Back story. She met her husband in Thailand who's a doctor and unsurprisingly works long hours. She gets annoyed he works long hours, even though it helps people. A few years later she would regularly leave her young children with the grandparents multiple times a year to visit different places.

OMG, so true indeed. Having 2 children on search for a babysitter to go out on adventure. I know how it feels! Very well said and the actions taken to go out on adventure is fantastic :))

me and introvert: I like my home. I don't need to leave my home. But I don't have children either so I am enjoying my life the way I want.
