To go out tonight

Despite us being absolutely broke - my mum will probably give me £20 today because she just always does (thank god, else we wouldnt manage). There has been a girly night arranged for ages, nothing spectacular, just pizza and a two for one offer at that! Its early though and DP will have to put DD to bed on his own - although he has been having to do this anyway as she wont have me I do read a story or three though. I just feel terribly guilty about going out, but i have been really really down lately and it always cheers me up to see my friends from LBL (life before lucy). I haven't been out on my own since september, and only once with DP in that time..........so tell me, AIBU, i know i am but............its probably only going to cost less than a tenner - bloody hell, why do i have to feel so sodding guilty all the time.

I have missed the last three girly nights for lack of cash or DP not being "able" to put DD to bed or lack of funds.

yanbu, as fawkeoff said, we all need time on our own & as you said you haven't been out in ages!

Sounds like you have lovely friends btw

Go out - I am sure your mum would want you to enjoy yourself. In my book happy mum = happy kids.

You should definitely go out. Really you should. You know this deep down I think.

It is important to keep in touch with your friends and just not talk about babies for a few hours!

Your DH should want you to go. I'm sure he is very capable! Just try to make sure that he gets to go out with his mates sometime soon so there's no resentment.

DP has just announced that he wont be finished work in time for me to go - i wouldn't mind, but he is working from home [disappointed]

i did get to go out, DP came in and said he would stop work, but my mum offered to sit with DD for a few hours so he could get finished. My night out was worth more than a whole packet of prozac

Well done you

We all need "me" time now and again, glad you have good mates

ChocolateEclair · 23/04/2008 16:43

Oh I'm so glad you went out! Well done. We all do need our own time without DH or DC...helps keep you being yourself. Really happy to read the development!
