Hi all
I think I just need a rant
My baby is 5 months old next week and I have been invited to a 3 day and night hen do this weekend which I have decided I won’t be going to because my baby tends to get really upset when I’m not around. I am a single parent and when she has spent even a couple of hours without me with her dad she gets really upset and stressed. I’m frustrated though because no one seems to understand where I’m coming from. One of my friends has suggested that I see the health visitor because it’s not normal for my baby to be so upset all the time! When I’m around she’s never upset - quite the contrary actually. She just is getting to an age where she looks for me when I’m not around and I personally don’t feel ready to leave her for three days as I know she will be upset.
I think the health visitor comment struck a nerve as my baby is fussy and wants to be held by me a lot which a lot of my friends have commented on but I’m happy with that and that’s how I choose to parent her!!
I feel guilty like they will think I’m being stupid and worrying too much but to me this is a huge deal and I don’t want her being upset
