'Celeb mums have recently spoken out about being shamed for going on holiday without their kids, and sadly I experienced this, too'. ✍️ Charlie Bond
without dragging a backpack of snacks with me to avoid toddler meltdowns, I also used to travel – with my husband, my friends, my mum and occasionally solo.
But then, once I became a mum I started to feel anxious about going away without my son – not because I didn’t want to travel, but because I felt guilty for wanting or needing a break. And, I worried about all of the things that could go wrong while I wasn’t at home to help. When I told people about my travel plans, comments ranged from ‘isn’t he a bit young for you to go off and leave him?’ to ‘wouldn’t you rather go on a family holiday?’ I was left feeling as though me enjoying myself was selfish, and that I was a bad mum for entertaining the idea of having a break.
