I used to relate but I've worked on this for myself and for her!! Now when my mil comes to watch her, I go climb mountains. literally. something I used to do a lot before I had her, and something I've missed dearly. sometimes I'll hike with other moms and sometimes alone. I find that my mind wanders and of course I think and talk of her often but I no longer worry. I know she is being well taken care of, in our home where she feels safe and sound. when I get home she is happy to see me and I her. it's nice to switch it up every once in awhile 🥰

I just don’t leave my little boy because I hate it, left him once for an hour and he’s 13 months now and I still can’t do it! Hated leaving him I trust no one x

I might feel that way if I didn't have people I could trust with her, but my husband is an amazing caregiver, and fully competent after over a year, and she's had regular overnights with my mom from about 6 months, who is also completely trustworthy. Anyone else though and I doubt I'd be able to relax - the other grandparents either don't care or don't know enough how to take care of her and I end up answering a ton of questions and interjecting anyway. But between my mom and husband I get enough time to relax and not constantly think about it!
