Mum guilt
Our friends have booked for me & my husband to have 2 nights away next week, which is lovely but I have so much mum guilt I want to cancel. I have a 2 year old girl & 10 month old boy. I’m not worried about leaving my 2 year old as she loves her nan & is used to us having the odd night away. But I’ve never left my 10 month old. He’s definitely more clingy than my daughter & is a definite mummy’s boy. I just feel so guilty I’m thinking of cancelling. Has anyone been away from their little one for 2 nights & it be ok when you got back? I don’t know why I just sit here thinking that he will be upset missing me the whole time I’m away. Or am I just being ott. I do definitely need a break & it would be lovely but I don’t know how to switch off the mum guilt for 2 nights. This is such a 1st world problem I know lol, I’m just up thinking about it

Perhaps go for one night ilit may be good for both of you to see how things are?
Worst case if you absolutely feel you can't leave him, instead of canceling take him with you x

Could you maybe go for your nights away and if the baby really doesn’t cope without you then just cut the trip short and head back? I know it’s not ideal if it has been paid for but it may give you that peace of mind. It may be that you get there and things are absolutely fine
