I didn't leave C overnight until around a year. In retrospect, I waited too long. It's important to take time for yourself and recharge. I give no side eye to parents who leave their infant overnight. I do give some side eye to people who are unwilling to be away from their kids ever. A break is good for both parties.
I would do it in a heartbeat if I had grandparents or someone who would watch them. We have been trying to figure out how we are going to get away b/c I agree 100% - it is important to take some time for yourself, and for your "couple self" which we have not been able to do b/c we have yet to spend a single night alone in 3 + years.
We had talked to some friends who have a Dec 13 boy about doing a kid exchange - we watch theirs for a weekend and they watch ours for another weekend - I think someone here mentioned that as well. But they also just had another baby and I think 4 kids under 4 is a lot to ask of someone.
So yeah, as I type this, the jealousy is strong.
