Going away without dd for first time, dreading it...

[jetgirl]

Next week I'm going on a work conference for four days in France. Quite looking forward to it in a way, but dreading leaving dd. I'm really going to miss her, and get depressed just thinking about it. DD is 14 months and dh will be with her, and my in-laws are coming to stay. My parents only live a few miles away too so she's not going to be short of family, but it's the first time I've ever left her. Any advice/words of comfort?

i went thro this in May and ds was 2.5!
went to germany for 4 days leaving him with his daddy (we are separated) i expected to feel distraught but ended up making myself feel guilty because i didn't miss him more!
believe me, you'll be fine x

Have a fantastic time,you may get a chance to read a book,have a bath in peace

It will be fine.
Think how much fun yuor dh and his mother willl have,in a way that is not really possible when the mother is around.

Have emailed you tonight!
It will explAin all.I know you think I am a nutter!!!!

Just wanted to say thanks for the words of comfort. Had a lovely time in france, missed dd loads, but she was so pleased to see me when I got back that it was worth going just for the welcome home!
