Ds1 is on his first sleepover...

[ponygirl]

...and I really miss him. He's 6.9.

He's stayed with his aunt and uncle and cousins when we've been at MIL's but this is his first sleepover with a friend. And I've never been at home without him being here! I've got dd and ds2, but I really miss ds1 already. The house feels so much emptier without him in it.

Can't wait to get him back tomorrow. How sad am I?! Tell me to pull myself together, or tell me I'm normal, please!

I would tell you to pull yourself together but I am even worse- I just mope around when my children are away on sleepovers I'm afraid

Thanks tamum! I've just put dd and ds2 to bed and ds2 looks really lonely - they share a room. Ds1's bed looks all sad and empty.

Must get a grip. I'm sure in a few years I won't be able to wait to see the back of them, but at the moment I feel I've had a limb hacked off!

Exactly the feeling, ponygirl, I know just what you mean. My heart always sinks when they get invited to sleepovers, I am so selfish!

Thanks tamum! I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who feels like this!
