I’m just posting this to vent about something.
myself and my fiancée had a night out planned to go to an event that’s held once a year in our town, we’ve missed it now for a few years in a row just due to childcare reasons and covid etc.. this year we had it all organised that’s his mum was taking our youngest (7 weeks) and my mum was taking our eldest (3.5 years). This was to be our first night out together since August 2022 we were absolutely buzzing with excitement thinking nothing could go wrong we finally got both our parents free on the same weekend.. Covid has struck my mums house and she can’t take my eldest son😞 we’ve tried everyone else we can think of and they are all working, we are totally devastated. I’m starting to feel “mum burnout”, I had really bad PPD with my eldest boy and could feel it creeping its way back in again and needed just one night to be myself and not just “mummy”. I feel guilty even writing this as I ADORE my two boys but I really needed this one night away.. it’s not anyone’s fault by any means just need somewhere to vent😂
