Ever done this

Have you ever spent time away in an hotel or Airbnb without your children or partner. Did you feel any guilt. I'm thinking of spending a night away cos I am so burnt out being the primary parent of an autistic 4 year old and infant who breastfeeds and wakesup up to 3 times at night. I'm having second thoughts then again having a good night rest will be good. My mind is foggy most days and my body is tired.

I've done it as a parent of an autistic 4 year old. You can't pour from an empty cup. Go and have the rest you deserve.

I did 3 nights 4 days away in Cornwall (I live in London) on my own. I felt zero guilt and it was amazing to just have some time to myself and recharge.

I'm planning to do this in the next year or so. Nothing fancy just a night in a premier Inn to sleep!!!!

You shouldn't feel guilty, I know it's easy to say but you need to rest if you can go for it and you'll come back better to look after them
