Do you still feel bad/sad leaving your kids for the day/night?

I still feel this way and ds is 3. Tonight we all came over to my mom's for Thanksgiving dinner, napped, watched football, watched a movie, etc. DH and DS just left to go home and I'm staying. I'm shopping with my mom tomorrow morning, so it would just be easier to stay here overnight for me. I will see P tomorrow evening, but I still felt sad saying goodbye to him tonight. I think it's just as hard for me to leave him as it is for him to leave me :-)

    Not really and I never really did. I think I'm the weird one though. I enjoy my time off and know I will get to see the boys soon, so I cherish it while I can. I only feel this way when either mh or my parents watch them though...which is always. But I've never had a problem leaving them. (In fact, when my parents keep the boys for a night, when mh and I walk out the door, we high five. Kind of jokingly...but kind of not...lol).

    Sometimes. It just depends. Like yesterday I had to drop her off so I could go to work, then she spent the night with a friend b/c I had to go to work this morning. Times like that I feel bad.But if I get the off-chance to go out and do something fun I don't feel bad/sad at all.

    No. I think I'm the weird one. At times I can't wait to get out of the house and do something on my own or with dh or anyone for that matter, but as soon as I'm saying goodbye to him, I get all sad (I mean not sobbing sad, but a little heart tug sad). Even dh will say while we are out sometimes, "I miss Preston, don't you". Maybe once we have two it will be different...lol.

    Nope, weirder than you because I've never left dd at all except for work.  Oh, wait the time I had to stay in the ER, she left me because they kept me overnight.  DH took her home and I stayed at the hosptial.  I begged them to discharge me before dd woke up so I'd be there.

    This is totally me too. My girls have so much fun at grandmas.  It's like a vacation for them too!
