Feel awful

[Sandra56]

Can stop feeling awful with myself, I am a mum of 2 in my 30s with a DD who is 10 months old. I had a holiday booked with my friends before covid to Spain but it was changed for this year instead. We reccently went for 4 nights, I was really worried about leaving DS1 and DD but thought it would be nice to go and have a bit of a break. Anyway the first few days were nice just staying by the pool and on the beach but on the 3 night we went into town, we all drank far too much and went in a few pubs and nightclubs and didn’t arrive back at the hotel until 6 in the morning, I have never done this before and got in that late and I just can’t stop feeling terrible about it especially as a mum with a DP and I am aware I’m far to old to be doing anything like this.

Good on you. Be glad to realise you still have the stamina. You haven’t done anything wrong, and don’t let this ruin the memory of the holiday.

we all do crazy/silly things from time to time. I think it’s a good thing - stops us being too judgmental f others.

You went out and got drunk and came back? Your kids were with the other parent? Not with you?

is that it? I thought you were going to say you cheated or something.

I, genuinely, have no clue what you feel bad about.

Is this one of these situations where you don’t really want to admit you had a break and a good time, so piling guilt on yourself.

No good comes from being a martyr

I'm not sure what the issue is, tbh...

I'm a 47 year old mum of 2, one of whom is an adult, and I did this only a few weekends ago over the Easter holidays. Well I got in at 4.

Unless the massive drip feed is that you shagged someone, I really can't see what the problem is.

Beer fear, op?

What?

My word, as I was reading, I thought you were going to say you cheated on your partner.

You've done nothing wrong.

Lol, I rocked in at 5am a couple of weeks ago and I'm far older than you. My son said " what time do you call that?" - he's 18 though so can fend for himself and has been known to come in at that time. You are never too old to have fun, grab it while you can, it's not often you get responsible-free time with small DC.

This post is so bizarre. I thought you were going to say you left the children unattended or something. Ridiculous post, really

You are allowed a night out. Being a mum doesn’t mean all the individual fun is turned off. Like others I thought you were going to say you picked up a random man or at the very least danced naked on the tables!
You had a night out—- that’s it.

Yep. It's beer fear OP. You've not done anything wrong. Sounds like a good laugh.

Huh ?

I thought you were going to say you got drunk and shagged a random

Don’t be so bloody silly

Thanks for the replies and sorry for posting I just have really bad anxiety and over worry about things, we ended up sat near a group of blokes at the end of the night in the last pub we were in nothing happened we were just talking to them but I think because I was so drunk and my memory is very hazy, it’s like my mind is convincing myself I did something wrong, I sound a bit bonkers haha sorry I know I think I just feel a bit awful for getting too drunk where I can’t remember everything and coming home at such a daft time in the morning
