Staycation.

Lately my husband and I feeling that we need our time. Being parents for both(all) of us are a lot of emotions including joy and challenging. But daddy and mommy still not a parenting machines and we all do deserves a break every once in a while. To be able to rest, talks (child free), feast (without taking a half breath/ standing up) and the intimacy moments with my husband are the needs for keep our relationship going. Parenting is a life yet it’s “a job” as well.

However as I am a helicopter mom (wish there is rehab for this) and I can not go anywhere too far from my love ones specially pandemic make me disconnect with any commercial transportations. So we eventually found place where is private, kid free (yes, it’s really) and not crowded. First night for me was so terrible I couldn’t sleep until the sun was set to rise .. thank goodness it was getting easier on second night (mom have separation anxiety too!). The best things, I get to reconnect with my husband without mom/ dad duty for few days. We get to really talks and plans for what is up coming personal stuff and family matters. I got to take a bath every time I waned (my husband too). We both get to recharge and reconnect with ourselves (this is most important). It is so important to really find time to refine and have a space and moment for relationship that we build with life partner because it’s a foundation of everything including healthy family environment. Also time for ourselves to just rest and reconnect for the next few healthy steps a head.
