My friend's husband wants her to send their children to her parent's house so they can be alone for the weekend. She has never done this before so she feels a litlle uncomfortable doing this. But she also wants to spend some time with her husband. Since the birth of their children it seems to her that they haven't had the chance to enjoy each other anymore. They were always in a hurry or busy with at least one of the kids. Should she send her children to her parent's house?

I think it is okay to leave your children at your parents house if they are still able to take care of them. If you really feel uneasy about it maybe you could just let them stay a single night there instead of the whole weekend. Remember that it is also important to give some time to your husband to strengthen your relationship.

Leaving them at parents house is not a bad idea. Marriage also has to work.
You could also arrange for some weekend hobby classes for your kids. That would also help.

Yeah. Getting the kids involved in other activities is a good idea. This will give her more time with her husband during weekends. About letting them stay with her parents, I think it's okay as long as she doesn't do it very often. They might have negative feelings about it later.

Spending time with her husband is important. In fact, they should make sure they do it every so often in order to strengthen their relationship. So I think it's a good idea that she leave the kids with her parents. She should not do this often also because they may feel abondoned by them.

A man and wife need some time alone together to have a strong relationship. If the mother is willing, its a good idea to have her babysit the kids for a while. Perhaps they could do an evening out or a couple of hours in the afternoon rather than the whole weekend to start out with though.

Surely There Seems No Problem In Leaving Children To Your Parents. But It Should Not Be A Routine Matter.

It is definitely ok, and much encouraged. When you become a mother, you seem to spend more time connecting with your children than you do connecting with your spouse. A mom needs a break, especially to bring back the feelings of being a woman. If she forgets she is a woman before she was a mother, her feelings will start changing. Besides what other job do you have that is 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year for a minimum of 18 years and you never get a vacation day?
