Travel/Separation Anxiety

Em&BeeEm&Bee
in Parenting after 35
I'm trying to decide if I should go to New Orleans with my DH.  He has a business meeting but will be free a good part of the trip.  Room and his airfare are paid, so it would be fairly cheap, and it would only be leaving Thursday - returning Sunday.  2 year old DD would stay with my mom whom she loves, but she's kind of a momma's girl and I feel terrible leaving her, I'm kind of a homebody, so we're together a lot.  I'm sure I'm being ridiculous, I just worry about how we'll feel being separated.  Thoughts, encouragement?  My mom says I'll have fun after I'm on my way there. Anyone go through the same thing??

    You'll be fine and so will she. Take advantage of it and GO! I went away when my DD was maybe 6 months (EBF too) and I had stored a weeks worth of supply and was worried. I am a SAHM. The funny thing was it was our first trip away and all we did was talk about DD, go figure.

    Enjoy yourself while your gone. She might fuss for a bit, nothing your mother can't handle. Good luck! You will miss her, but back soon enough.

    You may think I am a bad momma, but I looking at the possibility of leaving DS with my sister for 6 days in March. She would love to do that. He will be 9 months old then. Me and DH have a conference in Florida and it is Mon-Fri conference. Still debating a lot! We are leaning more towards taking him with us, but my sister babysitting for us is still an option. If he was 2 years old though, I would not think for a moment. I would just go, knowing that somebody who cares is talking care of him. I would say you girl pack the bags and go enjoy!

    Take this opportunity because you might not get it again.

    DH and I took a week vacation w/o DS last May (@14M); yes, I dearly missed him but I knew he was with my mom so I was at ease.

    If you don't go, can I? I'd love a break, and New Orleans is a blast!  DH and I went to the Domican Republic when DS was 9 months old.  And it was great!  Go, Go, Go!
