Thoughts of sending my baby to another country with my mom
Show your support
@Monét it’s really not uncommon? My husband said maybe that drastic change can affect the baby
I think she’s so young that if she’s taken care of, she’ll be perfectly fine. She may need to adjust to her surroundings, but she will.
No judgement but personally I could never. Is there any chance your mum could come stay with you for a bit? Obviously your mum has time and it’s also the most cost effective as far as flights
@Jessica no, she can’t, she has medical appointments she can’t reschedule and also she has to be home for my other siblings and step dad
Can't you go and stay with your mum so that you're still around to see your baby but have your mum's help?
yes, send her!! what a great experience for your mom and your baby to share together! a four or five hour flight is not long at all. I took my son on a six hour flight when he was two months old and he did amazing but the older they get the harder is to fly (like doing that six hour flight after he hit one years old was hell) so she would be super easy for a plane ride right now at six months old and you really wouldn’t have to worry about her. also, how amazing that your mom offered to take her so that you could have some time to yourself and get yourself back to a good place and state of mind. I think recovering mentally would be a great thing for you and I totally understand being anxious that your baby isn’t right there with you, but I think the positives outweigh the negatives. Plus, there’s always FaceTime and stuff like that. either way, whatever choice you make I’m sure it will be the best one for you and your baby! sending you all my love and positive energy 🤍
I think if you trust your mom and where the baby will be, definitely take advantage. I know it won’t be easy to do, but if you will be healthier if you send her, take the help. This isn’t uncommon at all 🫶🏾
