Friends 30th birthday this weekend coming and we've all booked a weekend in Rome.
10 mums going Friday evening and back Sunday afternoon.
Everyone very excited but I'm feeling sick at the thought of leaving my children and boarding a plane.
I'm terrified something will happen to me flying and the kids will be left without a mum and equally scared something will happen to the kids and I won't be able to just jump in a taxi and come home.
For what it's worth I have left them before to go away with work but never flying, I've also had many nights away for family weddings and so on but never a flight.
I feel crazy as some of the mums are leaving newborns and mine are 8 and 5 years old.
