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.
