My Y6 daughter has gone on her school's residential trip this week. I know she will be loving it. I too have enjoyed it as have been able to have quality time with my youngest and there has been no arguing, I bickering or fighting and bedtime has been a dream. Sure I do miss my eldest and am looking forward to seeing her on Friday but feel pretty bad when I go on Facebook. Virtually every other mum (and quite a few dads too) are on there claiming how much they miss their children, roll on Friday, can't wait for them to come home, wish they had never gone. I don't feel like that. I do miss my daughter and have thought about her loads but I know she is having a great time and probably not missing me at all. Think going on this trip will give her more confidence and experience new things but am I mean for not wishing she was here and enjoying a bit of peace and quiet? Not sure if I'm abnormal as no one else has said this.
