I know I will get a bashing, but here goes. DH and I are leaving for WDW this Saturday, and leaving our daughter behind!(guilty part) Yes she is 19 years old, but has had life threatening illness in the past , and I feel bad leaving her. She has a job and just completed her first semester of college. Hubby and I have never been on a honeymoon or celebrated our anniversaries. It is our 26th coming up. We need to rekindle our lives and I thought this trip would help, but I feel bad leaving DD. Please boost my moral so I can spend a romantic time with DH of 26 years!! Thanks

I understand how you feel...I really do. My son was born preemie and has had over 2 blood transfusions. He weighed 1 pound and 15 oz. when he was born (seven years ago). My partner and I go to WDW at least once a month and we don't always take him with us. At times, parents need to release tensions and reconnect with each other...it makes you better parents and better lovers. My son actually prefers to stay w/ grandma (who spoils him and whos house is like WDW to him). Sure, you'll miss your daughter BUT know that she will be fine. IF anything this gives you a reason to return to WDW w/ daughter, hubby, and yourself for a nice family trip. Enjoy yourself okay??!!! Hakuna Matata Ohana!:wave:

Congrats on your vacation.. or Honeymoon as I should say. I won't feel bad, your husband & you need alone time. Have a great time I know that your daugther will understand why you have to go.

Don't feel bad at all. I guess you could say that I had a life threatening illness, in the earlier years of my life. My parents spent alot of time making sure I was ok every single minute. And I wasn't so lucky, they ended up getting a divorce. But there have been plently of times where my mom would leave me to go somewhere on vacation and my dad re-married and I couldn't very well be in the honeymoon. Plus she is 19 years old and in college. I am 20 right now and guess what, I get left behind all the time. It is part of growing up. Have a great time while you are here!

By all means - do not feel guilty about leaving your 19-year-old at home. You have definitely earned some adult time alone with your DH, and I'm sure your daughter realizes this. Even if there were no illness issues in the past, you two need time alone together to keep your relationship healthy... and WDW is just the place to do this. Make some dinner reservations, go see a show or two, and definitely plan some quiet time for yourselves, and of course take time to enjoy the whole Disney experience. It truly is a magical place!

I think it's ok to leave. I know it's hard, a mothers love and all, but you and your husband deserve some time together and where better than WDW! :animwink: You will have a wonderful time, and you can bring her lots of Disney stuff! Hope you have a great time!

We left our daughter with my mom when she was 9 months old and went to WDW. We had the best time too, and we came back better parents with more patience. Go have fun and relax she most likely would want this for the two of you!!
