we will be taking our DD overseas with us, there is no way we would ever leave her with anyone. so the answer to your question would be....18 years of age maybe, LOL!!
i think u need to feel very comfortable with who ever u are leaving ur children with.
We left DD & DS when they were 3 & 1 1/2 for a week just this last august gone with my in laws. They had a ball & DF & i had some well deserved time out.
We are actually leaving them again this saturday for another week with the in laws. Both dd & ds are super excited. They both have their own bedrooms & toys when they go for stays with them.
Next feb we are thinking about going os for 10 days - 2 weeks. This i think i would be alot harder.
My kids have had alot of overnight stays since they were quite small, with my mum & in laws. So i guess we feel comfortable leaving them for longer periods of time.
Thats just us tho. Like i said at the begining, u really have to feel comfortable doing it & with who they are with otherwise u just wont be able to enjoy urself.
THis year we took Ds at 18 months to Europe and he had a ball. Just a couple of weeks ago we went to NZ for a weeak and left DS with my mum. Ahe didn't miss us one bit! In fact if I say do you eant to go to nanna's he gets so excited
Nelly- You made me feel better...thank you! I was in the minority too!
Like i said though, IF i go to Bali (im not even sure i could be away from DS for a week yet) DS will be with my mum, who we live with now. If we didn't live with her, there's no way i could leave him with anybody for a week.
