My kids have spent the last 3 days with their grandparents. I know they are having fun and everything but I miss them like crazy!
They were supposed to stay one night and they were having fun so they asked their grandma if they could stay again. She called me to make sure it was okay and I said yes and again today she asked...Ugh. My days have been SO boring without them here and I am missing them!
I told her this is the last night because I want them back. Lol. The first day wasn't so bad because my husband and I have not had alone time together for about 6 months until now but I am ready for them to come home. My husband told me this morning, man I miss the kids when are they coming home? Lol. Looks like were both feeling it...
Do you have a limit to how much you can handle with your kids being away?

Aww, but I'm sure they'll be really happy to see you when you get them back from their grandparents :)
I don't have kids but I can imagine that it's slightly similar to me missing my boyfriend. He's my best friend and I miss him almost the second we leave each other. When I don't see him for days I'm really bored and a little bummed that I can't see him and be with him. Then, it's really happy the next time we're able to see each other.

They will be happy to see me when they get back! I think I will be more excited than them though. Lol.
Yeah I am sure you can imagine with how much your missing your boyfriend. But it is sweet to see them again! =)

Lol yes, you probably will be more excited than them. I remember when I'd spend the night at a friend's or family member's when I was younger my mom was always much happier to see me lol.
Seeing them again will definitely be a good feeling!

I can understand your feelings quite well. In the past when I brought my son to my parents' home and let him stay for few days. My husband and I thought finally we had freedom and we should have lots of fun. But the truth is our house was quiet and it seemed like losing something. The house will be cheerful and energetic when there is a child. Be sure I missed my child very much and sometimes I would make a call to ensure that he was fine. I doubted whether he missed me as well as I missed him:)
I love China

Yeah it is hard when the house is empty and quiet with the kids gone. The house is much more cheery when the kids are home. =) We felt sad and lost without them. I am so glad they are back with us again. They were gone too long.

They are most cutest and happiest part of our life. My cousin, my sister!!! Ah I just feel so relaxed when I see their smile!! They are so innocence even they can turn the most angry person to smile with 32 all out!! Really it becomes difficult and suffering without seeing them for long.

Yes they are my babies so it is hard when they are gone for some time. But I wanted them to have fun. My oldest is starting school this month so she won't be able to do this except for weekends.
I cannot wait to see them again though!

I can imagine how you miss your child I miss not only child but other family members like my hubby, MIL or dever is also gone anywhere for some days then I miss them. Because I cant live alone. I like family and enjoy with them.

Yes I do. I miss them so much. I don't like being along either, not for any length of time anyway. A few hours is okay but after that I start feeling lonely.

we share access of our son with his dad. we see him weekends and half the summer holidays. The weeks he is with his father we really do miss him, The house seems so qiet and often feels empty.
Whilst this may sound selfish, it is nice to have SOME time to oursevles escpecailly as my partner is disabled and she gets tired out so quickly, but we really miss him and wished we could have him here with us more

Oh that must be so hard! I have no idea how I would handle that. =(
Yeah, for a little while it is nice to have time with your spouse. But after a short amount of time for us we are missing them like crazy! I feel like parts of me are missing.

I am missing my daughter and she is 32, but lives in another state. I remember when hubby had become a trucker and I was THE parent 24/7. My brother and his wife came to visit and we all went shopping. They held on to and supervised the kids. I felt like my arms had been cut off because I was not holding them or their hands. It is a strange feeling. It is nice that both you and hubby are missing them now.

Aw, being in another state must be really hard. =( I'm sorry.
It is strange when they are not around or others are there to take them by the hand. I know, I feel so weird without them! But I am glad they are safe and having a good time.

yes. the first 24 to 48 hours are always the best. after that, empty nest kicks in! it's good that they can spend time with other people but it always feels good to have them back home. summer breaks are the worst as they always want to go to this house or that house.

that is true that you will miss them so much and so fast even for a short days only,because they are your child,sometimes i miss my nieces and nephew too especially when they will go to the province,sometimes i tried to called to them and hear their voice.

Haha just enjoy your time and the peace and quiet that you've had. Read a good book, go out for coffee or for some shopping, enjoy the time with your husband. You know the kids will be back soon enough. And you know why they are having so much fun? Because grandma probably spoils them like crazy

I go back and forth. This is kind of nice, oh but I miss them so much! Lol. I have been reading since it is so quiet here. =)
Oh yes, their grandma definitely spoils them! But that is what grandma's do.
