This is up from 62% in 2006.  \u201cThere are many factors that come into play here\u201d says Denver University researcher Dr. Steve Epley.  \u201cThe poor economy is a major factor, which can cause angst and depression.  Sometimes, people think leaving their families and going to Vegas or Mexico is the best answer.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nLocal parent Brad Haugen totally understands.  \u201cThere are times, especially in the winter, where I realize the highlight of my week was going to King Soopers by myself to get groceries for a half an hour,\u201d says Haugen.  \u201cSo, have I thought about ditchin\u2019?  Yeah, I\u2019ve thought about it.\u201d  The study goes on to show that only 3% of parents actually due end up leaving their families and that that for most, it is just a brief fantasy.\n\u201cEveryone daydreams,\u201d says Epley.  \u201cWhether it be about playing on a professional sports team, becoming famous, or even making out with Rachel McAdams.  We all do it, but understand these are just fantasies.\u201d\nEpley mentions that the key to keeping these just fantasies and not reality is variety.  \u201cDo things differently every week and make sure to break out of your same routine every now and then,\u201d says Epley.  \u201cThe more often you have a \u2018run away\u2019 fantasy, the more likely it is to come true.  ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1690","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-23","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1690\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
