Ski Diva Extraordinaire
My mom hates the outdoors and hates the cold and lives across the country from me, my dad is dead and my stepmom is disabled. My husband and I are essentially raising our kids on our own with no family support aside from when we pay money to go visit our families, and when we do so we feel that we can't leave the kids with the grandparents because we don't want to seem like we are using them for daycare or that we don't value spending time with them as well.
My husband and I haven't skied a full day by ourselves together in over 5 years since before we had kids, and most days we ski by ourselves which limits the terrain we can ski and just isn't that much fun because we are each others best ski buds. So we paid a ridiculous amount of money for daycare for our two kids so we coiuld enjoy a ski day together during our trip to Taos and I think thats fine. I mean, it was our first full ski day together since before we had kids. Some people ski one trip a year and put their kids in ski school for the entire time, I can't wrap my head around spending that kind of money but I'm sure many people feel that way about the money we spend on passes etc so I try not to judge other people and the choices they make because I don't know the situation they're in.
