Leaving a 3yr old for a night out...

Ok help me out.

I have a chance to go out and have a well needed night out with DP to reinvigorate our relationship/just have fun.

We are an hour from home in DPs home town. dD is with his mum. She loves his mum.

We've had an offer to stay at a friends house so I can drink (I never do and it would be great to be able to)

BUT...

I just can't shake the idea that I am being unreasonable in putting a night out above my daughter. She rarely sleeps the night and always wants cuddles. She is happy and safe with her DGma but I can't help feeling guilty. Does it make me a bad parent to do this? This will be my first night away from her.

I'm glad I'm not the only one Lucy. It's a hard step and I do think I was making it worse for myself by leaving it but I simply wasn't ready. I might book a fancy hotel for the night and have a real getaway soon.

I don't imagine I could cope with being more than ten/twenty mins from her just yet... Blush
