I hope you're not reading that I'm leaving kids home alone. I still life with my W. If I'm going out that night, she's there. I'd never leave them home alone.
No, I didn't infer you left them home alone. PS - I DO leave my kids alone sometimes!
Just suggesting 1) a cute, handwritten note takes just a minute and directly tells your little ones you're thinking about them and how they can reach you, and 2) I'd aim to disappear in the middle of the night no more than your "partner", so your kids can rely on you equally in the middle of the night.
