We survived

I needed to get my glasses adjusted...the lowercase didn't want to be in the car after all day yesterday. So he stayed with my mom. For about 3 hours -- the longest that I have ever been away from him.

And they all had fun...and I didn't feel guilty or angsty like I have the (very few) other times I've left him with someone else (my parents). I'm glad he was comfortable, but a little surprised that he wasn't a little upset to be away from me.

But, you know, maybe we're all growing up a bit.

Comments about my post, "We survived":

s were close but not that you'd never left him for longer than three hours. Maybe you should be taking more time for yourself at this point.

You don't just need time for yourself (although that is important), the lowercase needs to know that there is a world beyond mum and that he can survive in it.

I'm not saying leave him in daycare, but exposure to more outside influences might help with the separation issues you've mentioned.

My boys spend an hour a few times a week in the creche at the gym and absolutely love it - we had 8 kids at their 2nd birthday, all friends of theirs!

Wow, 3 hours is the longest you've left him? Crazy...
