Do you think it’s wrong/selfish for parents to travel without their kids?

[JustinTheGreat]

Even if it’s just a weekend trip

[petitedollbabee]

Nope, everyone with kids needs a break at some point. There’s nothing wrong with a weekend trip away from the kids, aslong as someone is watching said kids.

[Apple1996]

I personally think so. I'd rather take my kids on vacation and experience those memories with them. One day they will be adults and you'll never get that time back so best to spend all the time you can with them while they're still little.

[SnowedIn]

Neither wrong nor selfish. In fact, highly necessary, not only for the parents but for healthy development of the kids.

[Drumlin2001]

Not at all. Can be good for the parents to get a beeak and good for kids to spend time with family or friends

[Anonymous]

No sometimes parents need a break, they are people too. Also it can be fun for kids because they get to stay at another relatives house for a change.

[Opinion Owner]

If they are babies under 6 months though I do think it’s wrong to be away for a whole day.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Nope, when I get married, couples need to have their personal lives even when they have children. Children are much happier when their parents are happy and set an example of a healthy, loving relationship for them.

[DizzyDesii]

A weekend is okay. A short honeymoon is okay. But leaving for like a full week is a bit much for someone with kids

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Not really, they need a break from being parents too though I can see how their child would take being excluded personally

[OfMiceandMen]

Not at all. Parents need to work on their relationship, it can't always be about the kids.

[sheikalana]

I don't see it as wrong especially if it's just a weekend. Parents also need their time together and apart from the kids once in a while.

[safricanluke]

No, sometimes parents need a small break, especially to keep their relationship strong. Also, most young kids don't like traveling

[gothbxtch]

no, unless it’s like every weekend or the kids are abandoned and not taken care of

[Surely]

My father did this most of the time. That is why I don’t know a lot of my family tree!

[Anonymous]

It's a choice of company to be or without it and rest is up to parents decision.

[Nominal]

No, personally it's not selfish to travel without kids.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Nope. Adults need alone time.

[Fabiana1]

孩子们应该多出去看看世界，看看世界。

[AutisticLonelyWoman]

No parents need to get away.

[Sasha0426]

No. Parents need a break, too.

[Anonymous]

No. My parents used to do it a lot.

[In_Trance]

how old are the children?

[dolemite58]

not when the kids are older

[CrimsonAngel09]

Not at all.
