I don't have any children, but I thought I'd share my own childhood experience. My mom was a single working mom and we lived in not the greatest of neighborhoods when I was younger, ie. not really a place where I could have been enjoying my summers playing outside. Rather than put me in daycare for the summer, she sent me to live with my grandparents in small-town Connecticut. I spent 10 hours a day on the swim team, swimming lessons, diving lessons, tennis lessons, and just playing and being a kid. Some of my best childhood memories come from all of those summers in CT. I would see my mom probably about every other weekend when she came down to visit. And yes, I would miss her when she would go, as she of course missed me, but it was the absolute best thing she could have done for me. If she hadn't, I would have spent the summers either cooped up inside alone or at a busy daycare center. Just another perspective, I don't think that leaving your children for periods of time is always selfish.

Wow....I just had a flashback!!! I remember going to my grandparents for the summer on their little farm. We would garden, cook, swim in the creeks and overall have a great time. Awwww....I think I'm about to have a sentimental moment.
