1 adult with 2 kids - good idea or bad?

[NashvilleMama]

Hi all! Tried to search as I'm sure this has been discussed before but no luck.

I have the chance to take both my daughters on a surprise weekend trip in November but it would just be me with them - they're 8 and 6. Is that a recipe for disaster in terms of ride sharing, etc? I've never done this on my own and really, really love going on all the rides...plus my 6 year old can NOT go on most by herself as she's not very brave yet.

thoughts and experiences? I'd love to take them on this mommy-daughter trip but am worried about it being a party of 3 and the logistics of that for rides mainly. thanks!!

well, nevermind! I just found the Single Parents forum and it has so much info on this scenario - so ignore me! We're doing this!

I'm in the same boat in November and I am doing it! And mine are 7 and 4 (almost 5). Do it!

I've been taking my kids without my DH since they were 4 and 6. It is super easy and fun!

I did bring a very good single stroller. Other than that, just go and have fun!

I brought my kids alone on loads of trips and loved it! I say do it!!
