Am I weird for not wanting to take vacations away from my family?

Throwaway because my friends are redditors. I've been married to my husband for 10 years and we have a 4 year old daughter. I work like crazy during the week leaving the evenings and weekends open for family time and the occasional social get together. Over the past few years some of my childless (by choice) female friends have often tried to get me to come along for weekend getaways with the girls, which I'm so happy that they want to include me but I've always politely declined. I thanked them for thinking of me but I always explain that I don't like being far away from my daughter like that if I don't have to, and while we aren't necessarily struggling financially, I like to those kinds of funds towards my family going away somewhere together.What I've been met with the last couple times comments like "aw you never get to have any fun!" or "But I'm sure you need a break, come on" or guilt that a friend from out of town will be there and I'll be missing out on seeing her.They mean well, but they don't seem to understand that I chose the mom life and I don't need a break from it, at least not while she's still little and impressionable. It may be worth mentioning that all of these friends are married, they just don't have children.Am I being too strict on myself? I mean I know this isn't an abnormal thing for adults to take a weekend trip out of town with friends sans kids/spouses, but right now I just prefer to spend my free time and money doing things as a team with my husband and daughter. I know they have fun when they take their girls trips and just want me to get to experience that too, but I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything if I'm being honest. These same friends have also been very supportive of me in all of my ventures, so in a way I do feel a little guilty that I'm not returning that by spending time with them, but I wish the terms were different. Anyone else experience this? And is there a better way I can express to these friends that I'm just not interested without seeming unappreciative that they want to include me? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2meNlMs
