Would it be sad?

norbert5 · December 2010

So my Mom's Night Out was cancelled. Crying I am in DESPERATE need for some mommy time. So would it be sad if I went to my favorite restaurant alone for dinner?

All my girlfriends are busy/can't find a babysitter/sick/out of town/etc. No one can watch DD for DH and I to go out together.

I am not sure if it would be sad or not. I would enjoy the quiet unhurried meal. I have a book I have yet to start because DD has been a beast the past week. I was thinking I could take the book as back up in case I feel too awkward eating alone.

Would you do it? Have you done it?

Is there a bar at the restaurant? I would probably go and eat at the bar by myself, but would feel awkward at a table by myself

I feel for you, I have been there. This time last year I told my H while he was off over the holidays I wanted to go to the movies by myself. It was heavenly

I would totally go! I don't think it's at all weird to go to a restaurant alone, people do it all the time.

I would totally do it! It would be good for you. I have not done it but would do it if I had an opportunity to do so!

I haven't done this yet, but have thought about it. You should totally go.

I've done the movies alone. 19 year old me would've thought going to the movies solo was pathetic, but mom me thinks it was FABULOUS.

I've done it and I would do it again!!! I say go for it.

That sounds lovely. I would maybe go to a movie. There is nothing better than watching a movie in silence and losing yourself in it.

That sounds heavenly! My favorite pre-kid activity was to get a coffee or tea and a muffin and head to the bookstore.. alone.. ahhh.

Oh hell- to the NO (it wouldn't be sad).

Sounds like absolute heaven to me.

I have NO problem going places solo.

Go. eat. drink. read. ENJOY!

Hell- i am jealous. I have done it- and definitely see myself doing that in the near future.

I've done the movies alone, but haven't been to a real restaurant alone, but I'm not opposed to it. Now that I'm a mom, I'll take all the quiet alone time I can get! Enjoy!!!
