To feel petrified about Glastonbury?

[PollyIndia]

Am off to Glastonbury in 2 weeks for my first weekend away since I had my DS 9 months ago. I stopped breastfeeding this week so only been out drinking once in 18 months ( last night ) and was ready to go home by 1030! I am a single mum so am going with all my old party mates, none of whom have kids. I am feeling excited in some ways, but also quite scared that the old me is gone forever and I will get there and just be thinking about DS all the time and will have forgotten how to do it. AIBU? I suppose I am just looking for a bit of reassurance from other mums who have had kids and come out the other side! I am going for 2 nights and my parents are looking after him.
Please be gentle :)

You will have a great time. Chill!

Glastonbury is amaaaaaazing! The best time I ever had was when sober.

You will love it! They've got everything there, so you don't have to be partying non stop.

Plenty of calls home will soon reassure you.

you'll miss him sometimes and other times you''ll forget for abit and just enjoy the party. you'll be cool, coming home will bbe all the sweeter. have fun, i'm soo jealous

Ha thanks! I am not normally like this... I think last night worried me a bit. And I know I will really miss him... Though he will be happy as larry with mum

You will be fine, he will be fine. You'll be back in the swing of things with an hour or two ;) Becoming a mother doesn't mean our old selves have to disappear :)

Thank you all. Feeling better already! Superstarheartbreaker I won't be sober!

After a few hours you'll start to enjoy yourself and have a ball!! However I laughed all the way down the driveway when I went to V fest and other delights last year! You will miss him but you'll soon become yourself again! Enjoy x

Angryfeet no. Though I guess until you have done it, it is hard to realise that.
Thanks!

Once you've got over the shock of not being able to phone all the time as there's no signal there, you are sure to have an amazing time. I'm jealous. I went a couple of years ago without my kids, with a friend and can honestly say it was an absolute turning point for me confidence wise. I'd lost it a bit with kids etc but had the most brilliant time and did it all on my own, travel, camping, carrying stuff etc. Have a fab time x

Have a good one.

Thanks both. Awks, i have lost some of my confidence since having him too... My mum says it will be good for me to go and rediscover that bit of myself. Good to hear that you did. I have been a lot of times BB (before baby), so I know how good it can be.

It will be amazing and you will be fine and baby will have a lovely time with your mum. It is scary though leaving them but nothing will happen bar you getting mashed, vomming up your goat curry and getting sunburned. If you bottle out, I'll have your ticket

You'll have a great time. I'm assuming you're UK based so if you wanted or needed to you can be home in a few hours. Sounds like everyone's a winner, your baby gets spoiled, your parents get him to themselves and you get to be yourself for a couple of days! Plus the good thing about festivals is you can go back to the tent for a tactical nap then carry on the party, you might end up having more sleep than usual! Good all round!

Have a ball OP.
And your mum sounds brilliant.

You will have a FAB time OP! Tip - take earplugs, the silicone ones.

You're welcome.
