About to become a single mum to a 3 yr dd and 16 month DS.
I live on the 9th floor of a tower block and trying to do stuff like unloading shopping, loading up the car etc is going to be seriously tricky.
I have worked out that it takes 30 seconds for the lift to go down/up.
If I have to wait for the lift that could be another 30 seconds.
Car is parked close by front of building.
In total I would be gone from the flat for say 5 minutes.
Is that too long?
I would strap both DC into their high chairs and, of course, lock the door.
Is it really bad?
Once h is gone I will have no one to help out with these things and suddenly the simplest things are looking quite complicated.
If I have to take DC down to the car to put in bags for an overnight trip or whatever reason it could mean several trips, dragging them both up and down.
I feel ok about it. But I wonder if that is my wishful thinking.
