since there birthdays are close. But you have to get them comfy, as well as yourself with the idea, even if they have been there before build it up, but good luck with the plans and have tons of fun.
And you aren’t thrilled to have a great vacation sans children?? You’ll have a blast, and get some wonderful quality time with hubby. It’ll be magical! You can take the kids to wonderful places some other time. All the time in the world!
go this is one in a life time experiance
Just think this will be the first and last honeymoon you will ever have and you can’t replace that time ever again.
