I must have lost my mind.
I have agreed to send N to my inlaw's for the entire weekend. I have never been away from her overnight before! We are dropping her off Friday night and meeting them in Lafayette on Sunday to pick her up. WTF was I thinking? I'm going to miss my baby so much!
Re: I must have lost my mind.
ha you're doing better than me, Elise just had her first overnight in February at 2.5 years old! It'll be okay, you're going to miss her like crazy and see lots of things you think she would have liked to see. And the worst part is the driving away, leaving her there. It just feels WRONG.
But you can have some fun in your house while she's gone. Not just in the shower
It really is so hard the first time. Don't feel bad if there are some tears during the weekend (yours). It does get much easier each time, especially when you see how much fun she is having with new experiences and new places.
Enjoy the break. It's very rejuvenating and you'll be an even better mommy when she gets back.
ditto!
If i didnt get a break here and there, i would not be the fully functioning person that i am. Besides enjoying myself and having 'me' time, I do get a lot of things around the house done too. trust me, it will be ok.
Oh believe me, this has already been discussed.
I'm resisting the urge to make a list of do's and don'ts to send with her. Things like "Do feed her fresh veggies and no, potato salad is not a veggie" or "Don't let her play with tv remotes b/c she has been known to order copious amounts of porn".
This is exactly how I spend my downtime when I have nights off! The going out part is even optional.
Wow! I am not sure I could do it, and Nolan is still nursing so I'm not sure he'd make it either! Not sure when we will try a night away, D's parents don't do stuff like that (watch babies over night) and my family is no where near here. He may be five before that happens, haha!
Really? Like, not at all? That is just so strange to me.
What about your SIL? Noly Poly would have fun there!
Nope, they don't do it for any of the grandkids - not sure why, they just don't. Growing up we used to spend time with my grandparents allll of the time - it's strange to me too. If my family were closer, they would for sure. Both of my SILs (my brother's wife and D's sister) have both moved. One just moved to Houston and one to CA.
D's parents have never kept W overnight, and have never offered.. and my mom kept her the day that I had my Mirena put in, but aside from that W hasn't had a sleepover yet.
N will be fine! Enjoy your weekend doin the dirty with Mr Shoe!!
