Undertsnading shoulders to cry on please...sorry

[RubyandOscarsmummy]

This is probably going to sound ridiculous but here it is - woke up this morning with terrible cough and generally feeling rough (am also 39wks pg), so DH took my dd (19mths) to her grandparents for the day.

Only it started snowing an hour later and now DH is stuck walking home (2hrs) and dd is stuck overnight at DGPs. I am in floods of tears because I can't get to her, even though I know she is warm and safe and looked after I just can't stop crying beacuse I want her with me.

Don't really have anyone I can call to offload and feeling totally awful. DH shouting at me on phone not to be stupid doesn't help. Sorry if this is hormonal and self indulgent. Shes never been away from me overnight ad doesn;t have her dolly that she sleeps with

I would be upset too. First nights away from home are always a bit worrying, no matter if you logically know they'll be completely fine.
I think you need a prescription of chocolate, stat!

thankyou

Good luck with the new baby, by the way.

I'd be really upset too: pregancy hormones apart, it's a natural reaction, especially as it's unexpected and not your decision.

I've never spent a night away from DS (22 mths) and am in no hurry. But the rational, non-mother part of me says that your DD will be fine, she might not miss the doll as much as she would at home and you'll doubtless take it much harder than she ever will.

As for your DH (maybe shouting because he's p'd off at having to walk home for 2hrs in the snow), he just can't understand. They're not wired the same way...!

Good luck for tonight and for the new baby.
