Christmas
Show your support
I would try to bring it up as a conversation before asking for it as a Christmas gift! That way it is kind of fresh in his mind and something that won't take him by any kind of surprise if/when you do ask for it as your Christmas gift ❤️ IT IS NOT SELFISH to want some actual quality intimate time just you and your partner. You both deserve that time with each other to reconnect as a couple I think that is a wonderful Christmas present and I know my husband would love this idea
Not selfish at all, as parents it’s valid to want that one on one time just like it was before kids. If you have the family to support you and keep the kids while you two have a getaway then do that, keep the spark alive in your marriage.
My husband and I met in 2014. Got together and engaged in 2016. Had our first in 2019. Got married in 2022. Currently pregnant with baby #2 due December 2024. I honestly don’t think it’s selfish but at the same time, I don’t think I can spend Christmas away from my kids as I see Christmas being with your family, loved ones, ect,. My husband and I don’t remember the last time we had a date night as we always feel guilty for asking family members because in our eyes, we see that our kids is our responsibility, not theirs. My family offers and don’t mind at all but we still feel guilty 😭 but I do understand how you’re feeling about in the roommate phase. My husband and I have noticed that we lost ourselves in the parenthood and we gotta find that spark again and date each other like we used to before becoming parents. If you’re okay spending Christmas from the kids, I don’t see why not then. Go have that mini getaway with your man and enjoy it! 🫶🏼🫶🏼
@s a r a 🥀 oh yeah I wouldn't want to do it on Christmas just have a plan of going
@Charlene maybe beginning or middle of December? Or even in January after all the holidays. Might be less crowded wherever you trying to go.
I don’t even need to read the rest to tell you it’s never selfish to want something for yourself. Regardless of how it might make other’s feel. If that’s what you want. Then ask for it. If it’s a no? Then that’s that, but at least you let it be known
@s a r a 🥀 I gathered from her post that she doesn't mean a being away over Xmas, just a weekend away at some point
Definitely ask for this! Sounds like you’ve earned it!!
I think a weekend away for you two would be a fabulous Christmas present!
