Having major mum guilt. Meant to be going out this evening to a once a month event that I've been really looking forward to but DD2.5 has been under the weather for a few days now, relatively bad cough, marginally raised temp (ie not over 37.9 and today not even really considered a fever at no higher than 37.3), snotty nose, generally not feeling well. Today only she's had reduced appetite, though managed ice cream, bit of toast, some raisins, some blueberries. I'm a SAHM and she does want me over DH though knows I'm going out and it will be daddy who comes if she wakes poorly (she has past two nights - slept with me Thurs night from about 9:30 and with me last night between 8:30 and 2am, when she wanted to go back to her cot.
I would like to go - evenings out have been few and far between. I won't be drinking but don't drive so am reliant on someone else to get home. However, I feel awful at the thought of her waking and being distraught that I'm not there. I would be leaving her with DH, her dad. This would usually be fine - it is the fact she's ill that is bothering me. Would you go?
