First time leaving my kids overnight with dad and my first time leaving the kids period with me gone overnight

I feel the exact same way. You’re not alone, it’s completely normal to feel this way

Just pray about it and over your children. If you and dad are in the same household I’m sure he understands what needs to be done in an emergency. If not explain it to him or leave him with a list.. I’m the same way when it comes to my baby even if he thinks he knows everything it’s a motherly instinct

@Trinity is it. Because I suffer from extreme anxiety. So I thought I was over doing it.

@Kitty I left multiple lists, including our daily routine.

I get it. I've only left my son overnight with my husband when I had our daughter. He's an amazing, very involved father, but I think it's the fear of the loss of control that makes it hard. You said you've left lists, so that's a great start! He probably knows all this stuff and is perfectly capable but for your sense of comfort, leave locations of emergency supplies he may need, doctor phone numbers, routines, etc. It's going to be alright!!!

I get it. My daughter has only been away from us a total of 3 nights in her 2 years. One was when i had my second, and the other 2 were just because with her grandma. I was texting quite a bit the first time asking for text and picture updates..the second time i didnt have to ask, she just sent pictures every now and then 😂

I did 4 nights away from my 2 yo…. I felt so bad when we I hid in house for ‘practice’ nights on Wednesdays as i heard him crying for me 😢 but then if i was just not at home from point he was picked up from nursery, n my toddler was shown videos from me ‘on holiday’ walking along the street, my toddler didn’t care i wasn’t there he just carried on or askes for videos of cars on my street 😅 what i find out was my anxiety is only in my head, he was fine n my hubby was fine but i never wanted to do it again n i did regret it but had to do it again when i had my 2nd child and will again for my sisters hen do… with ur asthma problem, would running thru a plan of action help with ur anxiety? Has the dad seen what u do when there’s an attack?

I did 3 nights away for my brothers wedding when my baby was 3 months old, and her daddy was absolutely fine! Although, he would 100% find it harder to have her alone for that amount of time now that she's 9.5 months and mobile lol

First time I left my daughter for a few hours at a time with my husband to go to a mum friend, I was so anxious but got used to it. You just have to remember they’re the parent too so they should be fully aware of anything that goes wrong too. I also took a week holiday with my mum in December and he had my daughter for the week, let’s say the first day I was gone He wished i took our daughter with me🤣 he said “never again” lol But they were fine, she was fed, changed and clean and somewhat entertained. Don’t worry, sometimes you have to let them be, the More you stress the less you’ll enjoy yourself🥰 enjoy your sisters wedding, and relax🥰
