Would it be wrong?

[Moulder86]

As long as I could obviously bring myself to do it (wouldn't be for a while (next year)) do you think it would be wrong of me to go on a girls holiday and leave bubs with my parents for a week or so??

xx

 

[Alexas Mommy]

No it would not be wrong!!! Parents need time to themselves too, and you shouldn't feel guilty about it! As long as you trust your parents with your baby and they are fine with having him/her for the week then it is completely fine!!

 

[Moulder86]

It won't be for a while mostly due to money and bubs of course but I really would love to go to Ireland for a girlie holiday, obviously I can't at the moment but it's something I want to do just worried that me going away and leaving my lil man would make me seem like a bad mother......guess I'm just paranoid but thank you ) xx

 

[nikky0907]

Of course it wouldn't make you a bad mother!

It's just a week,he will be well taken care of with your parents and you deserve some time for yourself!

 

[brownhairedmom]

Nope, sounds good to me. I'll be leaving mine for a while to go to the states soon-ish.

 

[Moulder86]

Guess i'm just being silly, thanks girlies. x

 

[Younglutonmum]

yep ur definitely being silly lol!!

I'm planning on getting away next year without LO.

We may b mummys but we're people aswell

 

[xJG30]

Everyone needs a break

 

[moomin_troll]

Dont be daft lol ive laready told my OH that hes having the baby for a week next year when i go on a girls holiday lol just because you have a baby doesnt mean your life stops and im sure your parents would love to spend time with there grand child

 

[Mynxie]

Could you cope going a whole week without seeing or communicating with your child at all?

 

[Younglutonmum]

To be honest yes, I could cope without SEEING my child. Not communicating would be different though!! She'll only be about one when I go away but i'll be getting regular updates on how she is!!

I reckon all mummys deserve a break & I intend to take one!! i'm sure i'll miss my baby but i'm certainly looking forward to some me time!!

 

[Mynxie]

I'm certainly not putting anyone down for having a break and I agree that parents need a break from their LOs - lol why do you think they're all so happy when the kids are at school but as well as thinking how baby will cope (which I'm sure baby will be fine!) surely it must be mentally and emotionally draining on mum, being away from her child?

 

[kookie]

i say go for it if your comfortable with leaving bubs then why not all us mums deserve some girly time. Although i can't even bring myself to leave for a day let alone a week lol

 

[Younglutonmum]

Oh yeah, I know for a fact i'm going to be so so nervous leaving her behind lol!!

But i'm defo looking forward to some time alone. Maybe if I had a partner that wouldn't be the case as i'd have someone to share the load with, but as i'm on my own, I really think i'm going to need that week away!!

 

[mBLACK]

Ooh it sounds lovely! Of course it doesn't make you a bad mother, mothers work damn hard and deserve a treat for themselves every now and then! Enjoy your trip!

 

[Moulder86]

Oh I'm sure it'll be hard leaving him for a week but like luton mum said it's not as if I won't be having any contact or getting updates on a regular basis. x

I dont think its wrong, i think everyone deserves a break. BUT id wait and see how u actually feel at the time. When i was pregnant with my 1st i was still in college doing a course. I was absolutly adamant that after babes was born that i could go back and finish it, god it was only 2 hours 3 days a weeks. However as soon as he was born that was it! I couldnt even leave him to pop to the shops! Its an unreal feeling! Hes now 2 1/2 and ive only ever left him ONCE and i HATED every moment of it. I only went to my mates house as it was her 21st and id kept promising id go out and never did so i thought id bite the bullet. OMG i never stopped looking at the clock or txting my mom! (i trust my mom 110% but that wasnt the point lol) I was out for about 4 hours which felt like 4 years! So after a bit of an essay lol I guess it depends on what type of a person you are, although i dont think there is anything really WRONG with it however just bear in mind ur lo will grow up soooooo fast 1 week may seem like 'nothing' but youll be surprised how much they change in a week! Youve got plenty of time to go away or whatever when theyre older im not sure id want to miss even a precious week of my baby. Good luck in what you decide im sure ull be fine!!!

i'd say go for it.... me and OH are planning a getaway just us because after all, we may be parents but we are also a couple!! You are also a person and it will be great to go away and recharge your batteries!!

Will be good for your mum and dad too having their grandchild to themselves!!
