Now that my kids are older (4 years, and 17 months) my husband takes the kids out on "adventures" to the store or the park or the mall, and that time gives me a much needed break. My first child could not handle much time away from me - she was "high needs" - but my second is much more capable of going long periods without nursing. Time alone is so necessary to recharge, and to be happy to see the kids (and husband!) again.
