Going out WITHOUT baby?!

[twinkle84]

Hey, I've left Aiden before to go pictures and a meal but next weekend we are goIng out on the fri for my birthday and sat to a concert! My mums having LO and I know he will be completely fine, but I feel really guilty and in worried because lately he has stated crying for me ESP on an eve and night time! Hubby had him tonight and he got in a right state until I took him! Will he be ok? Who been out and what's your experiences? Xx

Marcus and I went out for a meal on Valentines and I was texting mum asking if I could have a starter or if I'd have to rush home lol!
Turns out my mum is a pretty good mother...Lizzie fell asleep for her at 8:30 and slept through till 6 the next morning - it was her first night sleeping through! It's so hard leaving them with someone else, but at least with your mum you know that you turned out ok lol! And if neither of you are around it's likely that he will just settle with your mum - no other option really
Try not to worry and you'll have a great time! I ended up having a 3 course meal and coffee

I haven't left Joe yet, I was supposed to see Russell Howard on the 24th but couldn't coz Joe wouldn't take a bottle. Since then he has taken 3, then 2 ounces from a bottle so we're getting there slowly.

Once he's more establised on a bottle, I might try leaving him with my mum & just go to the local pub for a few hours coz it's only gonna get harder the longer I leave it & my mum's itching to have him! I'll probably be phoning her every 10 mins tho!

I'm going to a concert in march, Isla will be 5 months old and it's the first time I've left her. She still won't take a bottle but will drink from a sippy cup.

She's asleep for 7:30 and the earliest she will wake is 11 so I'm fairly confident she will be ok. I'm more worried that DH will mess it up! Alot can happen in a few weeks for a baby. I've realised that now!

He'll be fine hun. I know how you feel though cos I still hate leaving Charlie and worry about him constantly and he's 2. Hope you have a great time! x

Thanks for your support and Im sure he will be fine and I will too, I am looking forward to it but I like having him with me 24/7. Aiden is bottle fed, so a bit easier for me xx

I went out for the day on Saturday to go to a prayer meet. Seb screams for me until he goes purple and it breaks my heart so I always end up going and getting him but........he had no choice on Saturday. I was very very lucky, the lady I left him with (I class her as family) has 5 children of her own and I wasn't afraid at all. I missed him so much but she kept sending me pic messages of him. Yes he did cry but I couldn't hear him or do anything about it and she said as soon as he realised mummy wasn't coming he stopped and didn't start again. He had a great time (most if the pics were him laughing and smiling) and so did I x it's hard but worth it x

I've left Zak twice with my OH for an hour each time while i nipped to the doctors and I hated it !!! Suppose to be going for a meal on fri night with friends who have a 5 month old baby. I presumed we were taking babies with us but they have now got a babysitter. Is it bad that I still want to take Zak? I cant bear to leave him even with my mum ! I dont even like going havin a bath while OH looks after him! Dont want to think about him bein at home with my mum n me not being there even tho I know he will be so well looked after. Argh I sound like an obsessive mother ! I would just rather not go for this meal ......

 

[twinkle84]

Lucy I totally understand I do! It's not that we don't think they be looked after cos they will, I just miss him and can't wait to get home! No I don't think it's bad and you take him if you want, might just be nice to get out for an hour! My friends dint understand at all, they asked if we wanted to stop over at there's after we been out and I was like no way I've got my baby to get home to, what s crazy think to suggest haha xx wow Sophie I think it really is great you can so that you're going to have to make the most of it haha x
