DS is 16 months, and his two aunties (my DH's sisters) have very kindly offered to come and look after him for a weekend so DH and I can take a much-needed weekend away together.
I was really excited about the prospect, but now that it's less than a week away I've started to get really nervous...will he think we've abandoned him? He has met his aunts a few times (they live quite far away) and likes them - and they obviously adore him - but he doesn't see them that regularly. Will he feel like he's with strangers? And will I be able to relax at all while we're away? He's also not a very good sleeper and I'm not sure how he'll react to someone who isn't me or DH trying to settle him at night.
I've been away from him for work trips of 5 or so nights a couple of times (leaving him with DS) and we've left him with my mum to put to bed etc a few times (not overnight though) and he's been fine. He doesn't have separation anxiety and generally is a secure, happy little boy.
Will he be okay? Has anyone else done something similar and it's been okay? Please reassure me!
