Someone tell me to get a grip...

[daisy962]

I'm a FTM with a 4 month old who does not sleep at all so I've been extremely sleep deprived since she was born! DH has booked me a spa weekend to go and relax while he looks after the baby. I've been so excited up until now - the mum guilt has well and truly taken over! I've never actually been away from DD so somehow feel like I'm abandoning her! What if she needs me? What if DH can't settle her? I feel dreadful and very emotional. Someone tell me to get a grip! How do you get over mum guilt?

Go do you darling 😃 Relish the nice break and just relax.

Your DH is a complete gem for thinking of you like this when you’re so stressed out.

Your little one will be just fine..👌

You are letting them to have precious daddy-daughter bonding time.
Of course he can manage, he's a parent just like you. Enjoy and relax!

That's amazing of your husband OP, sounds like a good guy.
Go and relax, you'll be all the better after it. Mum guilt is so hard but think of this as a chance to recharge for all of you x

Absolutely get a grip! Go enjoy yourself! Baby will be fine.

Enjoy it!

She will be fine. You're not abandoning her, she will.be with her other parent!!
Chill out and enjoy your pampering 😍

She'll be fine.
Your DH, well, let's just wait and see on that one.
He might be a bit frazzled by the time you get back.

They will have bonding time, and you will feel refreshed and ready to continue doing a great job! You need to look after yourself so you're able to look after your child. Just enjoy the break!

It will do you both the world of good

Of course go and have a lovely time if that's what you want. You deserve it. But also, if you'd rather stay at home with your baby that's fine too. Don't feel guilty about not going if you don't want to just because your husband has bought it for you.
