I am FRUSTRATED!!!!.......

[Willow]

and a little, no alot, angry!!!!!

My husband and I were invited to a Yorkie Christmas party and we thought we would make a weekend of it since it is in another state. Well, we had someone offer us a place to stay for the weekend so we won't have hotel costs.

Let me just say, my husband and I never get to go ANYWHERE as just him and me. We have four kids and it is hard to find a sitter for four kids. My own mom won't watch them. She says she is burned out on babysitting because she watches my stupid cousins kids ALL THE FREAKING TIME and she won't even take ONE of mine when they themselves ask Gramma if they can come stay over just to stay because she is gramma.

Until this year I watched their 11 year old and 7 year old for their anniversary so my mom and step dad could go out. But they have NEVER watched our kids for us on our Anniversary so we have NEVER gone out for our anniversary.

So I asked her about the Christmas party because it is two months away and I need to RSVP and I am one of these that likes to have my plans in place so they aren't last minute. She told me we will see when December gets here. The party is in the beginning of December so I can't wait until December to RSVP.

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE JUST STARTING FAMILIES!!!! Stop having kids after 2!! Especially if you have hopes of EVER going out with your SO!! No one wants to watch more than two kids anymore.

So I guess now we are going to try to find family/friends who will watch one or two of the kids for that weekend.

I love my kids. But sometimes moms and dads need a break. It seems like my mom gets breaks from her two and it seems like all my friends get breaks from theirs, but we aren't supposed to.

I guess we are being selfish to want a weekend to ourselves. Is it not fair to ask someone else to watch our kids so we can have a weekend of fun?
