Every parent needs a break now and then. Raising kids is no walk in the park, and often it takes help (and at least the occasional good night's sleep) to be the best mom or dad that you can possibly be. On the other hand, it is important to be strategic about when you decide it's time to call on the babysitter. It isn't always going to be appropriate to leave your children behind.
This is something that one anonymous couple faced outrage for after the brother of the dad complained on the internet about an irresponsibly booked vacation. The parents were planning on taking a two-week trip to Italy just months after the birth of their first child and were trying to get their family to babysit. It's fair to say that nobody was impressed by this. On the bright side, at least they had no plans to force their child to travel with them even if it was a terrible idea.
