Leaving DD 1st time for 4 days,guilt!?

MrsPCallahan · March 2009

I am going to the beach with my Mom for 4 days. I'll be flying, 1000 miles away, and I already feel guilty for leaving my daughter and I dont' leave til Friday. DH will be fine with her but she's just hit the clingy "I Want Mommy" phase and I dont' want her to feel abandoned or confused. She's 14 months so maybe this isn't the right board but there's no 12-18 month board.

I am going to miss her SO much!!! The longest I've been away from her is 2 1/2 days because of surgery but I also knew I was only 15 minutes away. Even when I came home I couldn't hold her and that was enough torture! How can I relax and enjoy myself instead of ruining my beach vacation feeling guilty the whole time????
