Wife stress out with motherhood and I need to get her away?

I hope that doesn't sound bad. Okay got 3yrold and 2 month old and mom's going crazy. Need to think of something for her so she can get away from the house for a day or overnight. I'm sure she won't like getting naked in front of other people so spa and massage are out of the question. Also she feels uncomfortable in group settings like yoga, gyms etc. Well anyway I need a long getaway for her. Can you help?

First of all, let me say - as a mother of 4 and being a SAHM for nearly 10 years, I can relate to this.



And even though I am very much in love with my husband, your question has made my heart melt. There needs to be more guys out there looking out for the happiness of their wives. She is lucky that you care as much as you do.



OK, with that said... Does she have a sister, or family she can go and stay with for a day or two? A best friend, maybe?Call them up, and plan a getaway with them, have them do some shopping, and girly things. If she's uncomfortable going to a spa by herself, send her with a friend. Spas are always funner when you have someone there that is just as uncomfortable at being naked as you are. You can laugh about it, together.



My thing would be that I would want my husband there, too. Drop the kids off with a family member, take her the nicest Hotel in town, have a nice dinner, catch up on much needed sleep, sleep in, plan a fun day around the city, and let her go shopping. Have her buy what makes her feel pretty. And feel like a women/wife rather than a mother.



Good Luck, I'm sure that what ever you come up with will be a hit, just because she will know your intentions and that you want the best for her.

Send her on a 4-day cruise to the Caribbean. She will love it..
Send her on a cruise or to an all inclusive resort in Mexico.
Nice hotel with room service, huge shower, and whirlpool. I am a mom and that would be ideal for me.
have her call a friend that she had before kids!



Go shopping for the day and to eat lunch or something.



If she lost all friends have her all sister or mom.



Make her go buy her a gift card for local mall
i got 4 thumbs down, last time i answered a question like this... oh wait, that was your question too.
YOU take time off work and YOU watch the kids for three days straight! Let her go shopping or to a park or out with friends or ANYTHING without worrying about the kids because YOU are taking care of them!
Have her go visit an old friend or family.
When you get home from work on Friday tell her that she is off the clock. Tell her to go to the mall or to a movie. Don't let her do a thing. You take care of the kids as much as you can. Do that every weekend for a few months.
What I would do is find a Family member who is willing to babysit for a weekend and than take your wife somewhere special instead of just sending her away on her own! Like get a nice hotel with the hottub in the room or a bed and breakfast! My husband did that for me after we had our second son and it was so nice to just get away and have some time together! Best of luck to you.
I think renting her a room for a night is ideal, maybe you can sneak away for a couple of hours as well and surprise her with champagne and flowers and a thank you card for being a good mom for your kids,,,you probly need some down time yourself....your a nice husband too bad they are not all thoughtfull like you.
Give her $50.00- $100.00 and tell her to go treat herself to something nice, maybe a dinner, and a nice outfit. Tell her to take as much time as she needs.
TAke her to a nice motel/casino and give her some cash. Take her to dinner, and bubble bath, foreplay, have a go later on.



Be sure there is a good dependable baby-sitter, and talk about everything but kids==



PS-you should do this about once a month. and arrange for her to go somewhere with you alone-even grocery shopping once a week-forever--like Wednesday--.--It will keep your marriage alive through the babies.



At the other end, you want to be friends, and lovers-not strangers.
I would rent her a Hotel room. It can even be close to the house. You go get the room yourself and decorate it up a bit before she arrives or before you take her. Make sure there are plenty of flowers, and a special love note from you. Get her some new books or something she likes to do and reassure her how much you love her and care for her and think she is the best mother in the whole world. Even if it's for a day, can make the world of difference. And even if it's in your own town, it's still getting away and she will appreciate it.



Don't forget some soothing candles and bubble bath. Lots of relaxing things to make her feel pampered and comfortable. Chocolates, snacks, etc. And don't call the woman! LOL
beer
rent a cabin whre you can go and relax and get relaxed with nature. cook for her, massage her feeet. so many things. you soundlike a good man. she is lucky
Simple. If you want to start small...give her a night off.



Set a night with her ~ then when you get home from work she can go out. With a 2 month old at home I doubt she wants to go "away" yet. When mine were little I didn't want to go far, but I did want to GO somewhere.....so I would go to the mall and walk or my favorite was the bookstore for coffee and a good read.



It doesn't have to be elaborate - she just needs a little time to herself to make her feel like a human again! Maybe make a habit of it - give her a night a week to be "anything but someone's mommy!"
How about you take the kids and flee. Take them to grandmas or aunts house for the wkend this way you can tend to her and make her relax. She will appreciate this tremendously!!!! Your such a wonderful man for doing that!!! Good for you buddy!!!!
