I hate it the house feels so empty I work part time (increasing my hours soon) and we've had the same routine since he was a baby. 3 days at work/nursery (that we both loved) and two days together at home. I loved the freedom of being able to do what we wanted, trips to town, hours spent in the park, going swimming, to the cinema, lazy days in the house watching films and playing with his toys, it was bliss being able to do all these things in the week when it was quiet. This weekend has just flew by.

I mean it has it's good points, he seems to be happy and I'm currently sitting here watching The Wright Stuff and munching on a crossaint and still have the whole day to do things in peace. BUt mostly I'm just sad and miss my baby boy.

YANBU.
The bit about being able to do these activities when it's quieter is so so true! My DD started Reception last year and having to go on weekends/holidays everywhere is much busier.
I have managed to acclimatise to the loss Grin and I have one child free day a week now - but after a brief period of missing her quite a bit, I actually rather enjoy this little bit of time to myself.

YADNBU I know exactly how you feel Sad I STILL miss the freedom of being able to plan weekday outings with DS and he's in Year 3!

My PFB DD has started preschool this morning and I don't know what to do with myself! Her sister is asleep and this house is way too quiet! Maternity leave finishes in 3.5 weeks too so won't have to worry for too long :-(

My ds is now in yr3 and I have dd at home and I still miss him when he is at school.

Try to plan stuff for you to do - maybe take up a new hobby or use the time to do something you've always meant to.
