dd just turned two. ds 10mo -- but dd is the issue
going to a wedding on saturday. going to my parents friday, staying night. going to wedding saturday morning, back midnight or so.
sounds so simple and small, i know. please stay with me on this one.
dd great relationship with gps who stay with us more than fortnightly. but we never go to their house so she won't remember.
she had a tummy bug a month ago and has been really dif person since. really clingy to me, getting v upset without me, dh (who she usually closer to tbh) not wanted, has to be me. was due to start nursery after easter. settling in sessions (where i left her) going well til after tummy bug when she had real melt down.
last thurs dh and i went away overnight for first time. leaving her with gp's at our house. proper meltdown when we left. fine til morning when she was a bit upset again but basically ok.
since then, she has been super mum-fixated. dh getting more than a bit wound up .
so, i have the heebees about leaving her in unknown place. i know that worse case scenario is that she screams from 11am when we leave til 1am when we return. my mum knows this too and is basically ok with it. BUT what i would like is some handholding and any practical tips. the only thing i have in way of practicalities is to buy dvds for the hours cbeebies isnt on, and to take my ma big bunch flowers and some posh spirits. and going that day early so dd not completley in at deep end.
god, i sound so wet. my pre-dc self would be cringing in embaressment. but me right here right now is just thinking of dd feeling abandoned in new place...
'elp!
