Handholding. Anyone else?

So my first born starts school on Tuesday. Then the routine of every other weekend at dads begins.
Till now I've had her on Thursdays when I've been off work & with her dads shift pattern it's not felt like she's been away from me for too long, but now, now it feels like I'm at the start of losing her a little.
I'm probably just being super emotional but have no other friends coparenting, I feel a little bit like I'm extra sad cause I won't get every weekend to 'catch up' with her.
Sorry for the self indulgence and I'm sure I'm opening myself up to 'what about dad' but I just hoped to be able to open up to similar people in these circumstances xx

It does feel like that but once she's in school, you'll soon get into a routine and you'll be fine.

You'll see her after school, when she's fresh with what she did, she'll have forgotton by weekend! make sure you have time every evening to catch up and it won't feel like you're missing out.

I know it's tough and nothing anyone can say can take that anyway but make sure you plan things to keep busy. A house project, working out, pampering, time with friends. Don't sit home and think as it will make you feel worse.

Sending love, you'll be ok
