my son has gone away

[cheeryface]

on a school trip for 4 days.
i have butterflies in my stomach.
i don't like it and neither does ds2.

i think he might find it hard because he never wants to sleep out or anything and at first insisted he wouldn't go but the teacher talked him round.

bet you all think i'm dead pathetic!

[GhostOfMumsnet]

not at all. i'd feel the same

[gothicmama]

no, it's a rite of passage for him and you hope he enjoys it and you and ds2 fine some fab things to do whilst ds 1 is away

[ScoobyDooooo]

Don't think you are pathetic at all i actually dread this when it comes to my kids going away few years yet though.

I hope he is ok & has a lovely time, the time will fly

any good ideas for me and ds2? it has been so quiet tonight. i have felt as though i have to keep the conversation going!
