Crying in a hotel room

Shandie_725 · November 2010

I'm a state away from DD til Sunday night, when I'll be home. I'm crying in the hotel room cuz I haven't seen DD or DH since last night, altho DH's sent me a few pics. I'm just hoping i make it til Sunday night

Aw, that sucks! Hugs!

I'd probably be doing the same thing, but on the plus side, you get to sttn if your DD isn't already :-) Hang in there- you'll see your little lady soon!!

That's what Mopsie said (STTN), but I won't.

I'm sorry. That must be so hard.

Take advantage and take a bubble bath, order room service and movies, and get a good nights sleep!

I'm sure your little crotch dropping will make it. Youre not even breastfeeding anyway, so why the attachment? She doesnt need you to eat

punkfiction_v.3 · November 2010

laurieb602 · November 2010

I got a 5 day job, and obviously too far to commute so the company's paying for a hotel. I've done a night away from DD, but have seen her everyday so it's hard knowing I won't see her.

Can't help but stir things up, huh?- seriously, "crotch dropping" is just nasty.....I really can't imagine anyone who's had a kid saying that.....or questioning a mother's level of attachment.....this makes me question whether this troll even has a LO.

punkfiction_v.3 · November 2010

oh she's not a troll.

jamato1 · November 2010

I'm sorry your away from your LO:( I couldn't imagine how tough that must be ! About the troll ... You have to be ignorint to believe that an attachment only forms through nursing and people post for advice and words of wisdom your reply was imature go somewhere else to start drama !

OH COME ON. she is *crying* in her hotel room bc she hasnt seen ds or dh in 24 hrs. SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!

maybe she is crying because she knows she won't see her DD until Sunday. I traveled all last year and was only home every other weekend and it sucked just as bad on the Monday after a home visit as it did the next week. I'm sure knowing she won't see her family til Sunday plays into it.

5 days is a long time for some people. I don't like when DH has to go away for 3 nights for work (or 4....) not everyone can be as "tough" as you like to appear to be. I'd be having a very hard time being away from my DD and my DH for 5 days. Just because you wouldn't be upset and you wouldn't get emotional about it, no need to get all snarky on her. Seriously. If anything I give you the side eye that you wouldn't have a hard time with it. And don't come back with a reply that "you never said you wouldn't have a hard time, you just wouldn't cry..." Some people are more emotional than others, there is nothing wrong with being upset. (But I do think there is something slightly wrong if you wouldn't be even slightly upset. Yes, it has it's upsides, more sleep, can think about you only, adult conversation, but if you wouldn't miss your kids or your husband, that says something.) I know you never said you wouldn't miss them, but you sure as heck are implying it or that you're tougher than that.

OP, hang in there. The time will go quickly and soon you'll be back with your adorable DD and your husband. I know it stinks, but try to enjoy the upsides I mentioned above. It won't be easy but enjoy only havin to worry about taking care of yourself for the next few days, taking long showers or a hot bath, ordering room service like someone mentioned or renting a movie. Do all you can to find some enjoyment

emilysmommy2010 · November 2010

I would be very upset too. Hang in there momma!

mopsie · November 2010

At least we get to hang out for the next 4 days!!! I'll bring you tissues tomorrow. Or just steal them from the hotel! Hope you have a good night's sleep - don't stay up all night watching The Office!!!!!

Lauren9881 · November 2010

I'd have a hard time with that too! Get a nice bottle of wine, have a glass, take a bath and try to make the best of it. Good luck getting a decent night's sleep. Imagine how amazing that first snuggle will be!

ilubmybaby · November 2010

oh she's not a troll.

I tried to tell them but they think I'm a troll just because I don't like them.

It feels the same as all other snuggles.

ilubmybaby · November 2010

FTR OP, the only reason you should be crying in a hotel room is if the john tries to skip out on payment.

I know, I know...I just can't help but feel a little bad for OP, even if I do think it's a little nutty. This whole "mother" think is apparently making me soft...

OP, I like you, I do.

But really, try a deployment. Its 5 days. It drives me nuts when girls get on here and are pouting cos their husbands are away or what have you, for like, a handful of days. Its not even like either of you are in a war zone. I'm sure you'll both survive and be fine.

There is a big difference. You signed up for a life of deployments and being away from your spouse when you married and/or procreated with a service member. The OP didn't and it doesn't make her any less homesick just because she isn't going to be gone for months.

I would hate to be away from MH or my LO for 5 days and I don't give two fvcks if some internet ladies feel otherwise.

I think the posters who are so into the mommy wars need to get a life and stop judging everyone else. Side-eye works both ways.

The competition for the mom least affected by motherhood is super lame.

you can easily be sad that your dh or dc is gone. that is totally fine. BUT CRYING ALONE IN YOUR HOTEL ROOM? get a fvcking grip.

Then why are you on here defending another "internet lady"?

Sure, I signed up for it, but do you think that OP didnt realize that there may be times she'd have to travel for her job?! That goes both ways.

And never once did I say dont be sad. All I said was its 5 days, she'll survive; and she will.

tessab2515 · November 2010

I just posted a similar thing the other night when I was OOT for work for the first time. I thought it'd be easier with the second baby but it's not! I'm gone all next week too and already dreading it. To some of the other posters- not sure if you a are SAHM, but if you are remember that WMs only get a few hours a night to see our LO. While it's not a long time we may be away, it already feels like we don't see them enough. It's hard to not even get those few precious hours.
