Single mum for 2 weeks :(

[1st_baby]

I dont know if i should post this here but i will be a single mum for 2 weeks I know i sound like a whiner but im not sure ill make it

My husband will be going to school and working and i will alone for 2 weeks from 5am till 11pm and still doing night feedings ..

I thought id ask you girls since your strong and know how to deal with this I could use some advice ..sorry if this offends any one as its only for 2 weeks but im scared to death

I think single mothers are absolutely amazing, like you the thought of doing it all myself frightens me! Stan's boss wanted to send him to Romania for two weeks and I said no way!!

Have you got any close relatives/friends near by incase you get worried?
Just do what you normally do, be strong and you'll be fine x

I know it sounds strange but sometimes it's easier 'going it alone'.No-one to tell you to look after your baby in a way thats different to your own, no one to get up to go to the toilet in the night and accidently stand on something,scream blue murder and wake baby.No-one to interrupt you whilst your having a quiet 5 minutes with stupid questions like 'wheres my fave blue cup gone' or 'have you seen the newspaper? *what is it about men that they cant just look for something before askign where it is?*
Seriously, just think of it as a time to bond with your bubba and have him/her to yourself without someone else demanding attention
I would say good luck, but you wont need it x

Just an idea, why don't you practice for a week? Do everything on your own and ignore your OH for a week! You'll be suprised how well you cope x

Here, here... great idea.

you just kinda get on with it, cos theres no other way and you likle one will keep you entertained/rewarded. If you have any friends that can pop round through the day to break your day up, or go out for a few hours with that will help too. Good luck hun and it aint that bad.....x

I've had OH coming and going for the last bit (works in camp) and I was really scared the first time I had to do it. Once we made it through I couldn't believe I'd done it. But it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Good luck, I think that you will do wonderfully.

I live with my mum and my best friend whose LO is 5 days older than alex lives on her own.

and to be honest we both cope more or less the same. She has no one tellin her how to do this or that she's doin anything wrong, whereas i do. But at the same time if i need to run to the shop i can just ask mam will she keep an eye on alex for 5 mins but Ciara needs to dress her LO and make sure she has what she needs for the trek. Both have their ups and downs. You will be fine.

Dont be afraid to ask for help or company.I'd imagine youll surprise yourself.
