Will you go travel without bringing your kids along ??

My answer is NO too. Though I sometimes get choked up with my son as I am a full time stay at home mother, I will never leave him behind just so that I can go travel. I wont be able to enjoy my journey as I'll constantly be thinking of him. It's either he goes with me or I not go at all.

Shia.. firstly, it's happy to hear that you be getting your holiday soon in 2 months time, and shall I look forward for your return? As for me, being in my situation, I never travel without my baby girl, provided I am at work. At any point if I am going out, I sure bring her along. We have made a few road travelling to Ipoh, teluk Intan & Penang recently. I have plans to bring this girl to either Bangkok or Singapore next year when she is able to do her own walking, and I am quite excited in this.

I always bring my daughter with me when i go traveling for leisure... i want to instill in her the love for traveling... the first time she travel to a far province was when she was like 14 months old... She already has a passport so out next destination is Kota Kinabalu next year... and she is already very excited about it...

No I wont. I travelled 5 times in a year to visit my mom and my sibling. But wherever I go of course my kids will go. I never been travelled without them. If I can't bring them along I'd rather not to go too, I wont leave them and I can't sleep without them. Before I was confine in a hospital for 3 days I can still remember how much I cried the first night sleeping without my kids in my side. I can't afford to travel without bringing my kids along, never ever.

Hi Shia, It is no fix answer for the question. It really depends where you are traveling and what activity involved when you are travel. For The kids age is a factor too when comes to traveling. When I first give birth to my daughter, I left her and my hub to my mother in law and I travel to Hong Kong with my family . That was the time my daughter was 3 months old. My hub was not traveling with me so I don't think it is easy for me to handle a new born baby in over seas. More ever we were all for shopping trips at Hong kong, so I don;t think travel with her is a good choice. Few month after the hong kong trip, I follow my hub for his company trip to Phuket Thailand. We didn't bring the baby along too because first reason is she is still too small to travel and secondly it is incentive trip with all kinds of outdoor activities and I believe it is so hard to get a baby tag with us. But of course we did get a few family trip and bring along my kids to travel. First we brought her for some local destination and we also want her to fly. We did bring her to a local island by flight. After get to see she is very behave well and we brought her for trip with international flight . I am glad that she loves travel, she got my gene maybe. LOl. We will try to bring her for more trips and travel as she is now good enough to remember what things have happen around her. We wouldn't leave her behind again

Hi Shia, This will be my very first comment i hope you don't mind my (bad) writing (i'm from Belgium). I have three kids of my own and never went without them on holliday till last year. My son was 18 and prefer to have a trip with his girlfriend. This year he explicitly asked when we would go on vacation because he mised it very much last year and had remorce. He really likes those two weeks only with the family and without friends or other people he knows. I really do think you should bring along your son to every trip you make and have a kind of honey moon at home till your son has grown up. It is a comitment to your children to let them have as many as it gets on family bonding. you never will regret it. Have a nice weekend and much of fun with the family. Greatings from Belgium. Roby.

Hi Shia. When they were young and still at home, yes, I never left my three daughters behind. They loved to travel as much as I did, and it was a good experience for all of us! Karen

hi shia, times when i have to travel and leave my daughter. work calls then i have to. since daughter is mature now, i can travel and leave her for a day or two. and also, she can not absent from her work and keep tagging along. but it is really lonely to go travelling and leaving her.. i hope i get a chance to go on a vacation and we can all travel together. thank you for this discussion. ann

Your son must really be one seasoned traveler too. No, I do not travel much and my children hardly follows. They have school to go. Anyway, most of my trips are quick ones and I am always back after a day or two. No really long hauls for me. Hubby and home needs me!

Hi,shia,i used to separate the tours which are going along with children and going along with wife only.If there are some children parks,places where children can enjoy type of lacesmthere must be our children.When we go to temples-holy places...me and my wife only travel.

If I did have kids I would bring them with me everywhere I go. It would be fun just having them with me while exploring the world. I don't think I would take them somewhere else and leave them all by themselves while I go and have fun. I just hope they don't make trouble and we just have fun. ^^

I also usually take my kids along with me for any vacation. I simply don't have the peace of mind when they are not in front of me. Plus, they really enjoy traveling with us. Sometimes though, it gets very tiring. So we leave them with a reliable caretaker and go to an overnight trip or dinner, my wife and I, so that we can enjoy just each others company...

dear well i agree that it is very hard to visit in train or plane with kids because they really make us bother but if we ignor children so it will be bad effect on them try to understand their feeling also as child well i read your scrap your husband is very good he knows how to care children but might be somewhere you are being selfish sorry what i felt i wrote .I am not saying that you have to go everywhere with your kids bcz i know it is not possible ,even i understand that everyone needs privacy but do onething sometime you can go

we used to take my daughter with us though i wanted a trip alone with my hub he didnt allow it even if i leave her n go i don't think so we can enjoy the trip parents are always like this because we love our child very much so goes with all parents

I have a toddler son and a baby daughter. I have taken my toddler son to five different countries and I was pregnant with my daughter when I took him to South Africa. We explored Cape Town and the Garden Route. I think taking children traveling is very educational. I love traveling with my children.

No!I won't like to leave my kids for a family trip.But when it is a business trip,normally we don't go with our family while some people even do that.they merge the business trip and a vacation for the kids.My choice is to have them both separated.A business trip should be gone alone and a family trip should not leave anybody.

If I have family available to watch my ids heck yeah I'd travel without them and enjoy myself only for a little bit before I'd start worrying about what they're doing lol!

it depends on the travel where i am going to, if it involves just one day for business matter then better travel alone without having kids to avoid him getting tired of travelling.

Well for now, I have no kids. But I do love to travel. However, time comes when I'm gonna have my own family, I would definitely love to take them along with my travel. Obviously, that would be fun and a great way to strengthen the bond between me and my family.

Hi Shia88, I did not have a kid so I don't know whether I will go with my kids In my current concept, I will not bring the kids with me for travelling unless the kids are old enough to take care of themselves in case any accidents happened. Sometimes I find that I am not mature to be a mother as I don't know how to take care of myself. I am so scared that I can not take care of my kids, needless to say in the process of travelling.
