Please

dds have gone on holiday with xp,gf& his parents. They have been away before but this is the first time abroad( only 2nd time ever) and I'm getting myself in a state.

I keep thinking of things that can go wrong & I won't be able to get there fast. I have also just realised that they won't have taken a booster for dd2 so now I have a 'real' worry.

I'm also pregnant which isn't helping my emotional state. Usually when they are on holiday dh &i go away but I'm not well & looks like we won't be able to go. I'm not even at work to distract me.

with all those adults around they should be fine.... no point worrying about what you cannot control!

Monty100 · 28/05/2010 10:36

They have their df and gp's with them. That's 3 adults that presumably love and care for them. They'll be fine.

Put your feet up and get better.

4 adults!

Feeling a bit more sane now I have woke up a bit and been distracted by the Dr and new things to worry about

Had a text to say they had landed and were on the way to apartment.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

Why worry about what may or may not happen. Do you not have enough problems to deal with that you feel you have to worry about hypothetical situations?

Very philosophical! (Is that spelt right?)

When your're stuck in bed or in a chair its a bit easy to worry

My DD and DS are going away in Oct with Ex H and his GF and their DD, I know I will worry about them the whole time, because they will be in a different country and if anything did happen I couldn't get to them within a short period of time.

However when I went on holiday with my partner and the children stayed at home, I didn't worry about them in the same way as I was distracted.

I think it is natural and unfortunately unless you are distracted you will naturally come around the thinking about them again - I am not looking forward to October

Nymph - I didn't want to count the gf .

nymphadora · 28/05/2010 20:39

Lol she is actually more grown up thatn him! And the kids seem to like her more

spoke to them dd2bouncing dd1kept saying 'love you miss you' and I cried when they went. Think I have too many hormones for this situation

Nymph - that's great you can trust her too, so yes, they have 4 adults.

Try not to get upset, they'll be having a ball.

Just make the most of your time, look after yourself and the one on the way.

Monty100 · 28/05/2010 21:52

OOps and enjoy dp too!

Well our weekend has gone completely wrong & are on our way home. Have spoken to them every day. Dd1 seems worried about me but they are enjoying themselves. I have been worried everytime I was out of phone range though
