When both your mother and your trusted babysitter suggest you and your partner take a night away in a hotel, what’s your instinct? You dash out the door.
You race to your mom’s place so quickly that you leave behind essential diapers and wipes for your little one. You’re in such a hurry that you grab long-sleeved pajamas for your daughter, completely forgetting that a) her arm is in a cast and b) it’s sweltering outside. Your makeup bag? Left behind, because you’ve grown accustomed to going without. Instructions for the dog? Who has time for that? You practically leave tire tracks as you speed away.
The evening unfolds beautifully with a delightful dinner, the best sleep you’ve had in ages, and uninterrupted conversations. But soon enough, you find yourself racing back home. Because even in your moment of freedom, you realize that something feels incomplete without them.
And then it hits you—this is exactly why you needed a break.
