Question

I'm 26, in school full time (summer break right now), I work full time and have a 7 year old. I'm basically going through a break up with my fiancé of 4 years (toxic relationship which I'm slowly but surely getting the courage to end). My best friend lives in Vegas and I want to go visit her for 3 days. Not to party or anything like that but simply to have my best friend by my side while I'm going through this rough time. Would I be wrong to leave my daughter with her aunt for those 3 days? She already told me she would be perfectly okay with spending the weekend with her aunt but I know my mom and soon to be ex will make me feel guilty for going. What should I do? Thank you.

Also: I'm giving her aunt (my sister) money for everything so I wouldn't be putting her out I don't think. I never do anything for myself and I'm so sick of being controlled. I'm taking my daughter on a mini vacation this weekend to get away then visiting my best friend would be the weekend after.

Answer

Go. You need your time too. I know it's hard but if your aunt is really ok to take her for 3 days then go. You've been in "misery" for far too long so you have to get a break. As long as your aunt and child is ok with it then go ahead! Don't care what others say because people will always have something nasty to say. You deserve a break!

Answer

Sounds like you've some time away with your best friend. Some "me" time doesn't mean you're selfish; taking care of yourself is what makes you a better parent and person. Have fun

Answer

Not at all. You need time to clear your head and think. It drives me crazy that people don't think moms need to have alone time every once in a while! You should absolutely go have some fun with you BFF, you deserve it!
