I would feel the feelings and go anyway. I wish someone would take our 3 so we could get a night away. Enjoy it!
My son is 25 months old too, and if my husband ask to go without my son on holidays I will tell him that he can go and I will stay . I had 10 years travelling and going out with hub before my son has arrived then now is he’s time 🥰. Of course when he will be bigger I want to do a weekend somewhere just 2 of us . But as you said I never left him with nobody else a part Myself and husband. Anyway if you decided to go , don’t go too far in case you need back quickly 😘
Me and my partner are going away for three days in sept for our 15 years. I can’t wait not going to lie. I’ll miss him like crazy but this time away is so needed. I know he will love being with grandparents xx
Do you have anyone else local like grandparents you'd be willing to let look after her for even a short time? I wonder if maybe you could start by taking a couple hours together while they looked after her and work up to an overnight stay where you and your partner stay local but have some time together and then all being well you could look at going away for a night or 2. I'm sure it will still feel strange and be hard but gradually working to it might make you feel more confident your daughter is safe and well looked after
Our daughter is at her grandies for 2 days a week and naps with them. We're going to arrange a dinner date where they put her to bed, then we can start to work up to a weekend away. We've not managed to on holiday at all for more than a weekend since she was born, planning a proper family holiday this year though
I would absolutely do it! My two are 2 and 3 and we’ve had a couple of sleepovers with my parents, nothing exciting though we were moving across the country and it was easier to have them with my parents and then my husbands Christmas do. It’s my 30th birthday in April and we’re due baby 3 in June so planning a couple of nights in a hotel before it’s harder to leave them again. My kids love time with my parents and they’re spoiled rotten. I’m so big on the fact that I still want to be married to my husband and not just parenting together, I think it’s so important to get quality time together and refresh x
Thank you all for your advice ❤️ Our parents live in different countries, Amelia adores both sides but as they do not get to see her often, I worry that they don’t know how to look after her properly. That’s my only concern. We do have a nanny who comes once a week and I could leave with her as our daughter adores her and we do trust her but again what if something happens while we are gone? Constant what ifs in my head… My husband is very understanding and of course he doesn’t pressure me into it at all, he just thinks even for my own good I need that time off to myself where I can relax a little.
It’s normal to feel like that! But go on holiday, it’s important for the two of you!! I went twice. Once for one night and then 3 nights. Everything went ok. My advice it’s go because this feeling won’t go, but once you are there you forget about it a little bit!
