[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2036, member: 1"] [URL='https://mom.com/momlife/im-a-mom-who-often-travels-without-my-kids-heres-why'][B]I'm a Mom Who Often Travels Without My Kids — Here's Why - Mom[/B][/URL] “I’ll only be in Chicago for five days,” I replied to my 7-year-old son, as he anxiously watched me pack my suitcase. “And grandma will be here with you the whole time. And, yes, we can totally FaceTime before bed — every night — I promise.” The reassurance that he would be with someone he loved and the gift of technology seemed to quell my son’s worry about my pending departure. By now, I thought he would be used to it. I travel often without my kids, every few months at least, but each time he sees my black carry-on appear, he peppers me with questions. Seeing that I am his primary caregiver, I completely understand. I’m upsetting his routine and he’s the type of kind who lives for routine. But his hesitancy over my travel doesn’t compel me to stay. In fact, it pushes me to go. We both need this. [/QUOTE]
