I Still cry.......

I sitting here balling like a baby and Im not even kidding.... Why you are probably wondering...



Because my babies are on their way to Gmas for the night possibly... at least one of them will stay maybe both depending on how to day goes for grandma....

I know I should be happy but they have only been gone less then 5 min and I miss them soooo much..... its like I dont know what to do with my self now..... I sent them there for the day so I could wash our floors but now DH wants to go to dinner and a movie and I know we deserve it but i miss them so much... I dont ever go anywhere with out them.....

Dh called and me on the phone and heard that I was still crying and said im an adult and I need to accept it... True as it may be does not mean its an easy thing to do....

Does anyone else ever do this?

 

Here's an idea . . . I'll send my twins over to your house so you won't have an empty nest, and I'll wash my floors (or go out to dinner and a movie with DH!

No, I totally understand, but still try to enjoy your free time and they WILL be home soon.

I have a hard time leaving mine to go to the grocery store. I am sorry to say, but I am very selfish about them going other places and with others. I feel VERY guilty because I am like this, but I do not know how to help it. Do you think this is normal or are we just different?

I feel the same way. My babies have never been apart from me for more than a few hours. I know it's not really good, but that's just how it's worked out. i'm too afraid still to let them go to grandparents' houses and spend the night. NO WAY!!!

 

It's hard. There were so many times when I just wanted to get a break from the kids and the minute they were gone I was bawling my eyes out. I think the first time we didn't have the girls they were six months. We had visited my FIL and he said to leave them overnight. I was completely unprepared for this but we left them. And, I'm glad that I did. Enjoy your night! They'll be fine and you'll be ok too!

 

I know how you feel! I just left my boys recently for THREE NIGHTS and I almost got off the plane more than once when we were waiting for it to start moving.

It will get easier, but I think it's just a sign that you are a really good parent who wants to make sure her kids are okay at all times.

It also really helps to remind yourself that Gmas are the very best people to leave your babies with- they not only are experienced, but also are truly IN LOVE with your kids!

Good luck and hang in there!

 

a few weeks after mine were born (and we were having such sleeping issues) my mom took my son for the night...I felt so guilty because I knew she'd be up all night - thats what bothered me the most was burdening someone else...

I hope you enjoyed your evening!

 

Sorry you had a hard time with it!! I would have been jumping up and down and getting myself ready for dinner and a movie with hubby!! We all react differently to these things. I hope you were able to relax and enjoy your night off!!

 

ME ME ME.... it's happened less frequently as they grow older..and as the number of children I have has increased.... it's much easier to let them go for a night when I'm exhausted and want to cry just b/c I want some "ME" time... And as my number of kids went from 1 to 3 I have found that my mom takes them much less frequently.... so I tend to enjoy the rare occasions when I do get away...plus she usually only takes one or two at a time...so I'm prevented from crying too much with the awareness that I'm gaining some very rare "special" time with the one I do have.. Consider it a very small baby step in the difficult road every parent faces ....eventually LETTING GO....and just be thankful that you won't really have to let go in a major way until they are much older... Can't imagine how that momma bird feels kicking her baby birds out of the nest for the last time...
