I have been offered the chance to go away with my best friend for a week to Turkey in September. The accommodation is free as the apartment belongs to another friend so will just be paying for flights and spending money. My PFB DS will be 10 months when I plan to go. DH is fine with it and is encouraging me to go, my Mum is going to help out with the childcare and work have given me the time off. The next step is to book the flights. However, I am starting to have a massive crisis of conscience. the idea of a week lying by a pool reading a book with no demands from anyone seems like absolute bliss but I am really worried about leaving DS for that long. I haven't been away from him for more than a night yet, but will be going back to work full time in July so will be a bit more used to it by Sepetember. Am going to miss him like crazy and have started wondering if my plans make me a really bad mother. Basically I want to know if you were offered this opportuinity would you take it or would you be a good Mum and stay at home and care for your child? I feel bad for even wanting to go!
