LOL I know he is nervous leaving our 4 year old for so long. Me? Not.at.all. This is a trip of a lifetime and much needed after a very hard year. We need to relax and reconnect, Negril is just what the doctor ordered. It's like going home, my body is in Texas my heart resides in Negril.
Sweetie, leaving one's child is always hard, but the second the door is closed, they are fine! I get where you're coming from, but I assure you - the little munchmopper will be just fine. It has taken me 24 years of motherhood to realize that my kids CAN survive without me! Yeah, he (or she) may not get the FDA recommended amount of veggies, and possibly a lot more than the FDA recommended amount of candy (if grandparents are involved), but it all balances out. Children are incredibly resilient and know how to adapt. Really! Fear not! As a parent just moving out of the teen years ..... this is a good thing to do! There will be times to come when you will need to, but simply cannot do that to the world!

Enjoy the time. Now!
