Missing my baby boy and I no I’m stupid

[Buzlightyear1]

I I this is so stupid. And parent must think I’m so stupid🤦‍♀️ But my some is with my mum it’s the first day out with out me. He’s not allowed unsupervised visits with his dad. He’s 3.5 I was planning on nursery but Covid hit and now the only close one won’t take new kids on. So he’s never been away. He was nervous but I no he will have fun. But oh man I’m a reck I miss my baby so much . He’s coming back at 7pm but I can’t help this achy feeling

Aw, it's understandable that you miss him.

But he'll be fine - he'll have had a lovely day with his nana/grandma and the separation will do you good. I was terrible at leaving mine but I ended up wishing I'd done it sooner as they/you get used to it and it gets easier the more you leave them.

Aw it’s not stupid at all! My 3 year old has just started preschool only 2 afternoons a week and I miss him so much when he’s not there. Try and enjoy your afternoon, why not do something for yourself that you wouldn’t get a chance to do if he was there. He will be back before you know it.

Thank you. Is good to have some one who understands. I feel so silly, I no it’s good for him. He will have a fantastic time my mum is amazing. I need to concentrate I. That and not watch the clock😂

Btw, it's better that you do this now and not wait till he starts school when there's a chance you'll be a nervous wreck.

What are you doing while he's with your mum? Sorry - that sounds really nosey 😂 but what I mean is if you're not working then you should treat yourself to doing something that you can't do when your DS is around. Eg, watch a film that might be unsuitable, read a book uninterrupted, have some delicious food that you don't have to share!

You're not stupid so don't call yourself that please!

I hope he has had lots of fun and that 7pm comes round quickly for you

It’s natural that you will be worried and miss him if it’s always been the two of you. I always think you miss them more than they miss you though - he’ll be getting spoiled and having fun with grandma! By the time he’s back I’m sure you’ll miss the peace and quiet

Aww thank you everyone. I really appreciate it you’ve helped me calm myself a bit😂 I’ve been going through everything in the house thought I might as well get a good tidy up. At least it will keep me busy.

I definitely didn’t want to leave it till school to be the first time away. Just filling in the paperwork online made me sick😂. We’ve been through so much in the last few years it’s so scary😂 I’m so proud of him though he’s so grown up in the way he talks . He did tell me don’t worry mummy I love grandma so I won’t scream. Thank you . It helps to have people to talk to with these things mums net has really helped me over the last couple of years
