My eldest is 13 and although they’ve both stayed out overnight and been away with grandparents I have only been away without them (actually youngest wasn’t even conceived) once. And that was because he was one, I couldn’t get him to stop breastfeeding and had to escape from him for 2 days! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with going away without your children, if that’s your thing, but to me holidays are family time. Personally I would feel guilty but that’s just me.
Her dad will probably have to shield again now, not that it will stop her using her babysitters 3 tones a week .......
